“I did something no other president's ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that and by the way, not easy,” Trump said in his Friday speech that was reportedly meant to focus on the economy.

“The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.

“I don't think Joe would have gotten the first question right,” Trump said. “He would say hippo. ‘I want the hippo,’” the president continued, as his insults against his predecessor drew some laughs from the crowd.

“I've taken now three cognitive tests. I've aced every single one of them,” Trump claimed, pausing as the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

Edit: It gets way worse than this. 44:39 he starts talking about people thinking he's dead and then leads into this stuff. It lasts for many minutes and he goes into excruciating detail. https://youtu.be/77TqXo0KLrY?t=2679

How do people listen to this and go, "Yep, he's great!"

I just don't understand it. I know, cult, but... Wow.
