    Could this work?   

    They tried to tell us not to try.   I will try.  You are smarter than Trump.  I have succeeded.

    That is an Asian Forest Centipede. Venomous.

    Trump has a BS degree in Economics (from Wharton, which his rich daddy bankrolled). He has less formal education than the 3 Presidents who preceded him.
    By comparison, I earned a BS degree in Business Mgmt (from UCF, on MY dime) and a Masters in Engineering (on a partial scholarship, from UVA). This is no contest. Trump has less education than I do,... and less than most of my friends do. 

    On a personal level, I consider myself smart enough NOT TO:
    a) presume everybody else is stupid;
    b) need to appeal to the credulity of stupid people;
    c) perpetuate a life of delusion that consistently puts me at odds with the available evidence;
    d) need to be surrounded by lackeys and enablers to prop up my ego;
    e) claim singular expertise in areas I have none; and,
    f) exaggerate my life, self-worth and accomplishments to others.

    I have as yet seen no evidence to indicate the current President is anything but the antithesis of this.

    Many thanks, 99.
    I think there is value in drawing a distinction between presentable intelligence and the pretense of intelligence.

    Maybe I'm`10 to 20% smarter. I was just thinking it would be hilarious to watch Trump try to solve that algebra problem about the 2 trains. Cheers!
