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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Watching McConnell fall because he can walk and talk at the same time is very depressing to me. Remember when ghouls would venture off and haunt a cave or abandoned graveyard?

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.

The best thing about that is that he wasn’t even remembering the words from the test, he was naming things he could see

Considering how said the test got very difficult after the first few questions, yeah, I'd say Americans are in trouble.

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.

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.

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

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

He continued, "Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don't think Jasmine– The first couple questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn't come close to answering any of those questions."

Indeed. But he used the word "questions", and so I don't know if in his addled brain he's confusing the score with the number of questions. I see 11 questions in the versions I could find.

Some Intrepid Reporter (TM) should ask him for an example of the type of questions you have at 10, 20, and 25.... :)

I'm the same way. I can't do math in my head. Never have been able. My brain just wasn't wired that way.

I'm sure he has a serious condition and (if it was anyone else) I would say that should never be taken lightly.

But... They need to put him on stage with AOC and Crockett. Give the reps a college entrance exam and Trump a grade school one. See who scores better. He wants to keep calling them out, he needs to follow through.
