Came across an interesting post on blue sky -- said that Trump's IQ was rated in the seventies in high school.

So, apparently a guidance counselor in the high school that Trump attended kept the results of the IQ test and possibly other documents at home, and after his death, the box with documents were found. They are in the process of authenticating.

Update: This has been debunked, but it's worth going to see because of the comments. My favorite one basically said, we had 24/7 streaming proof of his low IQ.

An IQ of 70 would meet criteria for mild intellectual disability (what used to be called mental retardation). I’ve worked with that population, and so I’m quite familiar with the presentation and intellectual limitations.

Trump may be stupid, with a sixth grade vocabulary, but to insinuate he has an intellectual disability is an insult to those who do.

There's plenty of things Trump does to insult him about that are true and don't also insult people who have real disabilities.

IQ is a racist eugenic concept anyway. Why do we need it to determine that Trump is a terrible person?

trump has hidden his college and other grades and test scores. I am still taking this story with a grain of skepticism
