    I think he means one of those “remember the word sequence” tests like: felon cannon aim sun fire

      True. I know you HAVE TO be over the age of 35 to be presideng. However, I’m not aware of any secondary rules where the ages of the nominiees of their respective parties somehow translates to being a high score.

      That being said, knowing the name of your doctor ALSO isn’t in any way relevant. The assumption here is that trump can’t remember his doctors name because his memory is failing.

      I could FULLY see it being the case that trump can’t remember his doctors name because the last time he saw them Reagan was in office. You’re all assuming that trump goes to the doctor regularly, and tries to stay healthy.

      I just don’t see that being the case. He doesn’t seem like a health minded individual. I mean before his presidency, he was best known among my generation for eating pizza hut pizza backwards. For the sole reason that the crust was stuffed with cheese, and he prefered that over the actual pizza slice.

      But sure. Maybe he goes to the doctor regularly. A person with knowledge he doesn’t have, in a field that takes decades to learn, trying to tell trump how to live his life, because they know better than he does.

      Yeah. I’m sure he listens to that regularly…

    The challenge makes sense coming from Trump. He was super proud that he passed a cognitive test earlier, while everyone else was asking what prompted the test in the first place. No doubt he thinks he’s actually smart for having passed and thinks he could beat Biden.

      Cognitive is big word…so in trumps mind, it means he knows all the big words, and passes the big word test! Whats the biggest word Biden knows?

    Trump isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is still infinitely more cognizant than his opponent. Biden is mentally barely above a fucking vegetable at the worst of times and at his best a couple of gaffs is the new normal. This article just attempts to do “bothsidism” for Biden, now that nobody can no longer deny that the man is demented, so they try to make the case that so is Trump, just trying to level the playingfield narrative wise.
