Inquiring minds want to know, and all that

(17,126 posts)Apparently, he's a half hour into his spiel and he hasn't mentioned the defamation case, and he is currently bragging that only two percent of the population could pass the stupid cognitive test he supposedly took. He also whined that the media didn't give him enough credit for passing the test. Edited because I misspelled Rupar's name the first time.

(90,788 posts)Even if somebody actually told him he was merely given the quick screening test for dementia he doesnt believe that his pathetic ego cannot allow that information to enter his universe.
Instead he has to aggrandize it like his Brand and his monetary worth, puffing it up with every iteration. He is absolutely cringingly pathetic.

Looks similar if not the same as the one Trump took. It is absurd to claim that only 2% of the population could pass it.

(90,788 posts)He had a medical episode while president. Hes an old man and was sick. His doctor (or somebody) did the appropriate thing and used a short standard screening test, the same way they no doubt gave him an EKG.
And he, Trump, told the entire world that all the tests proved he was Superman. But he, Trump, continues to worry about it so he cannot shut up. Joe Biden has lost his marbles. But I, the greatest man in the world, have an IQ in the top 2% of the population.
Theres only one situation for which the 2% applies Mensa, for which a person voluntarily takes a standard IQ test and if they pass in the top 2% they can join by paying a yearly membership fee. Trump heard about it somewhere in his life, and now that he is worried all the time about losing his marbles, hes dredged up this factoid to apply to himself.

The test is a gross screening test for dementia. My spouse, who is diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and on two Alzheimer's medication, regularly passes it.

(175,749 posts)I've had to be in a rehab facility several times for an infection that gets treated with IV antibiotics. Each time as a part of their procedure I've taken the Montreal assessment test. It's a requirement that every patient gets tested.
The test is so easy that it's stupid. The person giving it to me and I giggle while taking it. He's such a baby, it's not like taking the LSAT or MCAT. Or so I'm told

(17,126 posts)Apparently it's bothering him. He whined that everyone says he's sweating and said that everyone would be sweating up there, plus they couldn't "speak" the first paragraph. True idiocracy.

The ex-president's speech included an extensive portion about his purported past cognitive tests, as well as a claim that he is smart because he has the "same genes" as his uncle who was a professor at MIT. But that didn't convince numerous onlookers, who were quick to point out Trump's various mistakes.
At one point, Trump said, "We got Mexico to send two thousand, twenty eight thousand troops."
Bruce Heyman, former United States Ambassador to Canada, said it was called "new math." Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski called the former president "Dementia Trump." Trump biographer Tim O'Brien wrote, "Numbers and math have never been his strengths." Keith Olbermann wrote, "Your daily dose of Dementia J. Trump."
