I find it so surreal that he can't even shut the fuck up about the fact that he gets dementia tested on the regular

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not surreal, it's hilarious. Or, it would be if we didn't have a senile old coot running the country, with the help of a simpering staff that kisses his ass every second and tells him he is the smartest human to have ever lived.

No /s, it's actually TRUE.

P.S. That's actually 2 senile old coots in a row, 3 terms of dementia. Who's next? Who's the oldest person in America?

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Biden didn't have Dementia, but it was visible that he gave the last years he had in him before cognitive decline really set in for his country. They should never have tried to let him run again.

Let's just have a new system where the oldest person in America is always president. I bet there are some over 100 who would do a better job than Trump

The actual cognitive test is for America, and they're all failing if they don't realize he's just making shit up as he goes along, and NOTHING he says is ever true.

If any other President in history ever did any of the things he's doing constantly, they'd be over.

Why is America okay with this? Does the whole country need to take this test?

[–] bonsai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago

Does the whole country need to take this test?

Yes. Resoundingly yes. It's so fucking stupid here.

[–] shadshack@feddit.online 5 points 1 week ago

In a world where everyone's shoving AI down our throats, a President who makes things up on the fly and says untrue shit just fits in too well.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

We've all been thoroughly conditioned to be confident in the system. Most Democrat voters I know in real life honestly think that in 2028 we'll vote in a Democrat who will fix everything and everything will go back to "normal."

They refuse to see this as being any different than any other embarrassing 4 years of republican presidency. They think all our allies will just write this off and resume trade and military relations, all the environmental and scientific groups will welcome us back with open arms, and we'll all think back on these years and laugh.

To admit otherwise would mean there's more to do than just vote for that same color you've always voted for, and that would be a real hassle.

"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would vote for any of the replicants over Trump at this point. Even Leon.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

They're smarter than humans, come with a built-in term limit, and have no children to commit nepotism with.

I see no downsides.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it a real tortoise or an electric tortoise?

If Donald Trump is the smartest person in the room, there's no one else in the room.

Plot twist: he's actually outside.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I’m in a rehab hospital for alcoholism. Im the smartest patient here! Also it just opened and I’m the first patient here. First and best. You won’t see them print that in the papers tho. Terrible people.

No one has ever completed the program here. I’ll be the first to ever do that. First in the world. They don’t hand out medals for that, maybe they should I don’t know. But they don’t so. If they offered me one I’d take it but they don’t do that here. So what are you going to do. But I would take it I think, yeah. I definitely earned it. But maybe we should look into that

Now ask yourself did I ramble because I’m struggling with withdrawals and not thinking clearly, or was I imitating trump?

That’s exactly the problem. It’s hard to tell. It should be easy to tell which. If you don’t know which… that’s kinda bad right?

Would love to see him die in office. I would love to see him die by guillotine even more.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd rather see him go to prison for being a pedophile so there is at least some justice in the world

When are reporters going to point out that the test isn't meant to be considered hard..

Also, they need to start pushing for more information on the bruising of his hand, and WHY they keep testing him

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

You mean the same media that was instrumental in getting us where we are?

[–] bluegreenpurplepink@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I wish reporters would relentlessly ask him basic questions he should know like about the constitution and how the government works. Ask him to define fascism, democracy, fraud, consent. Ask him what narcissism is, and since he claims to be Christian, ask him what Jesus taught.

Imagine the word salad that would follow any one of these questions.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A good one would be to ask him to draw a clock from memory showing what 8.40 would look like

Would be better to just throw the clown in jail where he belongs. Will go down in history as the biggest traitor against the American people to ever have been in office.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Against the world...

That being said, other countries like here in Australia, we've made some pretty sweet trade deals with other countries

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Without a doubt the most prolific traitor in American history. But Americans are too stupid to acknowledge that in meaningful numbers now. It'll just be something generally acknowledged in retrospect in the future, which doesn't do us any good.

hey OP, why not link to the tweet with the video instead of posting a reddit screenshot of it?

I can't wait until this fucker is in jail and we can hold the entire gov't accountable for what they've done

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LOL. Sure. The Easter bunny and Santa Claus will jail him.

First time?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

At this point I think it's undeniably obvious that this country is failing and incapable of upholding the law and holding criminals accountable.

I wouldn't expect anything other than continued collapse. Americans would have to be significantly more intelligent than they are to expect more.

Low energy AF. I heard the audio of him talking about that test and he sounded very tired... and like he was having a bit of trouble getting through the explanation. Probably just wishful thinking that he's running out of steam, but he's so full of hot air it's hard to tell, lol

Someone should get a ten year old to do one of those tests and record it.

In fact, let's all have a go! https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage

I took one after having brain surgery a couple years ago. Was funny to me for a couple reasons:

  • I was given 5 words, then after talking to the nurse for a few minutes I had to repeat all 5 words from memory. I told her that I wouldn’t have done well on that pre-surgery. 😅
  • When I got the “what animal is this” test and told the nurse that I couldn’t remember if a camel or a dromedary has two humps the nurse basically said “I think we’re good here”

My spouse was naturally less amused than me due to the conditions which necessitated the test.

I took the test, it was so hard, mostly because the questions were so dumb I kept thinking there was a trick to it

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago

I got to the end and was like, that's it?

What's a squirrel? This guy is brilliant

I have pooped myself please send ambulatory

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's sounds tough, I'm not sure I could pass it. I mean, I know what all those animals.are, even a squirrel, but in a test situation, the pressure on? I'm not sure I could identify them all.

And three times? I definitely couldn't pull it off three times. Four animals? Not possible. Three, maybe, but four? C'mon, I'm only human.

is this something new, or is this recycling "person, woman, man, camera, tv"?

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Probably the same type of test, just a different occasion so there would be different objects to remember.

As someone else here mentioned, regular testing like this is usually a sign of oncoming dementia.

What is this? A walk into a bar joke written by an illiterate person on shrooms?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 week ago

No, just another day with Donald Trump as president.
