At a New Hampshire campaign rally, Donald Trump claimed to have “aced” a recent cognitive test and struggled to pronounce the word “climate,” footage from the event shows.
“I don’t know if you saw, but a few months ago, I took a cognitive test my doctor gave me,” Mr Trump told supporters at the Saturday event.
His comments came just after former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley questioned whether the former president was mentally capable of taking office again after he appeared to repeatedly confuse her with former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a campaign speech on Friday.

Dr Jonathan Reiner, a medical analyst for CNN and professor of medicine and surgery at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, called into question why Mr Trump would need multiple cognitive tests, considering he also took a cognitive test while serving as president.

Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV.
We’ve been here before. Of course he forgot.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At a New Hampshire campaign rally, Donald Trump claimed to have “aced” a recent cognitive test and struggled to pronounce the word “climate,” footage from the event shows.
“I don’t know if you saw, but a few months ago, I took a cognitive test my doctor gave me,” Mr Trump told supporters at the Saturday event.

Dr Jonathan Reiner, a medical analyst for CNN and professor of medicine and surgery at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, called into question why Mr Trump would need multiple cognitive tests, considering he also took a cognitive test while serving as president.
In their post on cognitive testing, the Cleveland Clinic also states, “a good score doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no brain impairment.”
Slip-ups like these could continue to undercut the 77-year-old former President’s argument that Mr Biden — just four years his senior — is cognitively unfit for office.

I’m going to say the same thing I always say about Trump: we don’t need anyone to prove anything when we can see the things right in front of our eyes. I watched him crime. I watched him collude. I watched him lie. I heard him admit sexual assault with his own lips. The facts are in front of our eyes. They don’t require proof, they are the factual evidence by which to prove other things. Fuck’s sake the world is so upside down these days.
The Party has told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It is their final, most essential command.
I remember hearing him say “oranges” instead of “origins”, realising he said the wrong thing and then repeating “oranges” again.
In his mind, he is never wrong, it is not possible. Just more proof that he is dumber than a sack of toenails.
His idiocy and metal decline have been on full display for almost a decade now. And yet this person has a real shot at winning the presidency again. That is one fucked up political system they have there in the US of A.
It’s pretty common with dementia that older memories are recalled more strongly and as if they happened more recently than they actually did.
Who brags about taking a cognitive test? Does he think that’s like an IQ test that proves how smart he is? People are given cognitive tests when there’s reason to suspect problems with a person’s mental functioning.
He’s convincing his followers that have also required cognitive tests that it’s a good thing. A great thing, even. And they’ll vote accordingly since they can’t really pay enough attention to the rest.
That’s exactly what he thinks. He also just thinks he’s extremely smart in general.
