'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.

I got a gold star sticker for reading 'See Jane Run' in 1964.

I am still the proudest man in America.

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.

Wait what? You like Nietzsche, AND you passed a syphilis screening?

On the other hand I would probably watch a Biden Murdoch Trump Golf Dementia Challenge. Especially if there's an obstacle course

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!

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.

When you have as few real accomplishments in your life after nearly 80 years as Cheetolini, you really have to oversell the ones you did do while not having executive time with pornstars live or on screen.
