And don’t forget that the dementia test in question was conducted by a doctor who signed off on a report stating that he’s at least 6’-3" and no more than 139 pounds. A doctor who subsequently had to withdraw from consideration for a position leading the Department of Veteran’s affairs because it was revealed that he was giving out prescription meds like candy and caused drunken commotions in hotels while on official government business.
In short, I’m not so sure Trump really did remember how to tell a lion from a camel.
I bet the flash photography, the Slavic drawl, and the barely noticeable secret service guy made this an unforgettable, absorbing storytelling experience for all the kids.
I think I’ve mentioned this here before, but I used to do Alzheimer’s research, and Trump does a number of things that remind me a lot of people with dementia. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the clock test that’s included in most dementia screenings.
I could understand forgetting whether the top stripe is red or white. I can genuinely buy that even US flag-inundated Americans could forget that. But, I don’t buy that any sighted mentally-healthy US citizen would make one of the stripes blue.
Ah, don’t be so hard on the man. He was obviously briefed by the Secretary of Education beforehand. After all, he surrounds himself with only the best!
Yeah, I can’t even laugh about that: it’s nothing short of alarming that he can’t remember what an American flag looks like. He was never that smart: he’s always been canny, with low animal cunning, but stupid. Now, not only does his mind appear to be disintegrating, it seems to be happening faster and faster. I shudder to think of what the next year is going to bring.
The only thing I could forgive is if he mixed up the blue and red. That is made the stripes blue and the box red. If he is color blind or perhaps has bad vision. It could maybe be plausible.
But this. Nope. It’s just purely that he is a Buffoon. Plain and simple.
He obviously didn’t want the other children to feel bad… he has no problem making children feel bad.
I wish I could ask him to draw his house. Or a poor person. Just to see what he would do.
Are you saying that he can read? Personally, I have not seen any compelling evidence that is true, and a lot that points to otherwise. Not even tweets prove it; he could be dictating them into his phone. They certainly ramble enough. “Covfefe” was probably a sneeze that jarred his brain so hard that he passed out.
