Senile Donald Trump has berserk meltdown about needing to take a “mental acuity test”
The biggest and most underreported story in politics these days is that Donald Trump comes off as obviously senile in his every public appearance, yet no one in the media (on either side) ever acknowledges it. Trump now sounds like a pale confused imitation of his former self.
But now the media is finally starting to lightly touch on the fact that Trump is clearly exhibiting symptoms consistent with dementia. The Wall Street Journal is even asking poll question about Trump’s age and cognitive abilities. Accordingly, Trump is throwing a fit about it on social media, bragging that he took a “mental acuity test” and “ACED IT.” Yes, Trump is now back to bragging about the whole “Person woman man camera TV” thing. But it gets worse.
Trump is now challenging various public figures to take a mental acuity test alongside him: “I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me! We can also throw some physical activity into it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players.”
This is clownishly over the top stupid, we’re not even sure where to start. In fact we suspect Trump’s babysitters may have written this, in an attempt at sounding like him, while Trump stared feebly at the TV and muttered incoherently all day.
But hey, at least we’re now finally on the verge of having that long overdue discussion about the drastic multi-year collapse of Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities. If Trump’s cognitive abilities were worrisome when he was in office, they’ve since become far, far worse since he’s been out of office. Since this guy is still pretending he’s running for President, his severe senility should be the big headline every day. It’s overdue, but at least we’re getting there.
