    Its entirely possible (in fact likely) that he actually believes that because that’s what he’s being told, while his enablers are getting completely different conversations from the doctors.

    I’m pretty sure that every single person around him knows full well how cooked his brain is (and has been for at least a decade). They have to wait until Jan 21, 2027 to dump him, though. If he’s replaced more than halfway through his term, Vance is still eligible to run twice more; before that and it’s only once.

    Not that VP Couchfucker would win a single free election, let alone two, but fair elections aren’t part of the plan. Then they don’t have to worry about subverting the two-term limit until the 2036 cycle.

      Here is me reminding you that the EXACT same thing was said about trump. What single idiot would even vote for that? Right?

      And here we are. TWICE.

    “I did something no other president’s ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that and by the way, not easy,” Trump said in his Friday speech that was reportedly meant to focus on the economy.

    “The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.

    “I don’t think Joe would have gotten the first question right,” Trump said. “He would say hippo. ‘I want the hippo,’” the president continued, as his insults against his predecessor drew some laughs from the crowd.

    “I’ve taken now three cognitive tests. I’ve aced every single one of them,” Trump claimed, pausing as the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

    Edit: It gets way worse than this. 44:39 he starts talking about people thinking he’s dead and then leads into this stuff. It lasts for many minutes and he goes into excruciating detail. https://youtu.be/77TqXo0KLrY?t=2679

      If the test are hard then you got issues. The test aren’t supposed to be hard. And if you keep having to take them then again means your not mentally stable.

      He says the test isn’t easy and then talks about a basic animal identification question as an example? Trump’s brain is jello.

      How do people listen to this and go, “Yep, he’s great!”

      I just don’t understand it. I know, cult, but… Wow.

      I’ve taken now three cognitive tests

      The final question of the test, written on he back of the paper, is “Don’t go on TV and tell everyone you aced a simple cognitive test”. That’s why he has to keep on taking them.

    I’ve seen this exact headline at least ten times over the past ten years or so
