he knows, he just isn’t saying.

“It’s impossible for him not to know what the MRI was focused on. He can choose not to say. But it doesn’t pass the smell test to say he had no idea,” Mr Cillizza said.

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”

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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
