Is this how Trump developed bone spurs?

(satire)

Jasmine Crockett just uncovered Trump’s actual 1968 military draft evaluation — and it tells a very different story than Trump’s claim of being a genius.

He couldn’t even meet the Army’s officer minimum for IQ in 1968. So I think that is why he went with the bone spur instead of the moron story.

Cheers and happy weekend!

    I see this is labeled as altered or synthetic content. I suggest you take this down pending further authentication.  My understanding is that their is no IQ test given to recruits.

    Edited to add that I did not watch past the first minute, if that. It is an AI voice, which is usually a tipoff. This post was edited by Jane S at September 12, 2025 11:47 AM MDT

    I couldn't find much more about it so I’m not sure if it is true or not now. She said it was an IQ test to see if he could serve as an officer so maybe there is a test for that. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Trust me, it's not real. I am a political junkie these days and I would have seen it if it were real. And it is evened labeled as synthetic content.

    We don't need a phony IQ test to know Trumps intelligence level.

    Not to dispute your reply, but I did find this:

    "The United States military does not explicitly require a specific IQ score for enlistment. Instead, it utilizes the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), which is a standardized aptitude test. A minimum AFQT score of 31 is generally needed to enlist in most branches. The AFQT is then used to calculate an “aptitude score” for placement within specific military jobs. The AFQT measures verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities, which correlate with general intelligence, but it’s not a direct IQ measurement. 

    The AFQT is a component of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), a multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military. The AFQT specifically measures arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, verbal expression, and word knowledge.

    While the military doesn’t directly use IQ scores, there’s a correlation between AFQT scores and estimated IQ ranges. An AFQT score of 31 is generally considered equivalent to an IQ score of around 83, which is near the lower end of the average range of intelligence. However, this is only an approximation. Factors such as education, cultural background, and test-taking skills can influence both AFQT and IQ scores."

    Yes, they have you take the ASVAB, when you are just speaking to the recruiter.    
    I took it in high school, though decided not to enlist. Only thing I had left was physical and signing the paperwork. But for years afterwards,  I got mail from them saying they wanted me for nuclear engineering.   My thoughts on that were nope, I not doing anything with nukes.

    Interesting, I wonder why more draftees didn't just deliberately fail it.  

    I don't have a problem with Trump being a draft dodger. It was very common.

    I don't know that that would have necessarily got them out. There are follow-up evaluations after the paper tests.
