He’s been talking about these tests for years now. This means he either gets them regularly, or got it once and keeps thinking he just took the test last week. Neither scenario gives me confidence in his mental ability.
No, he just thinks it tells people how smart he is and therefore the best to be president. He doesn’t understand what a cognitive test is or for.
He’s gaslighting us and a considerable portion of us is choosing to believe it.
My grandmother with Alzheimer’s passed those clinical tests long after she had already asked us to take away her keys because she knew she wasn’t safe to drive anymore. So yeah…
So what you’re saying is, he’s a stable genius who’s more than qualified, and extremely fit to be the president of the United States?
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
omg we’re so fucked. Even if he doesn’t get elected, the fact that people are encouraging this guy to be president is an expression of ourselves. We’re sick, and unless the healthy people make an indomitable stand against this cancer, we’re all fucked. I am truly scared for us all because the disease is taking control.
This has to be out of context bullshit. Someone running for president again can’t be that dense.
“The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” Trump preened in the interview. “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ So they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that.’ So I said, ‘Yeah. So it’s person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’”
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING STUPID THIS MAN IS?
Yeah, are we all stuck in some endless emperor’s new clothes shit.
Can anyone honestly argue that this guy isn’t either (a) super fucking dumb, (b) partially mentally deteriorated, or © both?
Maybe not. Maybe he’s an evil genius. He could possibly be the present…again…
Watching American politics makes me question my grasp of reality.
Your grasp of reality is fine but I would guess you haven’t been in any religious circles for a while.
People still wrapped up in religion don’t realize their values are hardly shared through all of society and are taught anyone outside of the circle are a breed apart. They are going to hell. Some evangelicals get misguided into thinking they can ‘save’ the heathens and that’s where we get anti-abortion shit but that’s not really what Christianity teaches.
The problems is there is just too many of them. You have all these people with these conflicting values saying they are inherently different than the non-believer so we can’t ever come together.
The “hilarious” part of that exchange was it’s a memory test, so they give you a series of unrelated words (velvet, cracker, sleet, grandfather, doorway). Not only was the best example that his stupid stupid brain could come up with all related words, they were all (except maybe tv) things he could see at the time!
You can’t ‘ace’ a cognitive test any more than you can ‘ace’ reading an eye chart. It’s a diagnostic test. And from the sounds of things, he needs to take it again.
To be fair, a whale can easily be confused with a bowl of petunias.
