Isn't this the second time this exact thing has happened?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

Yeah but he didn't remember the first time.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 149 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yep, and despite all that and his first term half the US voters still figured he'd be a great President.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 days ago

But he could totally identify which one was the elephant, and didn't confuse it with the rhino or the camel even once. I'm pretty sure that qualifies anyone to be the bigliest president.

Yeah, but Biden was just so old. Many people said so!

It's fun to remind them that Trump was older when he took office in '25 than Biden was in '21.

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago

It's fun to remind them that he's never won against a man.

For reasons that don't make any sense to me, that seems to really bother them. 🤔

Democrats didn't help themselves by running terrible candidates with shitty policies, yeah.

Yeah, this is Trump's second "annual visit" to Walter Reed hospital.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago

Different thing. During his first term, he claimed to have aced a certain cognitive test his doctors gave him. When questioned about it, it sounds like he got the MoCA test, which you can see here:

Yeah, that's not a test an adult takes when your doctor thinks everything in your brain is fine.

Let's hope its a trilogy and there's no reboots.

They're going to keep giving it to him to gauge his decline.
