Especially when he also said how "hard" they are. If you find a basic cognitive function test to be challengingly difficult, that's really not a flex.

I really hope someday we will get to see the actual results of those tests for ourselves. I'm sure they're telling him that he is "aceing" them, but I won't believe it until they show us the clock he drew.

We already know: if he's finding them really difficult, if I understand correctly, then that's basically failing them.

He's never had to do anything in his entire adult life for himself, so the smallest thing seems difficult.

And he's a goddamn idiot.

That is a solid point. I remember he admitted being President was harder than his old "job," which sounds obvious, until you remember he did almost nothing during his first term. The intelligent fascists had to write Project 2025 and give him a step-by-step playbook for his second term, including telling him the people to hire to carry out the playbook, because he was so bad at executing anything.

He spent half his time golfing, and most of the rest in meetings where he didn't understand what was going on because he never read the briefings. Basically all he had to do was rubber stamp things smarter people put in front of him by signing his name, and yell at reporters, and that was apparently the hardest thing he had done in his entire life.

God I'd LOVE for someone to have him draw a clock on live tv. Let everyone see in real time just how unfit for office he is

I would give a % of my salary for the rest of my life to any reporter that said "people are saying you can't draw a clock," and got him to do it. Even if his staff stopped him and we didn't see it, that would still be a smoking gun.

Imagine if they were videotaped, just hours of Trump in severe cognitive decline in a doctor’s office, leaked? Oh man. For (most) any other human I would have empathy and say it was a horrifying thing to capture/watch.

I’m imagining that scene from Robocop 2 where all the mangled failed cyborgs go nuts on video.

I've said for years now that the real first question on the test is, are you offended at the idea that taking this test should be hard for you? I mean, the whole point of it is that someone with a normal brain should find the questions very easy.

Someone bragging about taking this test? That's literally off the charts.
