Is this really World News?
The mental faculty of the most powerful leader in the world? Yes, I believe so.
I don't know if he's the most powerful leader in the world (after all, another leader tells him what to do) but he does sit on the most expensive military and one of the largest economies.
I would argue that that would put him in the running for "most powerful". If for no other reason, he's very powerful since he can destroy a lot of the world if he wants to...
"The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it" ~Frank Herbert, Dune
he knows, he just isn’t saying.
He has no memory of the MRI or even seeing the doctor. People around him talk about a thing that happened and he makes up a story about it because he has no idea what they are talking about.
possibly… or he doesn’t want to tell the public about his health problems so he can seem stronger….
he’s definitely fading mentally but i think he would remember an MRI machine… it’s not a simple process
So either he doesn't remember the MRI, or his actual condition is worse than people thinking he does not remember the MRI.
OR, he’s just a pathological liar and just lied about it because he can… and lying to people is fun for him
The smell test is literally a test for dementia.
that’s not what the quoted author was referring to when they wrote “smell test”
Him having dementia explains why he has no idea and passes "the smell test".
well were just guessing….
either way he should release the tests.
he should also resign and be tried for treason, but that’s just wishful thinking
Yes.
