He plays a lot of golf. Maybe he thinks a low score is better?

"They have these terribly difficult questions like continue a sequence: 1, a, 2, b, 3, c... I'm such a genius I managed to solve 1/4 of it when most don't even take the test!"

Actually it is a good idea to have some health/intelligence requirements for governmental roles.

Except IQ is a racist pseudoscience.

IQ is highly biased towards western societies, but I'd argue that you could expect a president to get a 30 minute briefing and summarise it afterwards, for example?

IQ isn't biased towards western societies.

Individual IQ tests are biased towards the culture of the person who made the test, and the actual tests are also biased towards the tester's biases.

If those biases are racial, the bias is racial. The original test maker was trying to identify students who needed extra help, btw, and the concept itself isn't racial or pseudoscience, but the popular implementation is.

The test is a test, and people think too much of it and try to use it in a way they shouldn't, like it's a magic "you're this smart for life" number which it simply isn't and wasn't meant to be.

Again!? Didn't he already do this during his last term? Or did he forget the whole "person, woman, man, camera, TV" bit? I guess if he has dementia it makes sense that he forgot now that I say it out loud.
