Trump to keep suspense
Donald Trump, when asked if he would accept the result of the elections, hedged. He said he’d keep the American public and the world in suspense.
First time in more than 200 years of U.S. history that a presidential candidate wouldn’t commit to the tradition of honoring the democratic system.
In yesterday’s third and last presidential debate, Trump also added to his list of bad words for her rival Hillary Clinton: “That nasty woman.” Earlier, he has called her “crooked Hillary” and “evil woman” who “should be locked up in jail.”
And no, they didn’t shake hands before and after the debate.

Hillary, Donald IQs
Who has a higher IQ: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?
Many media articles place Trump’s IQ at 156 but critics says it’s based on false information, saying his IQ must be in the range of 120-130. Two-thirds of the population have 85-115 IQ. Even at 120-130 IQ, that makes Trump still brighter than most Americans.
But Hillary must be brighter with her IQ estimated at 140. She’s a Yale graduate, compared to Donald’s Penn University background. Like in Mar Roxas’s case, Trump’s school, Penn U, is distinguished from Wharton which sets higher standards.
