If I were to guess where Trump scores on a standard IQ test I'd estimate about 120 or so. Not a genius but not stupid, however that doesn't count for much when the question of intelligence is considered. There are things for which no quantifiable standards exist.
Consider that the man is the President. He beat Hillary and his supporters and the majority of Dem leaning here consider them stupid on a good day (but they still lost). Note Bush was "shrub" and Edwards was going to wipe the floor with Cheney. Nope.
The mistake was underestimating and misunderstanding the opposition and instead of close inspection and considered thought, a predetermined framework based on *what should be* was substituted for "what is". Hubris won the day in favor of Trump. His competence in office isn't really the same as his ability to manipulate.
Now as to an analysis of Trump outside of that? How long a TL;DR are you asking for? Nothing is simple.
The slaying of 20-year-old Mia Ayliffe-Chung and fellow Briton Tom Jackson was on a list of 78 attacks the White House says were "executed or inspired by" the Islamic State terror group — and under-reported by the media.
Rosie Ayliffe says the possibility that the two Britons died last year in a terror incident was discounted early in the investigation.
In an unsurprising development stories are coming out from families angry that Trump and his admin are using the deaths of their family members by putting them on their list of "under reported terror attacks" because they had nothing to do with terrorism.

Agreed on most points, though I would say that him getting voted in was equal measure of his 'personality', said hubris from his opponent(s), and some sort of general apathy/disgruntlement that has fallen over much of the American voting populace. He couldn't get elected without having the personality of a steamroller, his opponents couldn't have lost if it wasn't for them underestimating him (and his voters), and the voters couldn't vote for him if they weren't basically fed up with the state of affairs... roughly akin to voting for a burning can of gasoline.
Having said all of the above, I find a hard time believing how much of this behavior is sanctioned/approved/thought up by his advisers. Either I'm underestimating the flexibility of the WH staff/presidential committee (to an extreme degree), or he's either a) intentionally going off the reservation, or b) not at the controls, letting his train of thought go where it may, in whatever way it may.
Orrr maybe I'm being yet another person underestimating him, getting snowed by the mass media distraction that we're witnessing. I'm perfectly willing to consider that option.
The problem with Trump is that he's not internally consistent, well one of his problems. He wants to be THE leader but he doesn't seem to appreciate that he's being managed by people like Bannon. The result is an administrative which lacks cohesiveness and less than a bull-in-the-china shop approach to anything.
Compounding all this is rumor being spread of uncertain merit. Bannon again and the circumstances on which he came to be in the security meetings. It's all fun to say these people are stupid but that's not quite right. They aren't stupid. The real concern is the larger topic of ethics and sense. If one is a smart or stupid fool they are still fools and those present a real and present danger when they have real power.
Don't underestimate the enemy.
I think the term 'stupid' has been getting used incorrectly. I'm sure they're all 'smart', as in, not idiots. They can be absolute fools though, ignorant, bull-headed, short-sighted fools.
William Shakespeare?
Seriously, on this day, Feb 6th, 2017 : Who is the president of the United States?
He said it’s also happening “all over Europe” like in Paris and Nice.
“It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. In many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons and you understand that,” Mr. Trump said.
We have long accused Europe of not reporting on who commits acts of violence, often describing them as "youths".

Trump may be a terrible communicator, but you could at least apply some thought of your own and understand where he's coming from. It's not a mystery for anyone familiar with right-wing conversation.
He's smart enough not to run?Ok
MongGrel I'm going to ask you now: Who is the president of the United States of America as of 2/7/2017? Before you even answer I am going to interject: If you're so damn good, why isn't it you?
Ok

This stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum, don't forget he has a team of advisors. I'm not bold enough to presume I know which (if any) actions are "rogue" actions and which ones have been planned in advance.
Dzhokhar wasn't that a name from Game of Thrones?
Here are the solid facts about US media coverage of Islamic terrorist incidents:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/opini...vering-terrorism-is-baloney-bergen/index.html
Of the 74 incidents listed by the White House, there are over 80,000 total articles which come up on a Nexus search. Only 3 of the incidents were unreported. All three occurred in foreign countries AND involved no casualties.
We can argue our opinions here, but facts are facts. Trump is a liar. Again.
don't forget kiddies, he's got the codes to the nukes.
Sleep well!
Well, there's your problem...you're trying to use facts. Silly rabbit...facts don't count, only feelings.

Want to take me up on my challenge with the list they put out?
Actually a lot of it is to not hinder ongoing investigations. Secrecy in general is a good thing when it comes to investigations, contrary to whatever FBI director Comey will tell you.We have long accused Europe of not reporting on who commits acts of violence, often describing them as "youths".
