Probably a GOP-funded site.

Donald Trump's IQ is 156, while JFK's was 119?
I don't think so.

Sylvester Stallone's IQ is 160, while Al Franken's is only 110?
No frickin' way!

Bill O'Reilly's IQ is 150?
Benjamin Netanyahu's IQ is 180?
(Notice how the right-wingers' IQs are way too high to be true, while many "liberals" IQ's seem way too low)

Michelle Obama's IQ is only 115?
Andy Warhal's IQ was only 86?
Bernie Sanders IQ is only 119?
Muhammad Ali's IQ was only 78?
Bullshit!!!

How could they have possibly known the IQ's of Beethoven, Mozart and Charles Dickens?

And who the hell is "Richard G. Nixon?

And there are a LOT of other questionable numbers on that site as well. Stephen Hawking is only 4 points higher than Trump?

learning difficulties in children... to use it to define intelligence among people when intelligence is ill-defined and consists of multiple different problem solving pathways is problematic.

ps: when I say problematic I mean ludicrous.

pps: Carry on!
