The standard dementia test was hard? And he usually surrounds himself with people even dumber than him. So he might actually be right that many people around him would have failed...

If Donald Trump is the smartest person in the room, there's no one else in the room.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Plot twist: he's actually outside.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

I’m in a rehab hospital for alcoholism. Im the smartest patient here! Also it just opened and I’m the first patient here. First and best. You won’t see them print that in the papers tho. Terrible people.

No one has ever completed the program here. I’ll be the first to ever do that. First in the world. They don’t hand out medals for that, maybe they should I don’t know. But they don’t so. If they offered me one I’d take it but they don’t do that here. So what are you going to do. But I would take it I think, yeah. I definitely earned it. But maybe we should look into that

Now ask yourself did I ramble because I’m struggling with withdrawals and not thinking clearly, or was I imitating trump?

That’s exactly the problem. It’s hard to tell. It should be easy to tell which. If you don’t know which… that’s kinda bad right?

I find it so surreal that he can't even shut the fuck up about the fact that he gets dementia tested on the regular, which happens to be a symptom of dementia

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's not surreal, it's hilarious. Or, it would be if we didn't have a senile old coot running the country, with the help of a simpering staff that kisses his ass every second and tells him he is the smartest human to have ever lived.

No /s, it's actually TRUE.

P.S. That's actually 2 senile old coots in a row, 3 terms of dementia. Who's next? Who's the oldest person in America?

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Biden didn't have Dementia, but it was visible that he gave the last years he had in him before cognitive decline really set in for his country. They should never have tried to let him run again.

Let's just have a new system where the oldest person in America is always president. I bet there are some over 100 who would do a better job than Trump

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Or we could flip it and have the youngest person do it. They would also be better than trump.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Then there would be several new presidents a day

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

True. And yet still more competent than what we have going on now.

The actual cognitive test is for America, and they're all failing if they don't realize he's just making shit up as he goes along, and NOTHING he says is ever true.

If any other President in history ever did any of the things he's doing constantly, they'd be over.

Why is America okay with this? Does the whole country need to take this test?

[–] bonsai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 4 days ago

Does the whole country need to take this test?

Yes. Resoundingly yes. It's so fucking stupid here.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

We've all been thoroughly conditioned to be confident in the system. Most Democrat voters I know in real life honestly think that in 2028 we'll vote in a Democrat who will fix everything and everything will go back to "normal."

They refuse to see this as being any different than any other embarrassing 4 years of republican presidency. They think all our allies will just write this off and resume trade and military relations, all the environmental and scientific groups will welcome us back with open arms, and we'll all think back on these years and laugh.

To admit otherwise would mean there's more to do than just vote for that same color you've always voted for, and that would be a real hassle.

In a world where everyone's shoving AI down our throats, a President who makes things up on the fly and says untrue shit just fits in too well.

When are reporters going to point out that the test isn't meant to be considered hard..

Also, they need to start pushing for more information on the bruising of his hand, and WHY they keep testing him

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

You mean the same media that was instrumental in getting us where we are?

[–] bluegreenpurplepink@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I wish reporters would relentlessly ask him basic questions he should know like about the constitution and how the government works. Ask him to define fascism, democracy, fraud, consent. Ask him what narcissism is, and since he claims to be Christian, ask him what Jesus taught.

Imagine the word salad that would follow any one of these questions.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

A good one would be to ask him to draw a clock from memory showing what 8.40 would look like

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He's banned any journalist or news network that would actually potentially ask these questions because he can't handle being called out for anything and his response to anything but ego stroking questions is to verbally attack the asker then ban them

"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would vote for any of the replicants over Trump at this point. Even Leon.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 days ago

They're smarter than humans, come with a built-in term limit, and have no children to commit nepotism with.

I see no downsides.

I can't wait until this fucker is in jail and we can hold the entire gov't accountable for what they've done

right

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

First time?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

LOL. Sure. The Easter bunny and Santa Claus will jail him.

At this point I think it's undeniably obvious that this country is failing and incapable of upholding the law and holding criminals accountable.

I wouldn't expect anything other than continued collapse. Americans would have to be significantly more intelligent than they are to expect more.

Would love to see him die in office. I would love to see him die by guillotine even more.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd rather see him go to prison for being a pedophile so there is at least some justice in the world

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 7 points 4 days ago

I prefer he go to trial for ALL of his CRIMES, get sentenced consecutively, so it's life in prison, with one death penalty for his war crimes and/or treason, and when he's close to death, put his decrepit ass against the wall and execute him by firing squad (MAGA wants it back).

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

Someone should get a ten year old to do one of those tests and record it.

In fact, let's all have a go! https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage

I took one after having brain surgery a couple years ago. Was funny to me for a couple reasons:

  • I was given 5 words, then after talking to the nurse for a few minutes I had to repeat all 5 words from memory. I told her that I wouldn’t have done well on that pre-surgery. 😅
  • When I got the “what animal is this” test and told the nurse that I couldn’t remember if a camel or a dromedary has two humps the nurse basically said “I think we’re good here”

My spouse was naturally less amused than me due to the conditions which necessitated the test.

I remembered it from that poem when I was a kid, just remember it IS the other way round.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I took the test, it was so hard, mostly because the questions were so dumb I kept thinking there was a trick to it

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 4 days ago

I got to the end and was like, that's it?

Low energy AF. I heard the audio of him talking about that test and he sounded very tired... and like he was having a bit of trouble getting through the explanation. Probably just wishful thinking that he's running out of steam, but he's so full of hot air it's hard to tell, lol

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Well we all have a limited amount of energy in our life, according to the dumbass president

That's sounds tough, I'm not sure I could pass it. I mean, I know what all those animals.are, even a squirrel, but in a test situation, the pressure on? I'm not sure I could identify them all.

And three times? I definitely couldn't pull it off three times. Four animals? Not possible. Three, maybe, but four? C'mon, I'm only human.

is this something new, or is this recycling "person, woman, man, camera, tv"?

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Probably the same type of test, just a different occasion so there would be different objects to remember.

As someone else here mentioned, regular testing like this is usually a sign of oncoming dementia.
