Trumps business acumen can be summed by the following question
Q: How do you make a small fortune?
A: Start with a large one
Putin, on the other hand? He started off with nowt. Anyone care to guess a figure on the billions in oil wealth he's now got squirreled away in dodgy Swiss bank accounts?
All while maintaining a 70% approval rating from the people you've effectively been defrauding for the best part of 2 decades?
Seems pretty smart to me!
And high IQ equating to emotional intelligence (let alone actual intelligence)?? Don't make me laugh..
No IQ does not equate to emotional intelligence. I would need to find the source I read but the indications of the latest research are that the higher your IQ the more likely you are to also be able to read other people's emotions.
That's not the same thing as though as then choosing to adapt your approach in response to that information, which is typically regarded as being on the traits of high 'EQ' people. That's more a product of your degree of 'agreeableness', i.e. your desire to be nice to people.
More controversially though, there is a school of thinking now that argues that the concept of EQ is all complete nonsense anyway; it's a myth, a coporate marketing fabrication that captured popular interst for some reason.
Can you remember the last Republican president that the Lefties [b]didnt[/b] call stupid?
Haters gonna hate!
😀
is putin a leftie now?
This is actually really worth a watch, it's a very precise analysis of what intelligence actually is and what it is not.
sounds like beaker. I'm out.

You don't want to listen to a tenured professor of clinical psychology because you don't like his voice? Well I guess there are stranger things in the world.
I think he's more Kermit really.
ninfans video has me sobbing like baby & and a patriotic semi- and im not even american!
it almost makes up for that time he said nazis were 'fine people'
Can you remember the last Republican president that the Lefties didnt call stupid?
George Bush Senior
What do i win?
Presumably no transgender troops or troops suffering from bone spurs in that video.
Putin is doing very well out the current situation, basically doing what he wants, destabilising the west and looking like the voice of reason in comparison to Trump. Win win. Shame he is a force for evil.
I think he's more Kermit really.
He does have a very distinct accent and yes, there is a hint of Kermit in there! 😀
is Putin a leftie now?
Good question, how could I ever accuse a former member of the Communist Party and employee of the KGB of being on the left of the political spectrum?
I wouldn't accuse that particular "former employee of the KGB" of anything. I like breathing and wish to continue breathing for quite some time.
They're all pscoypaths.
he is not only smarter he is nicer
Sadly I think this may be true. Could you imagine Trump running Russia?
"former employee of the KGB
Yes, and director of the FSB.
For a year, until being appointed one of three First Deputy Prime Ministers, and later the same day was appointed acting Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation.
He's 100% political animal, and knows in exacting detail how to use people to achieve his ends.
"Putin is very smart and very dangerous. As alluded to by Binners he almost certainly had a key role in getting Trump elected"
...and then there is the thorny question of just how North Korea managed to move on their nuclear program from a joke to credible inside a decade.
Putin thrives on destabilisation and has played a weak hand to perfection.
