'Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.' Trump Brags About Cognitive Test | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
With every word trump utters you need to ask yourself “how does he believe this will help him win re-election?” Think of the simplest, shallowest answer and there it is.
I don’t know, he received a standing ovation for driking a glass of water in Tulsa.
@Norm – you’re assuming that there is any strategy to the answers he gives.
He can’t focus on much more than whatever is happening right now and in front of him.
His base, he can do no wrong according to them.
I wish we still have Obama in the white house. 142,000 wouldn’t be dead today.
@Mariyeen Acheege https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html
Atleast our president knows how to recite 5 words!
Hahahahahaha hahah
@Felipe Bernardes 150,000 dead. HILARIOUS
@Illusions for the Blind The Trump cult demands more blood and more hatred.
Trump is a worldwide embarrassment.

Trump is a HUMAN EMBARRASSMENT
In Canada, when America,Trump and Covid 19 are brought up… people.just shake their heads in disbelief at what a disaster the combination of those three things has been.
The virus has exposed how utterly broken the US government has become.
@weburnitatbothends Aliens would never share warp drive technology with our civilization because of idiots like Trump.
@Pat Kelly God wants to be funny, giving a clown and big circus to the U.S.
This is very disturbing. Trump must have done very poorly on this test. He seems to think it was an IQ test that gets harder and no one is expected to do well on it. It’s horrifying.
Well there is a t shirt for it lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DKZ8N9X
Whit Tong who are you talking about? Please don’t throw stones from glass houses. Just scan all the comments and see how ready you all are to put a senile man at the helm of your country. Aside from it being elder abuse, you care nothing about other people’s issues, the financial plight and emotional drain of the people who built this country to lose it all at the hands of globalism. That lack of empathy and lack of a sense of nationalism, Mr. Ting Tong, is truly disturbing.
@Mariyeen Acheege #irony
@Mariyeen Acheege Go figure! If you can’t figure it out, may be we should send you to have dementia test (35 questions).
Whit Tong Please… stop throwing your evil in my face I’ve had enough.
Has anyone informed the Cheato that this is the type of test you give Grandpa to decide whether or not you should take the car keys away? He truly seems to believe this is something he should be bragging about. Literally, G-d save us all until January!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh boy, I’m going to enjoy seeing you morons cry again in November.
He knows what a camel looks like. Phew…what a relief. Our President knows what a camel looks like…..
Probably saw one on his first overseas trip as Potus.
Well, I mean, he says he knows what it looks like. We haven’t actually seen his test results. We’re taking Trump’s word for it that he passed the test.
How do you know for sure he got that question correct?
Laura Walker assuming he’s looks at his face daily in the morning, even trump couldn’t mistake a camel
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the President of The United States on full display in front of the world. No wonder we’ve become the laughing stock of the world.
@Bono Budju I’m Australian and no one here is laughing at Americans were as concerned with what’s going on there as Americans are, just about 90% of people think Trumps a moron and a corrupt failed leader we know more about what’s happening in the USA than we do with the UK only what the Queen is doing as she well-liked in Australia the certain parts have tried us to be a republic but we held a referendum which was overwhelming to stay apart of the crown
@Phrozin Thanks we need a lot of help right now he’s also making a major play on our Constitution and civil liberties.
Bono, the rest of the world feels your pain.
@Daniel Mcgoldrick Thanks we are in dystopian times and need all people’s thoughts. It will be an anxious time should Trump lose and refuse to accept the decision.
Not the decent folks in America. Just Trump and his gullible base. We do worry about you though. He really needs to go.
It was Barr in a mask and a MAGA hat who took the test.
Vladi……Yup a clown mask.
Alternate theory: he did poorly the test. He’s in the early stages of dementia. But the doctors can’t legally release that info without his consent, so Trump gets to set his own narrative, claiming he did great.
@MP197742 sounds about right
The thing I find so jaw-dropping about Trump, is that he’s totally oblivious to how utterly absurd and preposterous he looks, sounds, and behaves.
@Jan Hall About a third of the nation at least…
I’m starting to think this might be the first test trump has actually taken for himself.
He’s doing a great job in spite of the attacks.
And 63 million of you Guys voted for this imbecile . 63 million …
@jasper kooiman It’s gone from America’s experiment to Frankenstein’s.
This has to be the only test he hasn’t paid for so he feels extra special about it cause he did it all by himself. Good boy here is a golden 🌟
“I thought we agreed it was to be a golden shower.”
Adam Roberts 🤣😂🤣😂
He probably had a tutor anD
practiced the same test daily for two months before he took it.
Don’t be so sure about doing all by himself either. He is extremely shameless; he can be extraspecial even if he paid someone to do it for him. As human, this crime family has no shame.
@Sallie Gallegos I won’t bet on that since this moron won’t have patience, he doesn’t even read
the Security briefing.
“A good memory”
But in deposition he didnt recall more than 90 times.
He must have said after 10 seconds, I am ready to get asked again.
Selective memory. He knows how to use it to his advantage.
Dana Mcnatt You mean he lied again. As usual.
I wonder if he passed the “who is the President of the United States” question on the test?
He couldn’t even remember the name of the test!
Just the fact that they felt the need to administer this test is a strong indication….
I think they awalys do this for an older president
Forget the politics but when everyone, including the president, is discussing the president’s cognitive abilities, isn’t it time for him to be removed?
Inde nmc well, it’s obvious you don’t, and that’s the only person’s opinion that counts here.
Big B Kenobi what is your point? That you know what I’m thinking and that you are a mind reader? Okay, you’re amazing.
Mariyeen Acheege How about none of them, both sucks
Juwangsang most everyone else wants to sound like a professor and most of them know nothing about what is needed to do a good job. This year, I have really found out how shallow people are.
@Big B Kenobi “put me in coach!”
any normal person would be highly embarrassed. So he passed a test that allows him to leave the house without a carer!
The expression on the reporter interviewing him is priceless! He’s clearly thinking…”God how in the world did you allow such a MORON to become our POTUS?”! Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
nope, he went on Fox afterwards and sucked him off.
They gave a test like that to my husband who had early dementia.
It was a big deal for Donny, his first ever test.
First he ever passed on his own? Yes, probably.
I can see why he would be so pleased with himself.
@Verruca Well, don’t be so sure about passing on his own either. Maybe not.
@Whit Tong Mary Trump just pointed out that it’s his pattern to brag about things that he fails at, pretending he succeeded along with wild exaggerations. So yes, you may be right.
Nothing he says can be trusted, one way or the other.
Trump takes a cognition test for dementia and calls it a test of intelligence.
Well done 36% of America, you’ve backed a real winner.
What is truly funny is that the test was developed in Montreal Canada by an immigrant who is a Lebanese Muslim doctor, the very type of person Trump denigrates regularly, and tries to get rid of, or keep out of the USA.
@Under gardener thank you for this information!
When did he say that? He NEVER said that, not once.
His niece said ´The fact that he brags about the test disqualifies him whether he aced the test or not´. I think that is correct.
That poor man. He doesn’t know he is embarrassing himself.
👤👸👨📷📺
Poor man?? He’s taken at least 700 babies and kids away from their families who love them and heald them in horrible conditions.. …. He tried to hide covid19 instead of preparing us which has cost over 140,000 lives so far….. ‘This poor man” is a monster.
@Whit Tong I think they don’t tell him because he’ll throw a fit and blame it on whoever tells him. They have to erase all bad comments so he don’t scream and threaten to fire them.
If one does’t know that he’s embarrassing himself, then he’s not embarrassing himself.
