Is the smartest dog smarter than the dumbest human? Smartest cat? Smartest rat? It’s something I’ve been thinking about for several days.

    I’d trust a dog to lead me around safely more than any of those politicians. Dog knows not to cross the street when it’s unsafe. Trump probably assumes the traffic will stop for him.

    Or just compare the results of his cognitive tests to a dog’s.

      Of course. Because trust isn’t really related to intelligence. There is a lot of people I trust that are not the smartest fellows. But they are good, kind people.

      Trump probably assumes the traffic will stop for him.

      Sure … because it does. In fact, I think they lock down half the city when he goes along any street.

      So what is a dog’s response going to be whether to repair a street or not? Hire this person or that person? Build this or that building? Use this or that contractor?

      Of course Trump is going to choose the wrong thing. However, a dog is too dumb to even understand the choices or even that a choice is offered to them or even the context of being a leader.

      It’s entirely ridiculous to suggest a dog is smarter than even a dumb adult human like Trump. All you’re doing is just showing that your hatred is bigger than your sense of truth, i.e. you’re ready to bend the truth to hurt your enemies.
