I want to live in a world where this is just satire.

Jesus Christ...

Pretty sure it's real. There's actually tons of transcripts that read just like this, so even if this one isn't, it's totally on brand, without the slightest hint of exaggeration.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 7 points 4 months ago

I’m still not convinced Trump isn’t just an elaborate 4chan prank that’s gone way out of hand.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 70 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maga kind of is. Trump himself isn't.

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

Trump is their puppet

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

Real talk, in 2016 I knew two assholes who voted for him to punk libs as a joke. So uh, kinda yeah.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 11 points 4 months ago

The qanon saga.. some are just nasty and don't know the difference between comedy because of social pathology

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Sort of. It’s the result of a very long history of the government using all of their resources to attack, discredit, destroy and infiltrate and person or group that is remotely left of the far right unaccountable colonialist capitalist subjugation. On 4 Chan that was the occupy movement and that was infiltrated and destroyed by our government yet the more dangerous Nazi’s and incels got a pass. This is because these hateful ideologies support and reinforce the oppressive system. Just more COINTELPRO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I mean, it sure started like that, back in 2015-16.

Cooked his brain? It didn't even look at his brain. Didn't need to because he aced the tests, which you couldn't possibly do. His brain is as raw and fresh and smooth as the day he was born. I bet yours is all gross and old and wrinkly looking.

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

He got a "Rock hard brain."

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He probably got zero percent and the doctors said he aced them.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 10 points 4 months ago

I don't think he listens to what people tell him anyway. I think he just has the whole conversation in his head and then remembers it that way.

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Couldn't see his brain because even modern MRI scanners don't have a high enough resolution

Yeah, those tests are super hard, only a big brain genius like Donald Trump can figure out questions like... *checks notes*... "Where are you and what day is it?"

Trump managed to convince me in two sentences that his MRI was on his brain. He really does have a way with words.

He will never admit to what he sees as weakness. He painted himself into a corner there with how he constantly accuses Joe and Hilary of not being forthright about their health issues. He’s such a hypocrite.

His bragging about “passing” these cognitive tests makes me think the doctors have to make them into a game he can “win” or best others at just so he’ll take them. So even they are well aware he’s a stupid narcissist and know how to manipulate him.

My hot take is I bet Leavitt looked ashen that day because he had a heart attack and/or stroke right in front of Putin.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 months ago

This was a different kind of stroke he had in front of Putin than normal though.

His brain is the best, as smooth as a billiards ball. Even smoother than it, if that's possible.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (7 children)

I feel like he would remember if it was the brain just because they click in a cage thing over your head for the duration of the scan. I get an MRI of my brain once a year for my MS and I would never forget getting one. But hey, who knows, he's going senile. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe he has some kind of disease in a different part of his body that needs an MRI to diagnose.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 48 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Or he's lying because he doesn't want to admit to having the cognitive issues he clearly has. Or possibly just because he's so used to lying at this point it's just automatic.

Weird I got a brain MRI scan about 4 years ago and there was no cage

Edit: I am in no way defending Trump, just curious about the MRI experience. Trump is a pedo fascist fuck with dementia

[–] smoker@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

There are some newer portable MRIs that kinda look like this

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I am so jealous. I've been getting them for about a decade now and have always had a cage.

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

@LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world

@MuskyMelon@lemmy.world

Right now, my mum is developing dementia (we're waiting on tests to help with a definitive diagnosis). Her memory is very bad, and getting worse. She can forget what she said in one sentence by the time she is part way through the next. If it wasn't terrible it would be amazing - like she fully 100% has no idea what she said and sometimes will even argue that she didn't say that thing. So I think it's completely within the realms of possibility that he doesn't remember.

I also think that he doesn't care enough about any of this to even register the information as worth remembering in the first place. He's a shitty cunt regardless of the objective assessment of his mental state.

I hope it's something serious.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 5 points 4 months ago

As Basil Fawlty says:

Let's hope it's nothing trivial

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, so it has had an MRI, I wonder where?
"It wasn't the brain"
Oh, so it's had an MRI on the brain, I wonder if they found it?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 11 points 4 months ago

"the results came back perfect"

oh so they found something really spicy

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago

A cognitive test is NOT a pass/fail kind of test.

[–] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago

How Is this person even real? And the president of the usa?

He talks about deporting immigrants to their origin country, how about we deport him off the office and make him calm down and SHUT UP!

Stupidity and evil, name a more iconic duo

Get him into some retirement home, it's just getting sad now.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

It's like a child in 6th grade still talking about passing a spelling test in 1st grade.

But hey, windmills cause cancer and no one knows how magnets work. Oh, and they definitely stop working underwater.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago
