Is he really proud of passing a dementia screening?
I’d normally think, no, he’s just doing his usual exaggerating of everything he does to be impressive and awesome. But this test is so simple, so basic. He must know it means nothing to pass it. He must know virtually everyone without dementia or a serious learning disability can pass it with a 100% score. He must know that the only way doctors would be impressed or surprised is if they thought he was very far gone and expected him to bomb this simple screening.
But he goes on and on about it as if he truly is proud. Is he actually that far gone? I’m the first to say he seems like he has dementia, but I didn’t think it was so bad he’d not know he shouldn’t brag about passing this dementia screening.
Listening to him, not just here but other places including twitter, I have a hypothesis.
He goes on and on about the doctors thought it was unbelievable, that nobody had ever done so well, etc. This is the clue – he thinks it is an intelligence test. He hears the word ‘cognitive’ and doesn’t know the two aren’t the same thing.
Hence, he thinks he can ‘ace’ the test. He feels like this about all medical tests – that every time a doctor runs a test and doesn’t find anything wrong, that’s a testament to his bigly strength, his manliness, his ‘good genes’.
Haha, that test! I’m pretty sure if a stranger with a clipboard gave me a minute to list all the words starting with F my answer would be “Aww, fuck! ….. wait, that counts, right? Umm… fish… fingers…. fishfingers! God I sound like a four-year-old. Four! Five, fifteen, forty-sev-” BZZZZT time’s up.
I wonder if you get a bonus point for saying “dromedary” instead of “camel”?

I don’t know, it could be like the time my son got counted off for saying “accelerator” instead of “gas pedal” to the question about what is the pedal on the right in the car.
This almost makes me feel bad for him.
I don’t know if I feel sorry for him, but wow…

Now that I can breathe again, that was just brilliant. I must have let it loop a dozen times I couldn’t stop laughing. Bravo Sarah!
Thanks for the test, Skeletor. And Trump’s crowing about passing that.
One can see why Pompeo is talking about banning Tik-Tok…
