He is a very stupid man


I don’t even need to name him, you all know who I am talking about. He’s challenging Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Jasmine Crockett to an IQ test, because he’s decided that the are ‘low IQ individuals’, on some basis. He’s also very racist.

You give her an IQ test. Have her pass the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. I took– those are really hard. They’re really aptitude tests, I guess in a certain way. But, they’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don’t think Jasmine– the first couple of questions are easy, a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to ten and twenty and twenty five, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions.

He did not take an IQ test. He took a basic cognitive exam, which is very, very easy to pass, unless you have serious cognitive deficits. I don’t know that he passed it as he claims, because he has obvious age-related cognitive problems, and I doubt that he’s in better mental shape than either of two young healthy women.

He’s making these claims while on a diplomatic trip to Japan, embarrassing us all.

Good god, how much longer do we have to suffer with this fool in charge?

    From what I read he did a MOCA. Name a picture of a horse or a duck, that kind of thing. He is lying constantly, also about his poll numbers, and this whole useless press pool just swallows it up.

    Considering he once suggested people drink bleach to cure covid, he falls squarely within the “low IQ” category as far as I’m concerned. Perhaps the folks at Walter Reed should include that on their tests!

    I was sat there thinking “I’ve never heard of this Walter Reed University before”. A quick google reveals that it’s actually a hospital.

    More than one person who has worked with Taco have described him as an “idiot”. As such, and as a narcissist, he will always shoot off his mouth trying to make himself look good.

    A little less than 1,181 days.

    From CNN: “Trump has also faced scrutiny over regular bruising on his right hand that he’s appeared at times to cover up with heavy makeup. The White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, has attributed it to a combination of “frequent handshaking” and aspirin use, which can increase bruising.”

    For Trump, handshaking is a competitive sport (whoever grimaces first loses) so he probably won’t cut it down. Tylenol, maybe? I mean, he’s not a girl …

    Based on the original definition of IQ, I would not doubt that Trump has an IQ of 125 or more; a 79 year old with the mind of a 100 year old. (Apologies to all the centenarians out there who are in better shape than he is.). But if an IQ competition is in the works, can we get Charles Murray in there too, just to see where he is on the curve?

    petesh @ #11 — Some have also speculated that he’s getting IVs which can cause bruising. However, I frequently have bruising on my hands and lower arms. I’m a little younger than Taco, don’t shake hands a lot, and I’m not getting IVs. Per my doctors, however, it’s not uncommon for older people who don’t have great circulation.

    From dementia, several years yet.

    From some health issue we can’t easily discern, who knows; he could drop dead tonight. Or he could be reasonably healthy until his brain kicks out.
