Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

He's too stupid to realize that going on and on about how difficult the test was that he aced does not make him look smart. He's too stupid to realize other people know what's on that test and just how straightforward it is. He's too stupid to understand that it's not an intelligence test. He's too stupid.
Now do his supporters!!!
I could completely believe passing this test is impressive to his supporters and that most of them would fail it.
You know there was a whole game show about this.
So stupid....and yet, he got re elected, has the whole government living in fear and is stealing billions in corruption, without any consequences. Sure, he's stupid, and 78 million people who voted for him are geniuses.
Don't forget old...
Has little to do with being old. Bernie Sanders is old but he is sharp. The orange dolt never even approached average except in being a shit-head - he honed this skill.
Sure, if he's the moron, then what do you call the millions who voted for him?
America has an education problem and it's been getting worse for decades, especially in the South and rural areas.
Yeah, but it's ok. The states will handle it as soon as the department of education is shut down.
As long as the states follow the Republican Christian doctrine
Assuming human intelligence naturally follows a normal distribution model plus add in confounding factors like: malnutrition, chemicals, abuse, etc. that are known to degrade human reasoning. Reasoning is further restricted by limiting access to education and extensive false propaganda. These factors flattens and shift the distribution curve to the left.
The millions of people who voted for him are morons what are easily manipulated by their ignorance and fear.
This has always been the Achilles heal of a democratic systems.
No "maybe" about it.

I want to know if the MRI was ordered before or after the "very hard" cognitive test..my grandfather's dementia was diagnosed as due to multiple infarctions and he lived a long time in memory care. Get the 25th ready
The fact that such legal measures aren't used on so many of our representatives when they show obvious decline (or incompetence) shows that others behind the scene are gaining from keeping them in place as long as possible. This isn't a way to run a government.
It sure is a way to cling to power.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Feinstein.
Why would they?
His base worships him. And miller et al already do whatever the hell they want. Just drag trump out to drool on camera and show proof of life a few times a month and then run the country themselves.
Make him smell peanut butter.
Seems there were issues replicating the study.
Like 99% of Alzheimer's research.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV
The best thing about that is that he wasn’t even remembering the words from the test, he was naming things he could see
Phone. Pillow. Darkness. Maybe monsters.
you def beat me to it, but I love the last bit too much sry
No one's ever got perfect, he said. He dares everyone that disagrees with him on policy to go up against his score.
Sounds like he's surrounded by sycophants telling him how smart he is.
Dementia test is hard - Trump
He truly is one of the dumbest people I've ever witnessed.
Yeah, this is definitely funny. But these aren’t the headlines that really get me feeling good. What really gets my going are the headlines that say a judge blocked another selfish, unconstitutional order, or when a MAGA supporter or member of the Republican Party in Congress realizes the greed is out of control and starts to buck back, when an institution or organization decides to push back against the bullshit and say no — I like those headlines the best. (can’t recall if we’ve truly seen that last one actually).
Because the reality is that Trump isn’t dumb. He’s a lying, cheating, asshole. Has been his whole life, every New Yorker knows that. And what he does know is that if he lies or cheats, and nobody does anything about it, he gets away with it, each time getting easier.
Mmm, intelligence is a broad, multifaceted descriptor that as defined rarely describes the full tapestry of a person's skills. I can still very safely say that in most cases though, Trump is an absolute dumbfuck. He just happens to be smart when it comes to convincing other dumbfucks of his dumb shit.
He knows the Church of the Subgenius mantra quite well - "Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal" - J.R. "Bob" Dobbs

He loves the uneducated. They are as stupid as he is.
and the US school tests are the simplest in the world...
Can he read the phrase "go to jail"
He can read it just fine - the problem there is our impotent legal system.
Didn't Donbald say it gets super-hard when the questions get up to 20 or 25 or something?
If we are talking about MoCA, there are only 11 questions on the versions I've seen. What is he even talking about when he challenges AOC and Jasmine Crocket to take the test? It's not a test to prove how smart you are, but he's there talking about how "low IQ" they are and how tough this cognitive exam is. It's not even close to the flex he thinks it is.
Someone needs to take the keys away from Grandpa....
The MOCA is scored up to 30 points with 26 being a 'normal' score. My assumption is he's talking about achieving that score is difficult, not getting that many questions correct.
Source : Someone else posted the test in this thread and it's at the top in the scoring instructions

Didn’t he do that in his first term as well?
Again‽
Person, woman, man, camera, TV...if you get it all right, you get an extra point
🤣
