I don’t think it’s committing the ad-hominem fallacy.
To commit ad-hominem, you have to reject or attack an idea based on some quality of the person presenting the idea. This article didn’t talk about Trump’s ideas. I think it’s what we’d call an “attack piece” or “hatchet job”.
You’re technically right. I’m a bit uncertain on this one however, since the article does bring up his ideas regardless whether they sound “obviously wrong” to you and the author or not. Two times the author mention Mr. Trump’s quotes on his IQ, intelligence, respectively, in such a way for a reader in its echo-chamber to think a certain way. Fake news!
