Trump has long held up IQ as the be-all, end-all measure of self-worth.

But when he’s claiming a critic is a “low-IQ person” or “individual,” it's usually a Black woman.

The president's mode of speech the markedly different way he speaks about Black versus white people reeks of racism, a linguist said.

When IQ tests were introduced in the 20th century , eugenicists and ethnocentrics latched onto them to argue that a person’s intelligence was influenced by their biology.

Today , critics of IQ tests have argued that the “cultural specificity” of intelligence makes the tests biased toward the environment they were developed in.
