There’s fog and then there’s cyanide
Who you callin’ mentally fogged?
Donald Trump has long attacked Joe Biden, his likely opponent at the polls next year, as “Sleepy Joe”, portraying the 80-year-old president as too old and too mentally fogged to occupy the Oval Office.
Trump, on the other hand, is just plain stupid.
Trump is 77 but polls show significantly fewer voters think he is too old to return to power.
But is he too stupid? Too vicious, too reckless, too self-dealing, too corrupt, too law-breaking, too sexist, too racist, too xenophobic, too rude, too trashy, too sadistic, too ignorant? Hell yes.
Biden says he is fit to serve. So does Trump, telling NBC in an interview broadcast on Sunday “there should be a competency” test for presidents, of the sort he “aced” while in the White House. That prompted memories of previous national mirth, when in summer 2020 Trump, then 74, bragged about successfully recognising “person, woman, man, camera, TV” in a cognitive exam.
And added that everyone was amazed and asked, “How did you do that?!”
Big, strong, tough psychologists were coming up to Trump with tears in their eyes and saying “sir, sir, we’ve never seen someone do so well on that test!”
Imagine if Joe Biden tweeted incoherent rants and things like “covfefe.” There’d be round-the-clock coverage and demands for comment by Democratic officials and talk of the 25th Amendment.
Maddening, isn’t it.
My father did a version of that test and passed with flying colours, which was surprising because he was also having hallucinations, getting lost on his way to the supermarket barely 1300m away, and generally causing the family concern. His Doctor was reluctant to have his drivers licence suspended. It wasn’t until I pressed them that they said, well, we have this other rather more demanding test, which he failed utterly miserably that he was banned from driving. Shortly after that there was a formal diagnosis of dementia.
Even if Biden is on the slide, I know who I would rather have as US president.
Oh, and he got extra points for remembering them in order. There isn’t a smilie that can roll eyes hard enough for that one. It’s not a “points” test, and you don’t “ace the exam.” He is SO moronic.
And he’s got no business taking pot shots at anyone else’s cognitive acumen. Just the other day, DJT said “Obama” when he meant Biden, he said that Biden’s foreign policy was about to lead to World War II [sic.], and he was completely mush-mouthed and unfocused. His 77 is worse than Biden’s 80.
He didn’t get extra points for remembering them in order though! He got negative points because that was never a question at all. It couldn’t possibly be, because the whole point is remembering random words, words that don’t provide clues to the other words. It was so pathetically obvious that he said those words because he could see them in front of him…and even then he threw in the absurd “person.” “Will he be able to think of five different words, Dan?” “I don’t know, Bill, tension is high.”
And added that everyone was amazed and asked, “How did you do that?!”
With tears in their eyes! Strong men, don’t even cry at funerals, too strong to cry, very strong men-
Damn you Screechy. DAMN YOUUUUUUUU!
*submits anyway*
I should have put on a /sarcasm tag. DJT claimed at the time that he got extra points for remembering them in order. Which is utterly ludicrous. There’s no such thing as “points” for a cognitive exam; it’s not like a college exam, even though the word “exam” is used in both contexts, but DJT is too stupid to know that. He is a concrete thinker, who has no ability to abstract. Which is why he picked out “man, woman, person, camera, TV,” as his supposed random memory words.
I don’t believe a single thing he said about the cognitive exam. E.g., I don’t believe for a minute that anyone marveled (“Sir!” with tears in their eyes, “it’s so amazing that you remembered them in order! How did you do that, Sir? That was brilliant!”) at his intellectual prowess in remembering five words. He thinks you can “ace” such a test. It’s not that kind of test. His lack of understanding of what a cognitive test is, or what it measures, just goes to show what a moron he really is.
And, bonus negative-points, he doesn’t even know that.
As far as I’m concerned, the best thing that Biden has going for him is that he is “not Trump.” He’s a accomplished a great deal as president in his first tirm, including the IRA, which has a whole set of packages to encourage investment in electric infrastructure and home upgrades.
But, personally, he doesn’t give me as much confidence as I’d like to have in a president. The sad thing is, that right now, I am not sure which frontrunner among the Democrats would due to their institutional capture by the transhumanists and transgender tide.
When we listen to Trump ramble and rant on his grievances, we wonder exactly how he could be considered as a genuine leader of the “Free world.” People talk about how his economic policies will save America, but, honestly, I can’t think of anything that he did other than send out stimulus checks and then cut taxes. He interfered with the covid responses and cast doubt on the measures proposed by his own government, and I think this prolonged the pandemic.
He’s only fit for gathering personal power, he’s not fit to lead.
The TRAs emphatically are *not* transhumanists they just share some of the trappings…
You have to recognize what and how humans are in order to be a transhumanist; they are nothing like me.
