Trump won’t shut up about the test he “aced,” the one in which you have to point to an elephant!!

He is still today, talking about taking that fcking test. He won’t release why he took the test, he won’t release medical records of any kind (nor tax records, nor presidential records pertaining to discussions about the Ukraine, nor anything important), but he won’t shut up about the damned cognitive test and he is still today insisting that parts of that test are very difficult! (Video below)

It is a damned cognitive exam! It is – as Stephen Colbert so brilliantly put it – the type of test used to determine whether you can ride the bus alone. It is easy for a reason! It helps physicians who are hurrying to determine whether the patient they are examining has a cognitive defect that needs further examination. If the patient passes with flying colors, as any cognitive nine year old could, then the physician knows that a more thorough exam will be needed (talking to family, scans, more extensive and subtle testing) to determine whether a cause could be determined, medicine interactions, tumors, general aging, all those things that can cause the elderly (generally) difficulty in navigating the day.

Trump apparently didn’t get the message from his staff to “Shut the F-Up about the damned test!” Or he DID get the message and FORGOT!! Because yet again today, he was bragging about how well he did, and again talking about how part of it was very hard. He then talked about how Biden needs to take the test because a president needs to be sharp, and there are bad people out there seeking to do harm to the U.S. (we assume he means protesters spray painting federal buildings, not Russians putting bounties upon U.S. soldiers’ heads).

We believe Biden should do the test on live TV and then turn to the camera and ask Trump to explain which part was hard? The test is HERE: My 12-year-old just go 29 out of 30, forgetting one word at the end. She is 12, not president.

Now to be very serious for a moment.

In the interview, Trump says that “all the talk about 25th Amendment and his incompetence,” it all stopped when he aced the test. Is he telling us something a bit more profound? Is Trump telling us that he had a very serious incident when he went to Walter Reed, that there might have been talk of temporarily invoking the 25th Amendment (among the doctors and/or Vice President) but upon completing the test the doctors’ talk and the VP talk all went away? We can’t be sure. But under no circumstances did “the talk go away among Democrats or the media” when he talked about acing the test. If anything, it increased because it’s not something one brags about.
