    I want to know if the MRI was ordered before or after the “very hard” cognitive test…my grandfather’s dementia was diagnosed as due to multiple infarctions and he lived a long time in memory care. Get the 25th ready

      Why would they?

      His base worships him. And miller et al already do whatever the hell they want. Just drag trump out to drool on camera and show proof of life a few times a month and then run the country themselves.

      The fact that such legal measures aren’t used on so many of our representatives when they show obvious decline (or incompetence) shows that others behind the scene are gaining from keeping them in place as long as possible. This isn’t a way to run a government.

    No one’s ever got perfect, he said. He dares everyone that disagrees with him on policy to go up against his score.

    Sounds like he’s surrounded by sycophants telling him how smart he is.

      He’s too stupid to realize that going on and on about how difficult the test was that he aced does not make him look smart. He’s too stupid to realize other people know what’s on that test and just how straightforward it is. He’s too stupid to understand that it’s not an intelligence test. He’s too stupid.

        So stupid…and yet, he got re elected, has the whole government living in fear and is stealing billions in corruption, without any consequences. Sure, he’s stupid, and 78 million people who voted for him are geniuses.

        Assuming human intelligence naturally follows a normal distribution model plus add in confounding factors like: malnutrition, chemicals, abuse, etc. that are known to degrade human reasoning. Reasoning is further restricted by limiting access to education and extensive false propaganda. These factors flattens and shift the distribution curve to the left.

        The millions of people who voted for him are morons what are easily manipulated by their ignorance and fear.

        This has always been the Achilles heal of a democratic systems.
