Trump continues to brag about how he “passed” the cognitive test

Donald Trump has long criticized the accusation that Joe Biden is not so right in the head. During a speech on Friday, he even claimed that his presidential successor was in “cognitive decline,” while saying things like how he is doing. leading us to the “Second World War”. Three years ago Trump himself took a very easy cognitive test, simply intended to determine if he had a basic physical condition. And it’s probably a good sign that he’s still bragging about it.

In a clip from an interview Trump did with Meet the Press, set to air Sunday, former president and interviewer Kristen Welker talked about “the age question,” meaning whether it’s a good idea for the 80-year-old Biden. , or for Trump. , 77, will run for another four-year seat. Trump reiterated his belief that there should be a “competence test.” Then, for the umpteenth time, he mentioned the test he took before losing re-election three years ago.

“You know, I took a test two or three years ago,” he recalled. “And like the doctors said, and it was in front of the doctors and it was a big deal at Walter Reed [hospital], which is an incredible place. And I got over it. I understand everything well. I’m all for testing. “Frankly, I think testing would be a good thing.”

Of course, one does not succeed in these types of tests that, over the course of 10 minutes, simply measure the presence of mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.

Trump also did his usual vague thing about “a lot of people” saying things, stating about the test: “A lot of people say it’s not constitutional to do it. But I would be all for testing, testing to make sure everyone is okay. But a lot of people say that can’t happen because of the Constitution.”

In any case, none of the young men fighting for Trump’s place on the Republican Party ticket have come close to toppling the king. As for the Democrats, the closest they’ve come is to a guy who believes some really crazy things about vaccines.
