Grand, sweeping statements about the country’s 250-year history may be considered overgeneralization, inflammatory or harassing, but there is no denying that the conventional wisdom among many Americans is that Donald Trump is the least intelligent president in the country’s history.
The United States has had many bad presidents, both Republican and Democratic. There is a difference between being a bad president and a president who is mentally incapable of doing his job.
America has had presidents who were workaholics and those who preferred to go to their ranches, clear brush and ride horses. America has had presidents who consumed information and others who were ideologues lacking intellectual curiosity.
There have been all kinds of presidents, but until Donald Trump, none were considered objectively stupid.
The conventional wisdom that Trump is not intelligent has become so common that even congressional leaders speak openly about the current president’s lack of intellectual abilities.
At his weekly press conference, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries was asked to respond to Trump calling him “low IQ.”
Jeffries responded by challenging Trump to show his own limits.
