Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

      Half are dumber than the median, not the average (although they’re probably close)

        There are different types of average, median being one of them. What you are thinking of as the average, is probably the mean. Median, mean and mode are all types of average.

      Trump has made a great litmus test for shitty humans. They even wear hats so we don’t have to waste our time trying to find out their beliefs through dialogue.

      I feel like there’s gotta be some really smart outliers skewing that average

      Half of all people are dumber than the median. I am assuming the mean is actually higher than the median so chances are way more than half of all people are dumber than what people normally think of when they think average.

      I mean, I know this is probably a joke but you’re not wrong. There’s only one average person, everyone else is either above or below the metric.
