Trump is obviously more intelligent than the majority of human beings, but his intelligence is lower than what would be expected/desired for a national leader (or even high government official) and would be more suited for corporate middle management.
I really don't know what the average is for all human beings. I suppose what you say could be true since 1. so much of the world is in 3rd world poverty with no knowledge or education and 2. the majority of the US voted for him meaning they're stupider than him. But then again, there is a difference between raw intelligence, which could lead a person to go from abject poverty to riches, and legacy affluence which could lead a very stupid person being brought up in such a lifestyle and environment to develop in a way that covers up the natural stupidity. And then there's also senility because the interviews that I've seen of Trump from when he was young didn't seem stupid at all. But once again, I'm not familiar with average intellect for all human beings; I work in medical genetics, spent my whole life in academia, and when it pertains to military matters, I am educated on this forum, constantly reading from posters the likes of Blitzo, Deino and tphuang. So when I hear someone say that no one knows if COVID is a bacteria or virus or germ but UV light injection could be helpful, or that stealth is ineffective because the enemy just has to know your shape, or that the US can bomb Moscow using F-22s with Chinese flags to start a war between China and Russia, it's hard for me to imagine that this person has any significant signs of intelligence.

I don’t believe he will turn on Israel that easily.

I thought of something last night, but wanted to go to sleep.

Now we are talking.

There are only three possibilities that are possible, maybe there are more, but who knows.

In regards to this Israel and Iran war and ceasefire announced by President Trump, there are only three ways to interpret this story.

1. The Israelis launching a surprise attack against American wishes, means the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, which is a historical belief among American enemies that America is always having some conspiracy inside their own government apparatus.

2. It is the same situation as when the French started bombing Libya, then the Americans joined in, where President Obama that asshole claimed that the United States was leading from behind. In other words they were the REMFers in that case, as they were in cahoots.

3. This was a blatant attempt of the tail to wag the dog. Here, cannot think of an example readily because this rarely ever works.

All three scenarios are plausible.

However, I fully believe in #3 because I wish that will happen!

Haha! The spice! That is the spice of life!

Just think about it, who are the players here. It is the Jews and neo-cons who is the tail trying to wag the dog, the dog being President Trump. But, Trump owes his presidency on the MAGA base, who do not support those stupid wars.

Obviously, one side wants war, and the other side does not want war, and Trump is in the middle. He has decided to let those two sides fight it out. That is good. I want to see this fight.

The Jews and neo-cons versus the MAGA base. Man, I would love to see this fight! War or no war!

However, we already know, who is outnumbered and who is unpopular, awahahahaha! Never seemed to me that the MAGA base really like those joos.

So I have to expect someone is going to shut up at the end, and that will be the neo-cons.

If the neo-cons insist and push for war, Trump will unleash MAGA on them, and try to destroy the neo-cons once and for all.

That is why this stuff is all so fascinating, even though admittedly I am laughing my ass off most of the time, haha!

President Trump actually has a nascent cult of personality thing going.

If President Trump tells his base that we got to go after this target because of whatever reason, the MAGA base will feel energized to do it, to Make America Great Again, and not have these people pushing for more stupid wars to get in the way of that.

That is how I see it, and totally wish for it, that a looming showdown is coming between the Jews and neo-cons versus the MAGA base, who are lead by personality cult.

Let's pray it happens! Haha!

:D

Admitted a fight between MAGA and the neo cons would certainly be fun to watch and who knows, maybe they will completely destroy each other to the point where the nation finally wakes up and tries to do better, although I seriously doubt it

In Canada's case I think we're doing some accounting fudging here and there. Things like now including previously counted as non-defense spending stuff as defense (like the coast guard). Yeah I don't think any of us know how we're gonna get to that target.
Deadline is 2035? Trump is only gonna be around for three more years.

I think the reality is that Trump may not be that intelligent in the academic sense, however, he has fantastic political instincts and is able to "read the room" in context of the US's political system. He is conniving, wily, and "simple" in his thinking, but in a way that allows him to position for maximum political effect. However, he lacks the ability to actually govern the country.

The closest person I can think of to him in China's history is Emperess Dowager Cixi.

It's probably a combination of 1 and 3. Israel almost certainly let Trump know that they'd attack, he didn't like it, but couldn't stop it either. The reason he couldn't stop it is because he owes his winning the election to Israel. His MAGA base was always gonna vote for him, but the populace of the left turning against Israel over Palestine caused Israel become uncomfortable with the left and acted as the minority tiebreaker to get Trump elected. Once Israel got itself into a quagmire and needed Trump's help to get out, his instincts told him that he now has leverage and can pursue his own goals. Israel probably wanted him to help them destroy Iran, but he decided to just drop a few bombs and force a ceasefire.

This episode is over, but there's no way Netanyahu just wanted a 12 day bombing campaign over Iran, that achieves nothing and will only strengthen Iran in the long run. He must've wanted regime change instead. Trump though is not interested in stuff like regime change in the Middle East. With the left turning even more against Israel, and elements of the MAGA base becoming more vocal against Israel as well, Trump now has both leverage and more incentive to rein Israel in.
