That's a tough one, hard to say.

(24,468 posts)Not sure of the source, but this certainly does not reflect the current state of deaths in the US. Or is this the official Trump approved chart?

A further search indicates that the specific chart shown is for Sweden.

(44,973 posts)We are now over a 1,000 deaths per day. Your charts shows close to zero. You chart is either not for US, or I don't know what it shows.

(2,193 posts)I found articles using it to compare Sweden to US.
It was used on at least two pages that are investor interest groups speculating when the market will be hot, or something.
I don't follow that stuff but googled the image URL, it goes to Traders-Talk HeadQuarters.

(11,736 posts)The answer is NO. He is not as smart as a 5th grader, or to be more precise, his ability to use his intellectual tools, is less developed in most ways, than a 5th grader.
The thing about 5th graders is that they lack experience and their reasoning skills are not fully developed because their brains are literally not fully developed.
Trump supposedly has a fully developed brain and this is how he is using it. So, the answer is pretty easy. Given normative developmental rates, those 5th graders will definitely be smarter than Trump when their brains fully develop. That is, if they stay away from Fox News and right wing radio.
