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

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours 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?

He has never in his life been the smartest person in the room. His brand of narcissism and shamelessness are somehow a cheat code when dealing with normal human beings. He's like a glitch in the matrix. But in no way is he the smartest in the room.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

But in no way is he the smartest in the room.

Only if he's alone like on the shitter, his gold plated shitter. That's where he's smartest, all by himself.

Not even the squirrel

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago

What's a squirrel? This guy is brilliant

I have pooped myself please send ambulatory

[–] bizza@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

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 15 points 22 hours ago

First time?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day 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.

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

[–] bluegreenpurplepink@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours 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.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours 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

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It would probably look like a poorly drawn bowl of alphabet soup

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Only to people like us. Turbo geniuses call it the weave

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 15 points 1 day 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 14 points 23 hours ago (1 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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My Dad had dementia, and he went through that stage, and while he was pretty good most of the time, we couldn't let him drive the car. Biden looked and acted exactly like that. He was definitely on the path.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 points 18 hours ago

I agree on that - with the important difference that Biden actually seemed to care about the opinion of his staff and knew he could depend on their judgement. Trump trusts noone except his very own NPD. Even if Biden served until his death, it would have been better for the country.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

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 22 hours 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 22 hours ago (1 children)

Then there would be several new presidents a day

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 22 hours ago

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

hey OP, why not link to the tweet with the video instead of posting a reddit screenshot of it?

His ramblings remind me of those crap videos people churn out. "You'll never believe the last one! Only a genius can figure it out!"

Thanks, OP is an incomplete quote (missing “…” indicators where redacted)

The claim was the first (squirrel) question is easy and by the 30th question it’s more difficult

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?

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 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.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This one strikes me as tricky even in theory.

Sure, in theory the democrats have a majority in the house, but they likely won't even have a simple majority in the senate, and if they are anything short of 2/3rds majority in the senate, it's largely moot. They can't pass anything Trump doesn't want and they can't remove Trump from office. Yeah, they are supposed to have leverage to deny legislation, but this administration has proven itself quite happy to unilaterally act..

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 1 points 18 hours ago

It's not meant to be logical, it's meant to be an easy out that they can convince themselves will happen so that they don't have to do anything more challenging than voting every 4 years.

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.

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

[–] bored_boar_onboard@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

What is today's date?

I thought they were supposed to start off easy.

"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?"

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