Every time I see him speak or write, I wonder why they don’t have IQ tests for being president.

Because pseudo-science has no place deciding who gets to participate in their country's politics.

Cause for so many, having money is seen as a replacement for being smart.

They actually think that having money proves that rich people are smart. Had a dumb ass tell me a couple years ago that Musk must be smart, because he wouldn't be so rich if he wasn't a genius.

They had tests, but for active voting rights and for racist reasons.

“In order to receive your presidency, you must first answer this skill-testing question:”

Put a clown in the white house and he won't become a president but the white house a circus.

Someone said.
