    I’m pretty sure that every single person around him knows full well how cooked his brain is (and has been for at least a decade). They have to wait until Jan 21, 2027 to dump him, though. If he’s replaced more than halfway through his term, Vance is still eligible to run twice more; before that and it’s only once.

    Not that VP Couchfucker would win a single free election, let alone two, but fair elections aren’t part of the plan. Then they don’t have to worry about subverting the two-term limit until the 2036 cycle.

      Here is me reminding you that the EXACT same thing was said about trump. What single idiot would even vote for that? Right?

      And here we are. TWICE.

          100%, that should be more obvious to a growing number of center-leftist types who always vote dem “because the system forces you to”.

          the DSA seems to be the only smart ones in the room, take over Dem seats silently until you have the majority necessary to force out all leadership at local/state level. once you have control of the pocketbook you have control of the party.

          because the majority of US politicians are only in it for the money…you don’t need to grab all the seats or even a strong majority, you just need to have more seats than the other group actually acting on principles. the ones in it for the money/status will side with whoever they think can get them another reelection

    “I did something no other president’s ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that and by the way, not easy,” Trump said in his Friday speech that was reportedly meant to focus on the economy.

    “The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.

    “I don’t think Joe would have gotten the first question right,” Trump said. “He would say hippo. ‘I want the hippo,’” the president continued, as his insults against his predecessor drew some laughs from the crowd.

    “I’ve taken now three cognitive tests. I’ve aced every single one of them,” Trump claimed, pausing as the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

    Edit: It gets way worse than this. 44:39 he starts talking about people thinking he’s dead and then leads into this stuff. It lasts for many minutes and he goes into excruciating detail. https://youtu.be/77TqXo0KLrY?t=2679

      If the test are hard then you got issues. The test aren’t supposed to be hard. And if you keep having to take them then again means your not mentally stable.

        Realistically, what would happen if this was the result the doctors agreed on? I don’t believe they would replace him as long as he still has a pulse.

            I would very much prefer him to go to prison but I’ll take him dying. Which part of today can we schedule it in for? Now is good, is now ok?

      He says the test isn’t easy and then talks about a basic animal identification question as an example? Trump’s brain is jello.

      I’ve taken now three cognitive tests

      The final question of the test, written on he back of the paper, is “Don’t go on TV and tell everyone you aced a simple cognitive test”. That’s why he has to keep on taking them.
