He is thick, but not George W. Bush thick.

Johnson's not stupid, he's just an objectionable personality thinly veiled by a bumbling oaf facade and the last person you'd want as your national figurehead regardless of his political persuasion.

Trump, he's got by on brute personality rather than intelligence. i recall Bush jr both being humbled and he apparently had reasonable success as a governor of Texas (promoted wind power!).

I basically assumed that a few years ago. More recently I became less sure and now I'm coming to the conclusion that somehow, Donald is actually less intelligent than George.

Are we doing this as 'IQ' intelligent or 'wordly-wise' intelligent?
Trump isn't thick. He's a ruthless narcissist with utter contempt for his fellow humans.
Bush is super thick, 'religious', and just a front man for the interests of his family and their cabal who directed all his decision. Remember his response to 9/11 when he was stuck somewhere with nobody around to tell him what to do?

This. Trump used a global pandemic to air his nationalistic rhetoric and push his ‘America against the world’ agenda.
Pretty low.

Indeed.
If you go by this thread, throw in a little power and the theory that ignorance is bliss, a net worth of billions might make Trump a happy bunny.

Trump is obviously thick, which begs the question, just how thick are those that vote for him

Very, very, very stupid.
I think there's a subtle difference between being clever and being intelligent.
Trump can be very clever. He hits upon an angle that neatly captures an issue and pushes it relentlessly ('Build that wall', 'Make America Great Again'). He also ruthlessly characterises his opponents in easily remembered nicknames ('Lyin' Ted', 'Crooked Hillary' etc.). That makes him extremely effective.
But he is not very intelligent, because he has absolutely no grasp of nuance or complexity. He simply doesn't seem to understand anything that can't be framed in binary terms. And of course, like most entitled people, he has no humility and therefore no conception of the fact that he doesn't understand the issues.
Ruthlessness and cleverness, but a total lack of subtlety or complex intelligence, is why he is such a dangerous and terrifying figure, in my opinion.

I guess not the president who graduated from Harvard in 1975 with an MBA, the only U.S. president to have earned one.

I only saw this yesterday (missed it when it was news):

“Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary—and therefore know him well—I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.”

It's just pure Trump. When discussing the lack of Coronavirus tests in the US this week, he said "Anybody that needs a test gets a test; they're there, they have the tests, and the tests are beautiful"
I struggle to cope with just how ****ing stupid he is.
