Given that there are literally thousands of actors who have to memorize entire plays and then perform them eight times a week in front of audiences, remembering five simple words in a row is not the flex he believes it is.
'He had to memorize five words and say them in order, like “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”' It is not pointed out often enough that not one single word there was correct. Four of the five words were Face, Velvet, Church, Red, and forgive me for forgetting the fifth but I have not looked at that test since it was in the news three years ago. But Donald could not remember one single word, a day later.
'We can also throw some physical activity into it.' Let's see Donald ride a bike.
Notice how he only named five things in front of him at the time. He doesn't have enough imagination to say something like "banana" or "elephant" if he doesn't see one.
Back in the day, I sat for comprehensive oral and written exams for my MA in German literature. Having passed that (you can't really ACE IT) as well as some years prior having taken and passed the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB), I would say I felt a certain amount of pride.
I am proud of both those things, but it would never occur to me to brag for years afterwards about having passed a syphilis screening, despite my fondness for Nietzsche.
Like one of those Japanese game shows where people jump from one big paddle onto another one and then have to catch a rope while wearing a sumo wrestler inflatable costume!
Did you notice that "person, woman, man, camera, TV" were all just things in front of him at the time he was talking? When he was describing the cognition test, he couldn't remember the real words, and he didn't have the imagination to say something like "apple" or "elephant" if he didn't see one.
exactly. and the test itself would have 5 *unrelated words* not 3 being variations on one thing and 2 others being directly related to each other. so his own example is failing it in that those would never ever be the actual words... but he couldn't remember the actual ones or even anything close to them.
“A phony and probably rigged” WSJ survey. It was definitely phony yet probably rigged. It was actual while probable at the same time. Oh no! Please, Donnie, don’t put dear Muffin a box to test this!

Daisy, Daisy…
Leavenworth. Fulton County Jail. Rykers Island. Utica. Alcatraz.
I got a gold star sticker for reading 'See Jane Run' in 1964.
I am still the proudest man in America.
How about Joe and TFG have a little bike race, in which the several waypoints are unknown to the contestants beforehand?
NO FAIRS!!!!
TFG has SHARPEE. Can change map!

Wait what? You like Nietzsche, AND you passed a syphilis screening?
I'll be a monkey's uncle......
That is a conundrum!
toss in some power ramp climbing and descents while you're at it
"Ultimate Umbrella Folding" coming to a venue near you.
WON’T WATCH THE CLIP WON’T DO IT WILL NEVER VOLUNTARILY WATCH ASSMOUTH NEVER NEVER NEVER.
I don't even look at a picture if I think he might be in it.
C'mon. You won't get addicted, I promise.
On the other hand I would probably watch a Biden Murdoch Trump Golf Dementia Challenge. Especially if there's an obstacle course

Bruh.
I’m increasingly convinced his college entrance exam was just one of those line maze placemats they give to children at Denny’s.
And he still had to pay someone to take it for him.
Oh absolutely! That goes without saying!
Trump really does believe he aced the entrance exam for Mensa.
Trump has all the hubris for Mensa, just none of the intelligence.
I’d rather watch the actual clip of the HAL 9000 being shut down.

this clip always makes me sad enough to tear up
