Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

The fact that Donald Trump goes around bragging about passing a basic cognitive test is proof in itself that there’s something wrong with him cognitively. He’s talking about the kind of test they give to see if you’re completely senile, and “passing” it simply means you can for instance, correctly identify a picture of a common animal.

But now it seems to have gotten worse for Trump. He’s once again bragging about being able to remember how to identify a whale on a cognitive test:

The trouble? According to Dr. Jonathan Reiner, there is no whale on the particular cognitive test that Trump is talking about. Trump is actually remembering the animal on the test incorrectly. And since the point of the test is to be able to remember which animal you’re supposed to be identifying, this seemingly means that Trump has failed.

Donald Trump has now gone from bragging about being able to remember what a giraffe is, to now apparently misremembering the the giraffe as a whale. His cognitive abilities now seem to be declining further in his every public appearance – and it’ll only get worse.
