One example of fallacious reasoning is the comment that "This is why despite his IQ, Donald Trump got elected as the president of US.". In context it can be taken as a claim that Trump has an IQ below 120 but that his exceptional persuasion abilities more than compensate.
This whole section is filled with fallacious reasoning but I'll just point out that Trump's IQ has been the topic of much debate but there is no reliable source for what it actually is. Any vaguely impartial attempt to estimate it however has to conclude that it is significantly above average, e.g. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41573846 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41573846
Unless you have special access to Trump's IQ test results (I'm sure the media would love you to share) this comment doesn't support your line of reasoning and probably undermines it.
