Trump's crowd in Arizona sits silently as he rants and raves about taking and passing dementia tests 😬

The crowd looks like fans looked after they saw Negan liquify Glenn's head on The Walking Dead. They're still watching, but they're clearly not that into it anymore.

Interesting words he chose there. Hat. (He’s always wearing one.) Hair (He wishes!) Logo (His hat has a logo.) White (Supremacy.) Black (doesn’t belong.)

“Nobody up there could do any of those things.” He’s mocking and degrading his flock in front of their faces and they chuckle and daze on. Historians will have a field day from the Rupar Archives.

I think it’s very telling that a) his idea of “a very difficult problem” is just a slightly-long sequence of basic basic arithmetic and b) the actual arithmetic question on the coganative test is “count backwards from 100 by 7s.”

Which means he remembers that there’s a math problem on the test, but he doesn’t remember what it was, he just remembers that (for him) it was difficult, so he makes up an example of what he thinks a very difficult math problem looks like.

The Trumps reeeeeaaaallly love their money because anyone else would be telling Grandpa to quit going on stage and zip his lip because he sounds like a lunatic. But some can look over embarrassment when comes to making fortunes because of him.

You gotta be plenty racist, evil, and/or ignorant to sign up for waiting in lines and sitting in baking sun to listen to incoherent rambling about nothing substantive to your life as inflation/interest rates/unemployment/unaffordability/citizens snatched off streets soar.

Can you imagine being the guy in charge of typing those five words into the teleprompter, repeatedly? Wouldn't there be just a tiny bit of temptation to switch up the word order?

"They say, PEMDAS. It's a made up word, nobody knows what it means. But I got it right. It's a pen and a 90s rap group. People don't know about Dray and Skoob. The answer is 9-one. That's how many."

I'll bet many in that crowd never really paid much attention to his actual rally lunacy & thought "Oooo I'll go to this event" where they are now being blasted in the face with his full unedited firehose of crazy. It's their "OMG, WTF" realization happening in real-time.

I'm certainly not a clinician but I can work out for myself that any scoring done would be to assess and monitor the level of impairment, and certainly not so the team can exclaim "holy shit, sir!"

🤔 Constant boasting about being smart or passing cognitive tests frequently can be a behavioral shift, a sign of denial, or a lack of insight related to cognitive changes, though it is not a core clinical symptom "on its own." 🤔

Although I believe the people there will still vote for him anyway, I have to add that if they aren’t cheering in TP USA’s backyard that spells trouble

The math on the test is serial subtraction by 7 from whatever number the version of the test tells you to start from. Requires ability to think and concentrate and hold numbers in your head, but it’s not hard math. There are no extra points for remembering the 5 words in order.

It’s possible he describes the math as this complex thing just to be funny or sound impressive, but I do have to wonder if the reason he described it this way is because he has a hard time holding the number he’s on in his head and remembering what he has to do next so it feels complex to him.

Wow! Please regale us more with your tales of passing cognitive tests! HINT: if they keep giving them to you, something’s wrong

Republicans are now dissolved into talking points such as: "I get tested for Dementia OFTEN!" "I had to tell my kid that Im not a pedophile!" "I didn't take money from special needs charities!" "I want your school to check your kid's genitals!" They are the party of projection

Especially if you’re doing it by reading a teleprompter But don’t blame it on dementia because that gives him an excuse for being not just an imbecile but for being a delusional sociopathic miscreant Which he has been for his entire adult life Now exacerbated by his ass kissing enablers&sycophants

The psychiatric test being performed is a tool to assess dementia in people. No matter how much Trump wishes, it's not an IQ test. It just isn't Trump is too stupid to understand what he was being tested for. How pathetic. How sad.

'Sir' The most tell that Trump is making stuff up out of whole cloth and yet no one has ever told him about this. He's just a ranting, egomaniacal fantasist. We've seen the test, none of this ever happened. He was asked to correctly identify a cat.

But has he, though? He tends to lie obsessively over any narcissistic injury. While laughing that he equates it with an IQ test and how he brags he’s “the only one” like it’s a matter of courage, we overlook how he has been worrying over it like a loose tooth before it became THIS. OBVIOUS.
