Wow.

I wonder if there are any journalists interested in such a topic?

NEW -- Trump's White House is hiding the vast majority of the transcripts of his remarks.

Why? The White House won't say...

But maybe reading the following might offer a clue:

Right???!!!🤦‍♀️

Hilarious thing about that quote is he doesn't understand that the tests for physicals given to seniors—Short Test of Mental Status, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the Mini-Mental State Examination—are measures of cognitive *impairment*. A "top" score means you know what day it is etc.

Classic. He morphed his blather about his cognitive exam into a "sir" story.

Someone should assemble a book of Trump's sir stories!

Can we PLEASE have a person in the white house who is capable, and not in his 70s???

Somebody needs to say something for Christ sake. They'll bag on Biden, but it's really Plump that's gone completely off the deep end.

Jake Tapper is thrilled, he gets to re-write the same book in a few years

His brain is mush.

They’ve got a book to promote now and need another one to promote come 2029

He sounds like my ex uncle, the diagnosed malingerer, literally yelling at a hearing loss expert 2 feet away about how the doc said his hearing had zero loss. Which is impossible for someone in their 60s. 🙄

Listen, cognitive tests are like vaccines, the more you take the more better your brain is at thinking and stuff. Cognitive, cognitive, cognitive.

Maybe some of the same people who spent days outraged over a comma in a Biden transcript can get right on this. So far they're oddly silent.

“So yes … Walter is such a great man which is why they named the entire facility after him and it’s a shame that he lost his leg. I guess they just couldn’t find it and his mother ..well, wow, what a knockout

“sir”, he said, “sir, this is the most beautiful cognitive I have ever seen.”

So we’re looking at that and you should see the results in about 2 weeks.”

Aaaaand … scene.

maybe not a 10 but definitely an 8.5 and so yes, the physical was the highest score ever seen by any other person, place, man, woman or tv.

And the cognitive was so easy. I even knew the word for the humpy animal which the doctor told me was amazing. He said, with tears running down his cheeks, ….

Good thing tRump isn't Catholic. If he was, he would spend most of his time in confession and wouldn't be on TV as much.

Jake Tapper: “hey, I’m just a straight shooter taking it to both sides! Pew pew!”

surfesq.bsky.social•1 day ago

Journalists, please read this rambling, incoherent Trump transcript. It is commitment-level stuff. How are you not grasping at this low lying fruit?

bluechick99.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I say we start calling him Mr. Potato Head, because clearly his brains are rancid mashed potatoes (or yams). 🍠

patsybaloney.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe Jake Tapper would like to write about this.

anaphoristand.bsky.social•1 day ago

He could even make a subsequent pilgrimage to the LBJ Library to opine on said writing...

patsybaloney.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly.

(Must say, "curling himself into some permanent pariah corner" made me smile. Thanks for that.)

A great question for Jake Tapper.

waynefryback.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would tag Jake Tapper here, but he has me blocked, and he would intentionally learn nothing from this anyway.

...a narcissistic person with dementia may be able to hide their illness with "confidence"...it depends on which stage of dementia the person is in...

He spoke like this at all of his campaign rallies and a plurality of Americans rewarded him with their votes.

And yet the story is still about Biden’s decline.

airfryerenthusiast.bsky.social•1 day ago

This has been on full display since the beginning. His explanation of "the cyber" during the debate in 2015 was exactly the same kind of word salad.

imnotakittie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yet press and Jake fcker is putting out Biden “wheelchair” bs… it’s always a cover

Why would anyone be concerned about the mental stability of a sitting president when they can read about a past president and theoretical circumstances surrounding a second term had he run?

This is what needs to be published not “I took my cognitive exam as part of my physical exam…I said did Biden take one? No…But we had a great physical exam…and the doctors who are total professionals, Walter Reed Medical Center, they’re great, great people.”

Lord he was born a ramblin man.

My apologies to the Allman Brothers Band, I'll see myself to the door.
