    “I did something no other president’s ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that and by the way, not easy,” Trump said in his Friday speech that was reportedly meant to focus on the economy.

    “The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.

    “I don’t think Joe would have gotten the first question right,” Trump said. “He would say hippo. ‘I want the hippo,’” the president continued, as his insults against his predecessor drew some laughs from the crowd.

    “I’ve taken now three cognitive tests. I’ve aced every single one of them,” Trump claimed, pausing as the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

    Edit: It gets way worse than this. 44:39 he starts talking about people thinking he’s dead and then leads into this stuff. It lasts for many minutes and he goes into excruciating detail. https://youtu.be/77TqXo0KLrY?t=2679

      If the test are hard then you got issues. The test aren’t supposed to be hard. And if you keep having to take them then again means your not mentally stable.

        Realistically, what would happen if this was the result the doctors agreed on? I don’t believe they would replace him as long as he still has a pulse.

            I would very much prefer him to go to prison but I’ll take him dying. Which part of today can we schedule it in for? Now is good, is now ok?

      He says the test isn’t easy and then talks about a basic animal identification question as an example? Trump’s brain is jello.

      How do people listen to this and go, “Yep, he’s great!”

      I just don’t understand it. I know, cult, but… Wow.

      I’ve taken now three cognitive tests

      The final question of the test, written on he back of the paper, is “Don’t go on TV and tell everyone you aced a simple cognitive test”. That’s why he has to keep on taking them.
