President of the United States everyone

You don't give a cognitive test to someone you don't think needs it.
While I agree especially for Obama, I'm not quite sure that holds with "we finally beat Medicare" Biden. Especially towards the end.
More than a little ridiculous to claim Biden's misspeaking during the debate is in any way comparable to "they're eating cats and dogs".
They're eating cats and dogs was straight demagoguery. It's like the Nigerian prince scams. It was rational for him to say that. Horrible, but rational.
Rational in a purely self serving sense at the cost of all else. I'm not sure rationality is doing the hard work here.
Biden was in bad shape the way that a grandpa who has been running the family hardware business for fifty years gets a little bit confused about whether or not he called the guy about fixing the leaky roof, but by God grandpa is going to be at work seven days a week selling wrenches and screwdrivers and absolutely fucking refuses to take a vacation, let alone retire, even though there are younger people who are more than ready to take over.
Trump is in bad shape like a football player who got drafted out of high school, was hustled through his college classes on the basis of his football scholarship, and then took so many blows to the head that his brain looks like a dried lotus pod.
Neither is good, but there is a meaningful difference.
looks like a dried lotus pod
I didn't know what that looks like so I googled it and wow that's basically just trypophobia fuel.
Somewhat confused old statesman.
Convicted felon rapist child predator scam artist narcissistic cuntdick hellbent on dismantling the constitution.
Choose wisely.
It was just one of the more well known examples and it is an example of not having control over your thoughts to even form a coherent statement that's relevant to what you were just saying. The whole they're eating cats and dogs isn't a great example as it unfortunately is a coherent statement that he intended to make, it wouldn't make someone suggest you take a cognitive test, they'd just think what we all think about it "you're a lying racist piece of shit peddling conspiracy theories some asshat lied about to suit your narrative."
I'm not trying to defend Trump in any way whatsoever, but Biden was absolutely declining in front of us. Either way, denying it or embracing it doesn't change where we're at so it's kinda pointless to argue. I was just commenting on the statement that there was no reason to test Biden when I think it could have been justified.
I'm not trying to defend Trump in any way whatsoever, but Biden was absolutely declining in front of us.
Yes, and now it’s happening again only this time the party doesn’t care, no one is able to shore up anything, and the majority of the government apparatus is in serious danger.
“Change is going to happen. Change that we can’t even think of right now. The things will happen and I believe for the best. Hopefully for the best, but I believe for the best.
But things will happen that you can’t even imagine. And it’s going to be very exciting, but the way that’s going to happen is through thinking big.
Nothing great was ever built, think of that. Nothing great was great was ever built without the word momentum at your side. In times of your life, you’ll have momentum. That’s the time you go for it.”
There is a difference between cognitive decline and just being a racist piece of shit.
"Beat medicaid" was cognitive decline. That wasn't a misspeak. His brain was mash potatoes that entire debate. That was just the funniest one. The really pathetic "sad slow confused old man" one's aren't as memorable.
Trump saying "eating cats and dogs" is literally just him being a racist piece of shit. That wasn't cognitive decline. Unless you think JD vance is showing old age cognitive decline.
Having said all that. They are both racist old white men with signs of dementia. The counter example you gave is just not a good example for Trump.
The difference is that Biden actually surrounded himself with competent people. Trump surrounds himself with enablers.
yes, but this is nothing new. Reagan was basically cognitively absent in a significant portion of his last term, and many believe his wife essentially took the role of the presidency. This has been talking point among democrats for decades now, so there was a lot of "revenge" coping going on with Biden. His cognitive state is not truly known. The books, like Tappers, have provable false information them. However those within the west wing at that time have things against their stated evaluation on Biden's competency. We, unfortunately, have no idea how bad it was, and all the outpouring of statements against him, and in his defense, are too full of intentional disinformation to really know, at this point. I imagine that some years from now there will be information that comes to light that cuts through a lot of this obfuscation, and we will have closer answers. Right now too many parties have interest in it being not known. I think if there was clear records of his decline in the records from the white house, Trump would be parading them around. So we shall see.
He could actually speak coherently. Are we seriously comparing a couple gaffes with a constant stream of sentence fragments?
Biden's final debate performance was pretty awful. Seemed lost a couple times. Nothing like the guy who had debated Paul Ryan years before. It was so bad that he had to drop out.
He looked like a tired old man in that debate. Good grief, i will never understand why everyone points at that debate as if he wasn't lucid.
as if he wasn’t lucid.
Simply doesn't fit the narrative that the only acceptable old politician is Bernie.
He never seemed "lost", he seemed hoarse.
He doesn't look lost. It looks like he's someone with a well known stutter stumbling over his prepared talking points. And getting flustered over it because it's a very public event.
"I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never," Jill Biden told CBS News Sunday Morning's Rita Braver in an interview airing Sunday on CBS.
"I don't know what happened," she said. "As I watched it, I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.' And it scared me to death."
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jill-biden-interview-joe-biden-debate-frightened-stroke/
I had multiple grandparents at different states of decline from dementia during the fateful debate. Those weren't his usual stutter nor a simple misspeaking, that was his brain being unable to connect the partial fragments of thoughts and voice them. Aka dementia.
Trump's also showing clear cognitive decline, but he's also much more obviously very hopped up on medications for all of his public speaking engagements. There's a ~4 week cycle of him having a poorly covered up bruise from an IV in his hand, about a week of him hidden from the public eye, then about 2 weeks of him doing noticably better then he starts declining again for the last week before the next dose during which he gets hidden from the public eye again. They schedule all of his biggest public engagements during that 2 week window
I am not comparing him to Trump, Trump is clearly spiraling out of control. The problem is he had proof of problems and they hid them. No one knows the degree, so it is being used by anyone who can make money from it to postulate that he was basically either unaware of what was happening around him, or being sharper than most people in their 20s, neither was true. At some point we may learn what was happening.
People in their twenties are stupid, and I've never heard of anyone making such a comparison. That sounds made-up.
yes it is called hyperbole, and thank you for insulting a large swath of adults for no reason.
Ah, you must be in your twenties.
No, i am twice the age of most 20 somethings. You come off as still in high school though.
Don't mind that whooshing sound above you, it's nothing.
TBF I think he was facing some really bad cancer diagnosis and working one of the most public and stressful in existence. He might not have been up for the task rather than not been with it.
Biden definitely was given a MOCA, probably several times. He just didn't brag about it
I reckon that was just a brain fart
Happens to everyone.. The difference is that 50% of what trump says is fart
Only 50%?
I was using Trump math for my percentage calculation.
It's a bigly number
Here sit down and take these crayons and draw the first thing that comes to your mind. Anything at all.
Oh. Oh no. Oh god no. Not that. NOT THAT!
Hes so damn dumb he thinks it's an accomplishment.
He really does not understand that he just posted that Obama & Biden were completely sane. No one was questioning their ability to function in the real world. He had 3 MOCA tests to track his ability to function. AKA the patient needs to be assessed often to verify his mental state. This is the stupidest boast, it makes him look even stupider. Give him another MOCA test.
I really think they need to add one last question to the test. "Does the participant understand the test they just took?" It's clear he does not.
It's like seeing someone who's been a failing student all year, who was told they need to get a B or higher on the final to pass. Then when they manage it, they go around bragging, "Who got a decent grade on the final and doesn't have to retake the course in summer school? This guy!"
Then they point at the honor students, who were exempted from the final due to their high grades, and tease them over not even having a score for the final... so far detached from the situation that they fail to see how having no grade at all in this case is better than getting any grade.
That's because president rapist is actually an International Airport. Everything literally flies past him, over him and around him. He cannot grasp any concept what so ever.
It's worse than that. There is no "passing" the test. It's to track the rate of his dimentia's progression. They aren't really looking at whether he gets the easy answers correct. They're seeing how he reacts to the question, how quickly he answers, and if he drifts away and comparing the results over time to see how quickly he's losing his mind.
Exactly. He has no clue that he is sharing with the world that doctors are concerned with his decline. It's quite ironic that the man who boast about everything to jack up his rock bottom self esteem, is clearly admitting that he is a broken mess.

Is it some sort of symbolism for the state of the US government?
Honestly a sign like that wouldn't even surprise me on a daily basis in this hole. I've seen businesses named MUCH dumber than that. Might just be conveniently ridiculous reality.
Is that meant to be Vance clinging on to the back and falling?
Did you make this? If you did I'm going to owe you credit for spreading it all over the internet
No - in fact the one I went to find is from b3ta.com, so I don’t know which came first, but this was definitely well done.
I can't believe they didn't use the telephone poll for a seamless loop

Please tell me this is real
It is.
Here's a link to a site that mirrors everything he posts in his safe space.
Ho ly shit.
I had no idea that site existed, thank you for the new resource!
Damn, Poe's law is just the default these days.
I don't see the relevance of Poe's law...
It’s always real.
I almost want to post a meme response, but the comparison would be an insult to Garak.
3 toddler cognitive tests
2 impeachments
34 felony convictions
1 adjudicated rape
1 fraudulent charity shut down
1 fraudulent university shut down
1000s of mentions in the Epstein files
2 failed presidencies
(fill in the blank) Constitutional violations
my dude, they aren't toddler cognitive tests.
they're assessments. they give them to people with dementia or progressive neurological decay to assess how far and how fast they are going. there is no "acing" them, because part of the assessment is how you take the test, not just the answers. don't tell that dipshit tho
other than that, carry on.
"The number of constitutional violations is left as homework for the reader"
Don't forget, the only man to go broke with casinos. Two of them.
He opened another failing casino right by his first failing casino, so they could both make half as much.
He charged his own casinos 90K for an "appearance fee" to walk through the floor and glad hand the guests.
He was actually too greedy to stop milking his own casinos. Let that sink in
His casinos were Russian money laundering operations. They were supposed to lose money.
Plus THREE bankrupt casinos
too dumb to realize that is not a brag...
He thinks this is a flex and not doctors testing him regularly for dementia.
It's almost pitiful, if you can muster up pity for an actual monster
Can we call them what they are?
Dementia tests.
He's bragging about taking three dementia tests so far this year.
He's literally so stupid and/or demented that he doesn't realize the fact he has to explain what these tests are to everyone means they aren't normal.
Despite being soundly mocked by his opponents for it.
Its just textbook narcissism. He fr can not comprehend a reality where he is not the best
Not only bragging about taking them, but he's saying they're hard. They shouldn't be...
"I took an IQ test. Luckily it came back negative."
I'm mildly surprised he can remember the number
A gorilla also passed that cognitive test
Well, not just any gorilla, but yes. She would have been a better president.
Source? I want this to be true, so bad 😭
Koko the gorilla passed the test using sign language
Felony convictions:
Obama - 0
Biden - 0
Trump - 34
My man!
Gold
Made your own meme, and still managed to misspell 'felony' DESPITE it literally being provided for you.
Mate, I made this on a phone while taking a shit.
and Trump deserved no more than that.
They used an unflattering picture of Biden here, but it's funny they apparently couldn't find any bad pictures of Obama to use.
Could have used one with the tan suit.
Nah, he looked damn good in that suit and I think that was the problem.
He did.

Reminds me of xkcd's "Biden Photos" comic. https://xkcd.com/915/
From way back in 2011, wow!
No way this is real.

I love the subconscious irony of, red bad; blue good.
Say it with me... "Da-men-Sha"
What? Huh? WHO ARE YOU?? WHY ARE YOU IN MY SAFE SPACE?? NURSE!!!
Dude's been bragging about passing MOCAs for ten years now. I'd be interested to know what his actual score was though, because if I'm sure of anything it's that Donald Trump is not a reliable historian.
I don’t know that it’s scored as such. If you can’t identify the camel and the lion, or draw a square, you probably don’t need a percentage.
The MOCA has a maximum score of 30, anything below a score of 26 calls for further evaluation if there are concerns for cognitive ability. It's a single page assessment you can find on the 6th page here: https://championsforhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/MOCA-8.1.8.2-English.pdf
It tests several different areas of cognitive functioning, and the total score is only one indicator. A poor score in any one section can indicate a more specific issue with memory, recall, abstraction, etc

We don't know how old this tweet truth lie is.

Sometimes I wonder if he's really that dumb or if he's a carefully designed weapon of mass distraction.
"not to brag or anything, but I manage to stay at least 500 ft away from all schools, parks, and playgrounds. Much further away than most people, they tell me, Donald you stay further away from schools and playgrounds and parks than any other president. Much further away than sleepy Joe and Obama"
His derangedness is actually super funny if human rights and global economy wasn't at stake. We need more world leaders rambling how hot Sydney Sweeney is
And remember that one of Trump's staffers created this graphic and thought it was a good idea that the President post it...
...or was so desperate to please his Lord and Savior that he offered this graphic despite having the sense to know it did not make the President look good, even to his base.
Now that I think about it, this could be a Mother Night moment.
Perhaps they helped out of malice:
'Oh, you want me to help make you look like a fucking idiot? Sure!'
Wouldn't hold my breath; not a lot of descent people around him...
They have to lie to him to get him to take them. They have to back up their lie. I'm guessing it involves a lot of ego booting stuff. I bet everything they say to him is phrased that way.
You think the white hous pays a stafferfor graphic design? They'll just spin up a clanker and get it to generate whatever they want to post
Actually, yes, the President has a team of artists(?) whose job is to generate slop to please him, that he can post. And as we've seen the results they're not good at it...
... at least not compared to slop artists on the field who try to perfect LORAs and stress test their own prompting skills.
Hilarious but 0% chance of being real
Edit: What the actual fuck
It’s real. Regrettably, reality crossed over into idiocracy a long time ago.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116646986947580696
Are you fucking kidding me
Yes, it was all just a bad joke 👍
Out of curiosity, it says 4 something p.m. - is that his local timezone or mine?
Yours, I assume. It was posted about two and a half hours ago. Which would be about 10:20am EDT.
Pfahaha, well he is the first one required to take one so...
LMAO. Ouch. Way to bare your insecurity, hard.
Aced Cognitive Tests
And ^can't get there from here. Heh. Reminds of when he boasted of having the greatest humility.
"I'm a million times as humble as thou art, fool." -Weird Al, Amish Paradise
Hey, Don, why are they regularly testing you for dementia? They didn't need to test those other guys.
Trump is senile, a fascist culmination of everything the US has been doing for decades, and a horrible human being. But:
We didn't need to test Obama for dementia
carries a very different meaning from
We didn't need to test Biden for dementia
Maybe it's been memory holed a bit, but after the infamous debate, it became public knowledge that for the two years prior to that, Biden was pretty much non compos mentis.
Again, Trump is senile, demented, pathetic, and so on.
Oh, grandpa ...
That's not the flex you think it is.
Put down the phone and tell us the story about how windmills killed your great-grandmother. Yup. Uh-huh. Cancer. Right.
Frantically presses the call button for a nurse
The Unabomber was in my frat- Trump
As an Alpha Free Thinking Lifelong Republican Voter I can CONFIRM First Hand how DIFFICULT these Tests are to Complete! I STILL haven't Completed One!
He's aced 3
...out of how many?
That's at least 3 times a Dr has questioned his cognitive ability. Why does he think that's a flex? Lol
He believes his own bull shit.
That's Exhibit #01 for an example of when one should be considered incapable of discharging the duties required of the Commander in Chief.
He might be ready for first grade after all.
My question is, who makes these graphics for him, and how much are they paid?
Pick your AI prompter
Let he also awared with a certificate of non donkey brains, cast the first stone.
This is like being called a 'filthy slut' and then producing 3 different STD panel results as proof that you're not, and then mocking people who aren't on first name terms with the nurses at the clinic as being somehow sluttier than you.
P.S. Shout out to sluts, I would be one too if ladies would actually fuck me.
The first paragraph explains the second.
Is this a real post of his?
It’s always real. The pee tape is real.
I've been saying it for a decade now: it's not a "pee tape," it's a "CP tape."
Getting people to call it a "pee tape" is a limited hangout.
What's a CP tape?
Child Porn (more properly called CSAM, but "CP" rhymes with "pee-pee"). I believe the proverbial "tape" shows Trump fucking a child.
I shouldn't be even a little bit surprised given how much he talked about it and the sheer quantity of times he's in the Epstein files, but it's still shocking.
Could very well be; except it's not dated so we don't know how old it is. He's definitely been bragging - on camera - about taking these "intelligence" tests, and how super easy they were for him. Some years ago. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it, now!
It's from today.
Lol. That's because they weren't given cognitive tests.
It's kinda like saying I get an erection 100% after taking Viagra.
Trump is such a stupid plonker.
Do not ask for whom the bone bones, it bones for we, and we are absolutely boned.
This is like an annoying kid bragging that they got all the progression stripes on his white belt in Taekwondo. While all the other kids went straight for the yellow belt and the stripes were created just for that one kid.
Are you sane?
YES!
Are you sure?
YES!
Super sure?
YES!
Sigh ok you're free to go.
"I HAVE BEEN DECLARED TRIPLE SANE."
That photo makes him look like a used mattress salesman.
Dementia-less ex-presidents are jealous ... You dumb loser
I've stopped checking to see if the newest absurdity is real anymore, he really has no idea how stupid this looks whether true or false, since he brags about passing these ridiculously easy cognitive tests.
A relative of mine passed one just the other day... and she's seriously impaired and can't manage to order food on a phone.
Cheque, mayte!
You only get the test when people question your state of mind.
more like assed it 3 times

Wow, I'm glad! Having a moron president would be pretty bad /s
Now I’m off to take my cognitive dental exam! Then my cognitive skin test! And of course my cognitive CAT scan exam! I’m so healthy and smart! 🫲🍊🫱
