I find it so surreal that he can't even shut the fuck up about the fact that he gets dementia tested on the regular, which happens to be a symptom of dementia

    It's not surreal, it's hilarious. Or, it would be if we didn't have a senile old coot running the country, with the help of a simpering staff that kisses his ass every second and tells him he is the smartest human to have ever lived.

    No /s, it's actually TRUE.

    P.S. That's actually 2 senile old coots in a row, 3 terms of dementia. Who's next? Who's the oldest person in America?

    Biden didn't have Dementia, but it was visible that he gave the last years he had in him before cognitive decline really set in for his country. They should never have tried to let him run again.

    My Dad had dementia, and he went through that stage, and while he was pretty good most of the time, we couldn't let him drive the car. Biden looked and acted exactly like that. He was definitely on the path.

    I agree on that - with the important difference that Biden actually seemed to care about the opinion of his staff and knew he could depend on their judgement. Trump trusts noone except his very own NPD. Even if Biden served until his death, it would have been better for the country.

    Let's just have a new system where the oldest person in America is always president. I bet there are some over 100 who would do a better job than Trump

    "You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"

    If Donald Trump is the smartest person in the room, there's no one else in the room.

    I’m in a rehab hospital for alcoholism. Im the smartest patient here! Also it just opened and I’m the first patient here. First and best. You won’t see them print that in the papers tho. Terrible people.

    No one has ever completed the program here. I’ll be the first to ever do that. First in the world. They don’t hand out medals for that, maybe they should I don’t know. But they don’t so. If they offered me one I’d take it but they don’t do that here. So what are you going to do. But I would take it I think, yeah. I definitely earned it. But maybe we should look into that

    Now ask yourself did I ramble because I’m struggling with withdrawals and not thinking clearly, or was I imitating trump?

    That’s exactly the problem. It’s hard to tell. It should be easy to tell which. If you don’t know which… that’s kinda bad right?

    He has never in his life been the smartest person in the room. His brand of narcissism and shamelessness are somehow a cheat code when dealing with normal human beings. He's like a glitch in the matrix. But in no way is he the smartest in the room.

    When are reporters going to point out that the test isn't meant to be considered hard..

    Also, they need to start pushing for more information on the bruising of his hand, and WHY they keep testing him

    I wish reporters would relentlessly ask him basic questions he should know like about the constitution and how the government works. Ask him to define fascism, democracy, fraud, consent. Ask him what narcissism is, and since he claims to be Christian, ask him what Jesus taught.

    Imagine the word salad that would follow any one of these questions.

    He's banned any journalist or news network that would actually potentially ask these questions because he can't handle being called out for anything and his response to anything but ego stroking questions is to verbally attack the asker then ban them

    Would be better to just throw the clown in jail where he belongs. Will go down in history as the biggest traitor against the American people to ever have been in office.

    Without a doubt the most prolific traitor in American history. But Americans are too stupid to acknowledge that in meaningful numbers now. It'll just be something generally acknowledged in retrospect in the future, which doesn't do us any good.

    We've all been thoroughly conditioned to be confident in the system. Most Democrat voters I know in real life honestly think that in 2028 we'll vote in a Democrat who will fix everything and everything will go back to "normal."

    They refuse to see this as being any different than any other embarrassing 4 years of republican presidency. They think all our allies will just write this off and resume trade and military relations, all the environmental and scientific groups will welcome us back with open arms, and we'll all think back on these years and laugh.

    To admit otherwise would mean there's more to do than just vote for that same color you've always voted for, and that would be a real hassle.

    This one strikes me as tricky even in theory.

    Sure, in theory the democrats have a majority in the house, but they likely won't even have a simple majority in the senate, and if they are anything short of 2/3rds majority in the senate, it's largely moot. They can't pass anything Trump doesn't want and they can't remove Trump from office. Yeah, they are supposed to have leverage to deny legislation, but this administration has proven itself quite happy to unilaterally act..

    It's not meant to be logical, it's meant to be an easy out that they can convince themselves will happen so that they don't have to do anything more challenging than voting every 4 years.

    Low energy AF. I heard the audio of him talking about that test and he sounded very tired... and like he was having a bit of trouble getting through the explanation. Probably just wishful thinking that he's running out of steam, but he's so full of hot air it's hard to tell, lol

    And he hired a Defense Secretary who doesn't wash his hands because he doesn't believe in germs because he can't see them, and a Health Secretary that literally eats roadkill that has given him brain parasites.

    These people have Medieval educations. It's like they're living in the 12th century.

    At this point I think it's undeniably obvious that this country is failing and incapable of upholding the law and holding criminals accountable.

    I wouldn't expect anything other than continued collapse. Americans would have to be significantly more intelligent than they are to expect more.

    Someone should get a ten year old to do one of those tests and record it.

    I took one after having brain surgery a couple years ago. Was funny to me for a couple reasons:

    • I was given 5 words, then after talking to the nurse for a few minutes I had to repeat all 5 words from memory. I told her that I wouldn’t have done well on that pre-surgery. 😅
    • When I got the “what animal is this” test and told the nurse that I couldn’t remember if a camel or a dromedary has two humps the nurse basically said “I think we’re good here”

    My spouse was naturally less amused than me due to the conditions which necessitated the test.

    they gave my dad those tests before and after major brain surgery to determine if he was the same him before and after (note: the wizards at UCSF succeeded). they aren't "hard" per se, they're a diagnostic. they watch you take the test.

    That's sounds tough, I'm not sure I could pass it. I mean, I know what all those animals.are, even a squirrel, but in a test situation, the pressure on? I'm not sure I could identify them all.

    And three times? I definitely couldn't pull it off three times. Four animals? Not possible. Three, maybe, but four? C'mon, I'm only human.

    Probably the same type of test, just a different occasion so there would be different objects to remember.

    As someone else here mentioned, regular testing like this is usually a sign of oncoming dementia.

    Yeah, it’s going to get a lot worse. Only a question of whether they’re going to be able to keep pumping him with enough drugs to keep him at the current level of coherence or not.

    Either way, I’m worried that he’s going to likely get away with all of it. Either he’s going to die in office, or once he leaves the White House and stops whatever drug cocktail he’s currently on - he’ll rapidly descend into full-blown dementia and be deemed too senile to stand trial.

    Probably the same type of test

    i was hoping for some facts, not "probably". i mean was he blabbing about it again recently, or what prompted this tweet that does not have single fact in it (other than the photo of a trump)?


    edit: ok, so the answer is, he was blabbing about it again.

    It’s a standard test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The point is to administer the same test at intervals to measure cognitive decline.

    I have no idea what the last question is, but I would think it might be that they were given a phrase, or a group of words to remember at the beginning, and the last question might be to recall what that phrase or group of words was. I'd imagine that was pretty hard for him.
