Dont believe all you read on the web K

That Donald passed? I admit I did find that surprising.

 

Or everything else written about him? 

[Vespasian]

I read Trump watches fox news to gee himself of a morning then watches CNN to fill himself with venom...

 

If you want to understand what animates Trump, were he gets his inspiration then listen to Ben Shapiro, got him to a tee..

 

 

All I care about is he keeps pissing off the establishment..   the more they wince, the better I feel..    I just wish he'd use the shithole metaphor in regards some of our own crap politicians..

So Potus has passed a cognitive test! 

 

I think I'm now more concerned that it's been shown that he isn't suffering from some form of disassociation, than I was before.

Don't read too much into the fact that he passed the test Gary. The questions on these mental capacity tests are laughably easy. You can find lots of examples online. They test for certain types of cognitive function but not psychiatric fitness.

 

Trump is not demented in my view, but he is without question ethically short sighted, deluded and dangerously egotistical.

Yup. It doesn't have to be this way though, there are a few with a very different message.

 

I have posted this before but it may be new to recently joined members. Here is Trump's polar opposite, the prime minister of Bhutan. Interesting to compare it to a Trump press conference.

One year of Trump, US growth at 3.6%. growth under Obama was like 1.1 for 7 years. Black unemployment at all time low. Illegal border crossings down. Multinationals moving back to USA. Yeah, he's definitely cognitively impaired though, and an amoral racist...

I’ve seen the reported actual test and reckon most eight year olds would pass it. 

Funnily enough, most of his tweets appear to have been composed by someone of a similar age group.
