    I was only joking mate. It just reminded me when Clinton and the left completely underestimated Trump’s chances of winning by thinking all his supporters were bible hugging, gun shooting, inbred white males- ‘deplorables’. But there were a heap of undercover everyday middle class female, black, Mexican etc people that voted him in

    Intelligence is defined as "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".

    Knowledge is "a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning"

    Given that Trump supporters only thrive in acquiring lies and despise and ignore facts, they neither acquire nor apply knowledge, which means that they themselves limit their intelligence (as per above definition) to Zero.

    From maths ... no matter how often you add Zero of anything together, the total will stay Zero.

    At it's peak @ $157. DWAC has a $1.7b valuation if it hits a certain stock price according to their presser (though there's no SEC filing on it) this gives Trump effectively around 170m shares.

    Is this definition yours BP, or have you just regurgitated it from a dictionary or similar?

    The implication in your definition is that because you have knowledge, then you must understand?

    Would have thought through observation we can see that the world is abundant of "knowledgeable" people, who actually don't have much true understanding??

    This conversation has become too subtle and complex for my mind.
