How can it be that a nation with such a high intelligence, elected this dense motherfucker as the president of the US; debatably the most powerful man in the world.
TL;DR - How did a man this dumb become president
Hudson Sanchez
He's smart and you are the dumb one.
Carson Powell
the average American IQ is about 100...that means a good deal of our 300+ million citizens are fucking idiots.
then, we have suffrage for evryone over 18 without a felony.
so, mentally ill and legitimately retarded peoples' votes count just the same as a genius'. Imagine your average middle aged blue collar factory worker...they probably have a high school diploma and the extent of their political research is most likely chain drinking beer while watching Fox and those edgy right wing chain emails his buddy at the plant sends him so of course he'll vote for Trump
then there's the electoral college which Trump won despite Clinton winning the popular vote.
Eli Martinez
>clinton won the popular vote no, nobody won the popular vote. more elligible voters didnt vote than voted for hillary.
Christian Barnes
apparently, you're not the smartest people, you pothead. hope your shit-nation is breaking itself apart with the help of this clown.
>BAD PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY lmao
Easton Moore
Holy shit, this is just as pathetic an excuse as the retards who keep saying "hurrr Sup Forums elected Trump."
Nigger, 62 million people are not "legitimately retarded", you just lost. You need to face that someday or remain a little deluded fuckboi.
>b-b-but muh popular vote
Still with this? kek
Jason Scott
>mocking trump for using twitter fdr mastered the use of radio, Kennedy mastered television, trump mastered twitter. you just dont get it because youre not smart enough.
Nicholas Baker
yea, but how did he win a primary of 17 mostly-qualified candidates?
Michael Morris
Because it started out as a joke that went on for too long. He got exposure to the less educated and won. With Hillary, tech stocks would have sorted through the roof and caused an investment boom.
Michael Nelson
Money establishment party corrupt government politics on both sides the list effectively goes on that in a group of internet trolls that wanted to fuck with people from other countries with a flurry of disinformation campaigns going on
Joseph Wilson
so? even if only 1 voter cast a ballot, whoever they vote for wins the popular vote.
a vote not cast has no input.
if the remaining 40-45% of eligible voters had voted, the majority would have most likely would havee voted for Clinton
Nolan Allen
look it the other way around: all you dumb fuckers were so much into your left liberal shit that you cant see trump is addressing real problems here.
Luis Taylor
SHILL BEGONE
Thomas Lee
Liberal or Progressive make up your mind idiot
William Rodriguez
Do you not know how elections work? Do you want a step-by-step?
Or are you implying that someone else should have rigged the primaries against him like Hillary did with Bernie by colluding with the DNC and CNN to make sure he lost and she was the candidate?
Connor Long
um, that's not how it works.
John Bell
a lot of people took a look at the two main candidates and the two main protest candidates and simply chose not to vote. abstaining is still voting, the fact that "no candidate" really won the popular vote speaks to how out of touch the candidates really are.
Ethan Edwards
Go to Independent sources check the facts not the facts of matter and not alternative facts for that matter
Austin Hill
not voting is voting. especially this last election.
Michael Rivera
>mastered twitter
yeah right. with everybody losing count on tweets that are downright idiotic, he needs to take back, impulsive shit he posts, embarrassing phrasing and typos. way to "master a media". and his entrance speech! oh, such a gold moment!
Chase Collins
This is the correct answer. He told his base exactly what they wanted to hear, and they mobilized after he got them riled up about "muh factory jobs" and Mexicans. I saw this coming from a mile away, despite all of the media huff about "HE CAN'T WIN". No matter what happens though, we are witnessing history being made. Probably the decline of global U.S. hegemony.
Easton Brown
he probably won the election because of twitter.
Joseph Walker
Have you ever BEEN to Walmart?
Gabriel Sullivan
He's being mocked for his terrible grammar. Trump also seems to have a very limited vocabulary. He's an idiot, there's really no denying that.
Brody Bell
no. I dont hate small businesses.
John Perry
he has terrible grammar because there is a word limit on twitter.
Bentley Moore
I have it's a shitshow run by idiots and the grunts are barely holding on and so is the Weekend Warriors actually doing all the work doing overtime I'm being paid enough to do overtime because if they don't they lose their job they can't organize a union because the government suppresses all unions
Grayson Diaz
1. I didnt lose anything. I'm not a Dem or Clinton supporter
2. I've never supported the electoral college. I'm not most libs that just started caring about it because they lost. The electoral college should have been done away with by the 1950s.
3. it was just an over-generlization. No 62 million people arent legit retards, and in fact, i bet as many low iq idiots voted for Clinton.
I'm talking about those Forrest Gump sweet zone type that just believe whatever their tv tells them. The are just inherently more susceptible to Trump's persona and pandering
Austin Howard
>nation with such a high intelligence a nation with a high intelligence wont do that
Jackson Kelly
He got exposure because it's Donald fucking Trump and it was the liberal media GIVING him the exposure the entire time, shit-for-brains. Your entire argument is pathetic like every other liberal's because you just can't fathom that your thinking is what's wrong and everybody else gives a shit about real issues that matter. Head to head, his platform connected with people while hers didn't. I know, mind-blowing, right? There are actually normal people that disagree with whatever whacky thing is a huge deal to you this week.
>With hillary [insert a bunch of gobble-dee gook that i just pulled out my ass because i'm still with her]
kek
The popular vote, counting all eligible voters who DID actually vote, was less than a full percentage point difference. There's no logical way for you to say "the majority would have..." because, again, they didn't vote. The only logical hypothesis is that it would have been split down the middle just like the actual popular vote. But yeah, keep your head up your ass or whatever if you want.
Angel Smith
he won the election because of Sup Forums
Jose Ward
It's because our ignorance has always tried to shut up harm all the intelligent people so they have to stay silent and then eventually when we say we had enough oh did you see the protest
Jaxson Garcia
>forrest gump sweet zone type that believe whatever their tv tells them you mean like the girl that gets a's in my organic chem class who also thinks the clintons kill their political dissidents and sell child sex slaves?
Nicholas Morris
Trump aint dumb. His persuasion skills are probably the best in the world. Hes very clever at that. Probably a shit president tho.
You are an idiot if you think a BILLIONAIRE is stupid.
Evan Taylor
i don't think it's fair to compare trump shitposting on twitter to fdr
Ian Morgan
Because the right question has been refused so many time by money
Evan Anderson
he inherited his money and has many failed businesses
Michael Thompson
Nothing I said was alternative fact. How stupid are you exactly? Donna Brazille still doesn't have a job at CNN today precisely because she colluded with Hillary to make Bernie lose. Wacherman Schultz had to "resign" as DNC head for the same thing. Democrats were rioting at their own rallies just last year. Are you trying to whitewash history and act like that didn't happen?
Fucking pathetic honestly.
Brayden Barnes
Half of the people in the US are below the bell curve distribution for intelligence. Half are above.
This means 150 million people in this country are dumb as shit.
Its a lot easier to rile up a dumb person with fear and xenophobia than it is to establish a reasonable and logical reason why you should vote.
Dylan Gonzalez
uh huh... yea twitter obviously forces him to use words like 'bigly'
Levi Williams
they both used new communication technology to best their political opponents. you might not like twitter or trump, but it's a lesson to be learned.
Jaxon Flores
...no. abstaining is literally not voting. You're like those guys that say atheism is a religion.
if you abstain from eating, you have not eaten. You must be thinking of that Rush song that says if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.
but thats not how elections work. I agree that candidates are not in touch with the average american, but only submitted votes aare considered. you cant just say well ~45% didnt vote so the both lose
Robert Stewart
>Being talked down to by a degenerate
Samuel Roberts
He inherited 1 million and made 4-10 billion. He persuaded 60 mill people to vote for a man that literally said grab em by the pussy he won states like florida, ohio, wisconsin and Michigan that nobody expected him to win.
You are the dense one if you think hes dumb. Hea supremely intelligent. And i didnt vote for drumpf either. I voted hillary
Austin James
>inherently more suceptible to pandering
You mean like when hillary paid millions of her campaign donations to have Jay-Z, beyonce, and katy perry throw a huge concert where tickets were free? A free concert, despite their lyrics being full of the very same "hate speech" and "sexist, misogynistic" bullshit she claimed to be fighting against?
Get real, kid.
Leo Ward
stay butthurt, libtard loser your daily tears are delicious
Owen Kelly
>nation with such a high intelligence think we found the problem with your logic right there
Colton Powell
we arent talking about eating or some shitty nerd band. choosing not to vote is voting, it's one less vote than a candidate would have earned. the rest of what you said is irrelevant, because nobody won the majority or plurality of support of the people.
we're not going to agree, its a difference of perspective i guess.
Eli Kelly
fucking idiot
>bb b b b b b bb b b bbbb b b bbbb b but hillaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Benjamin Hernandez
look who he ran against
Isaac Green
>he's supremely intelligent he's a good salesman.
Michael Stewart
First off let me start by saying that the system's been broken for a while but now because this mango dildo got elected, people are just starting to make noise about it.
The main reason he lost is because the democrats picked one of the weakest candidates as their nominee. Some of the most reliable polls had Hillary losing to trump by just a few percentage points before the primaries. She's tried to win the presidency 3 fucking times already and she's always failed. Hillary is a terrible campaigner. She doesn't do well in red states and she doesn't understand the importance of winning swing states.
All of the experts with great hindsight saw this coming, even Sanders warned the people that if Hillary was the Democrats' nominee, we were going to end up with Trump as our president.
Don't act surprised because a lot of people did try to warn you but you didn't listen.
Where was all this noise during the primaries eh? Only now AFTER Trump already won do you decide to riot and shit. Fucking idiots.
Mason Young
>I was just smoking a blunt and it got me thinking woah brooo
Nicholas Martin
Plenty of smart people believe objectively stupid things. Ben Carson, Trump's pick for Secretary of HUD is a brilliant surgeon but believes the Pyramids were built by a biblical figure to store grain.
Jose Roberts
agree wholeheartedly with this man
Angel Flores
You smoke too much weed. That man wants to safe american people from crazy commies and stypid sjw cucks and you are complaining, get a grip.
Jace Adams
Nigger, you just made a very general and unsubstantiated claim that he pandered to people and that's how he won the vote. The way to refute your bullshit statement was to show how hillary actually pandered her ass off and still lost, so your argument doesn't hold water.
Do you not know what critical thinking skills are, or do you just not have them?
Charles Reed
>2017 >still thinks school grades are a valid indicator of intelligence
i knew several straight a students. they had good memories and could regurgitate it on command, but talk to them about something not on the curriculum and they go brain dead.
willfully ignorant people are terrible
Justin Roberts
organic chemistry involves some critical thinking, not just regurgitating memorized facts.
Lincoln Gutierrez
>Nation with high intelligence What?!??! Are you serious. Do you know what place we are in for education? That statement you just made showed how stupid Americans are. How you gonna put your foot in your mouth and fall on your own sword at the same time?
Elijah Morris
Best I've seen in my life. I'm a body language expert and im 45, so I'v seen my fair share of presidents. Trump is an absolute genius at what he does. He gets human psychology. Auhoritarian nationalism will always win votes over. Fact is we humans are irrational and emotional creatures and trump gets that. His slogans were great and his attacks were pinpoint.
I think he'll be a shit president but anyone who thinks he is stupid is automatically the stupid one. People dont realise how much emphasis there is on politicians to look good. Physically and emotionally. Trump plays the nationalist card REALLY well.
Jace Bailey
>How did a man this dumb become president
LISTEN TO THE WAILING OF THE BUTTHURT JEWS
Ethan Murphy
He is not dumb. Just not educated in anything but business, ignorant, and given to conspiracy theories. He has actually given National Inquirer and Breightbart News as sources to show what he thinks is right. That just comes from ignorance. He is a cable news freak, doesn't read hardly anything. He lies frequently and thinks no-one will notice. Putin is dancing a jig right now. Out of curiosity, does anyone really think Flynn collaborated with the Russians without Trumps go ahead.
Landon Ross
He's not saying it does, but i can understand what he's saying. The only problem is, we need to live in a world as it is; not as we want it to be. In the end you americans were left with two both equally wrong choices. One proven corrupt and a total untrustworhthy cunt, and the other a douchebag that had no political career before, and also likely corrupt. But somehow i stay optimistic and think the fact he might be narcistic, also might prove to be a drive for him to show america how good he wants to rule the country.
John Turner
This. America is fucking dumb.
Xavier Taylor
see here's another guy who trusted the polls and media before to tell him Hillary was a shoo-in, and then, when Trump won, trusted them afterwards as well to tell him who voted for whom despite knowing they were unreliable.
A much larger group of people who fall outside your "fucking idiot sheeple" group voted for Trump, and then didn't tell their friends because they feared being social outcasts, and rightly so.
Voters from the silent majority won it for Trump, and they aren't all backwoods unemployed inbred people. Wake up! Stop pretending it's all one entity that Trump can move this way and that with his will and realize that 60 million people made a conscious decision to vote for the man.
Alexander Ramirez
according to barbara corcoran he sold some multimillion dollar complex to some chinese businessmen without them even looking at it. everyone who knows him personally said he would win the election, and be a pretty bad president..
Julian Watson
this
Easton Stewart
Was given 1 million and inherited a lot more in realestate.
Grayson Wilson
Did you vote?
Eli Cooper
I get that perspective and even though I agree with not voting as a right and form of protest, it just doesnt apply when determining the election.
nobody sits down and says well shit...lowest voter turn out in decades, guess nobody "wins."
no. we just tally up actual ballots that were cast.
is=\=ought
Jonathan Long
They're stupid because they believed the lies about Hillary. And now, finally, the dominoes are beginning to fall in this ill-gotten administration.
Easton Adams
according to south park, 1/4 of the population is retarded. 62 million is about 1/4 of the voting population.
Jaxson White
because the nation is not intelligent. Have you ever met anyone with an IQ of 98 (the avg IQ in the US)?
Brandon Myers
Idk whether he will be a good president or not. I think his business acumen is good. But his salesmanship is at levels with Obama. Obama was a master orator and so is trump.
Trump knows how to win people over. Hes won all his life. He gets himan psychology and salesmanship. Hillary was utter dogshit in terms of salesmanship.
Jace Hernandez
>How can it be that a nation with such a high intelligence,
You assumed.
Carson Diaz
stupidity and xenophobia have no correlation whatsoever. Ever been to a country club? A whole bunch of rich bitches that don't want to associate with anyone else. This is the left's biggest logical fallacy, that the "there are too many people here already" argument can be dismissed because only stupid people think that
Adam King
Trump isn't dumb OP he has billions of dollars and knows how to keep it
Bentley Ramirez
>Obama was a master orator and so is trump. >and so is Trump You need to be able to speak above a middle school level to be considered a master orator.
Noah White
Nailed it.
Gavin Harris
right, youre talking from the point of who actually becomes the president/winner. I'm talking from the point of actually winning majority support of the people, which nobody won.
just different ways to look at it, though it annoys me that people imply that because hillary won more votes than trump that the majority of people supported her.
Henry Sanders
>taking your scientific knowledge on brains from a children's cartoon unironically
Ian Ross
user meant that Trump gives master oral to putin
Christopher Nguyen
lol trump is so dumb XD roll up another blunt bruh
Jonathan Gutierrez
>I was just smoking a blunt and it got me thinking
And there is your problem.
Austin Hernandez
They very likely used real statistics. That's the joke.
Christopher Brooks
he's a very skilled communicator, he speaks at a level nearly everyone can understand.
Alexander Murphy
They say kids always speak the truth. As a kid (6 years old) i once asked the teacher how many people we habe in our country. She answered 17m, and i replied: no, we full.
Therefor i'm not stupide, i am truth. And dubs
Adrian Brooks
>
Tyler Mitchell
If Trump isn't stupid then why's so much his shit being misspelled lately?
Charles Watson
That's just not true. Trump wouldn't even have had a chance against Obama. He's probably the best campaigner in US History.
Trump won because he went against one of the weakest candidates in history period.
Brody Perry
>tfw you realize the average US voter simply isn't that smart
Benjamin Barnes
>he speaks at a level nearly everyone can understand. Well I can agree with you on that.
Nolan Morales
uh, what? you were a dumb kid, son... don't suppose you went through the American school system, didya?
Gavin Peterson
he doesnt have time to spell correctly like some nerdy school science little bitch. the people are sick and tired of people spelling correctly.
Nolan Nguyen
On phone.
I laughed when the media mocked Trump for speaking like a 10 yr old.
He does it deliberately.
Because it works.
Logan Adams
Explains Obama, twice.
Literally never had a real job in his life.
Carter Morgan
I hear ya there. I just want to say "nigger" a bunch of times anymore.
Gabriel Cook
Obama nearly lost to romney though. There wasnt THAT much in it
Wyatt Russell
>they very likely use real statistics
>can't name one of them
Sure they do. Kind of like I can look back on a football game from Sunday and say "Welp, my team lost because clearly all the fans of the other team are fucking retards. Also the capacity of the Giant's stadium is about 1/100th of the population or something."
