I'd be surprised if he understood anything his doctor told him. Go watch him explain the Tylenol thing again.

    He doesn't even remember seeing the doctor, but people around him say he has so he must of. He doesn't know what the MRI scanned because he doesn't remember being in the MRI or what MRI even means.

    He's a senile old man being walked around Weekend at Bernie's style and anything he says is his own personal fan fiction based on what those around him tell him has happened recently.

    Sounds like they've been given the a-ok to release it. he he.

    “Governor Walz asked you to release the MRI records,” the reporter said.

    “If they want to release it, it’s OK with me to release it. It’s perfect. It’s like my phone call, where I got impeached. Absolutely perfect,” Mr Trump said.

    I don't know if seniors with dementia can legally give consent to release their medical records.

    Donald Trump not knowing things is perfectly normal.

    Normal as in common, not normal as in good or healthy.

    The mental faculty of the most powerful leader in the world? Yes, I believe so.

    I don't know if he's the most powerful leader in the world (after all, another leader tells him what to do) but he does sit on the most expensive military and one of the largest economies.

    I would argue that that would put him in the running for "most powerful". If for no other reason, he's very powerful since he can destroy a lot of the world if he wants to...

    he knows, he just isn’t saying.

    “It’s impossible for him not to know what the MRI was focused on. He can choose not to say. But it doesn’t pass the smell test to say he had no idea,” Mr Cillizza said.

    He has no memory of the MRI or even seeing the doctor. People around him talk about a thing that happened and he makes up a story about it because he has no idea what they are talking about.

    possibly… or he doesn’t want to tell the public about his health problems so he can seem stronger….
    he’s definitely fading mentally but i think he would remember an MRI machine… it’s not a simple process

    he doesn’t want to tell the public about his health problems so he can seem stronger

    So either he doesn't remember the MRI, or his actual condition is worse than people thinking he does not remember the MRI.

    The smell test is literally a test for dementia.

    that’s not what the quoted author was referring to when they wrote “smell test”

    If you saw the video it's obvious he knows. Immediately after getting the question, he insulted the reporter and left before they could ask more questions.

    They were looking for his brain, the trick is that they couldn't find the damn thing. Pesky little pink golf ball...
