Because nothing implies normal cognition like repeating how many times he’s passed the tests. So now cognitive tests along with a ballroom are needed to safeguard the country. Got it.

Republicans in Congress, Stephen Miller, Thiel and the rest of the pay-to-play Nazis sure have seized upon these unprecedented and outrageous moments as if they’ve been given a gift…and maybe the gift was really the plan all along because while we continue to focus on the utter this cunt’s stupidity and narcissism, the people who put him there are busy stripping us of our democracy and freedoms. He gets to rob us blind and post childish shit on social media for his ego while Congress deliberately pretends normalcy which creates chaos…and that’s the point. Because while we’re chasing that chaos and trying to put out fires, there’s a bunch of goebbels in the basement doing the real work. I have absolutely zero fucks to give about that fat shitstain. He’s a petty pawn and Congress can, at any time, get rid of him. But demented or senile or not, he’s still serving someone’s purpose. JMO.

Trump’s bragging about “acing” a dementia test should just be added to the evidence that he’s demented…

I think your headline uses the wrong verb. He’s not admitting anything—he’s bragging.

Not sure he is taking any cognitive tests as this deranged convict corrupt fascist is just telling stories and bullshit all the time! Fake news?

I suspect that he said three, referencing his 2020 “victory.” Given all his rhetoric, he would in all likelihood perceive that that was his stolen term. But indeed, the perception has now moved to fact in his addled mind. Just a thought. 🇨🇦

I believe you have hit the dementia nail on the head with the cognitive hammer. That is indeed the typical reason for doing such tests (as well as the more extensive and stressing full neuropsych tests that he (and to be fair, maybe all Presidents) should be taking all along. The first one is to establish a baseline. After that, they're looking for, well, "changes" from that baseline. And not usually good ones.

Let’s face the fact for once that no one in or near to the Great Trough of Power is going to have the moral strength to withstand the Trump Reprisal; too many in Power or even close to Power, having no hands clean enough to point fingers at our mad policy maker…for fear that the “golden calf” has many many dirty little fingers with which to point back.

Somebody should be obliged to tell someone SOMETHING! I don’t understand why no one is talking.
