This is another one of those clips that, granting arguendo that we survive another millenium, people will be watching and asking, “How did a moron like that ever get elected?” I guess it’s because the idea of a woman, especially a Black woman, is so horrific that this unspeakable sack of shit was/is considered The Devil We Know. What is beyond comical here is that Trump really thinks he is doing some cognitive cartwheels, some psychological pyrotechnics by passing a freaking dementia screening. The only purpose of a dementia screening is to see if you’re still lucid or if you’ve slipped behind the curtain into the vegetative. But not to Trump. He thinks passing the test with the animal pictures puts him up there with Dr. Einstein.
Trump: They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams like I did when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple of questions are easy, a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe

I would love to be a fly on the wall of the House cloakroom when AOC runs into Crockett just in the course of the day and they howl and scream about what a loser moron Trump is.
You want to know some of the questions on a dementia exam? “How often do you forget your keys or your phone?” And of course Trump will say, “Never” because he doesn’t drive himself and his phone is stewarded by an assistant all or most of the time. Another question is, “How often do you forget birthdates or anniversaries” and Trump will answer, “Never” to that because again, he’s got people that handle that for him.
Another question is, “Can you easily remember facts or knowledge you’ve learned over time?” and of course Trump will say, “Yes” because he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Most idiots don’t. If he was even of average intelligence himself he wouldn’t be labeling the very articulate and well spoken Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez as “low IQ.” That’s simply a slam on their gender and political views and man would that opinion do a hard 180 degree turn if those two women ever decided one morning that they wanted to join the MAGA cult. Trump wouldn’t be able to welcome them fast enough if they did a J.D. Vance and got into his camp.
And some of the visuals on the cognitive test are so basic a small child could pass the exam. The one I took gave a minute or so to “memorize the two pictures.” Then it would ask whether the pic on the left or the right had the elephant. Since the elephant was a gigantic image on the left, and there were only four animals in total, it would have been hard to miss it.
But Trump is BRAGGING about his ability to temporaily remember a drawing of an animal! Yes! He thinks this is a sign of a stunning (not to mention cunning) mentality, rarely matched and only then by few!
Then of course they give a simple sequence of numbers (four numbers, again, something only a simian moron could fail to memorize) and a sequence of words (in my case it was Chair, Lamp, Apple, Tv, Banana, which takes us into the realm of the famous Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV phrase of legend and lore.
And yes, I’m going to replay Stephen Colbert’s mockery of Trump’s first cognitive test. I imagine he thinks that the numbers would throw AOC and Crockett for a loop. After all, it’s not like those women have ever memorized a phone number in their lives, right? And would that include an area code, or that would make it way too far beyond the cognitive pale?
JFC. What an abject moron we have in the Oval Office.
And this would be hilarious if it was a spoof. But this is spot on real. You cannot make this shit up. We really look this stupid to the world. Remember the old Robert Burns expression, “Oh would someone the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us?” If for just one second in time, Trump could see himself the way the world sees him, that would be it. His synapses would all fry, smoke would shoot out his ears, and he would collapse. The shock of knowing you are the dumbest son of a bitch on an entire planet has got to be that bad.
