> While a leader with an engineering mindset works hard at finding at a better solution, other leaders use their personality, power or charm to persuade people that their solution will be in everyone’s benefits, even if it actually isn’t. This is why despite his IQ, Donald Trump got elected as the president of US.

I'm no Trump fan, but have to wonder why, in an article proposing an objective truth, I have to read the author's opinion of Donald Trump -- in this case regarding his IQ.

If the author can prove the lowness of Trump's IQ, I'd love to see the objective proof. Otherwise I would suggest the author stick with his main points and not involve his politics.

Moreover, it's sickening to me to read the veiled insult of the voters (the "even if it actually isn't" statement) who put Trump in office. Again, perhaps the author would consider sticking with his main thesis and avoid denigration of those with whom he clearly disagrees.
