5 words? oh the humanity
And he couldn't even remember them, so he glanced around the room and came up with person, woman, man, camera, TV.
And... recalling the words later on in the test... is part of the test. Uh oh
I do not drink alcohol. The day this guy stops talking I will go to the supermarket and buy a bottle of Champagne and drink it alone.
My wife and I have a bottle of champagne that was a wedding gift. The day it happens is the day we uncork the bottle.
There are better tasting options. A nice cognac, perhaps.
Strawberry shake, even better. Or a mango lassi.
Alcohol triggers two medical conditions I have so I to don't drink anymore. After 6 years without a drop of alcohol, trust me you're better off not having it, just buy some fireworks or something.
I would but gunpowder exacerbates my acid reflux
Gluten free gunpowder, a bit more expensive but worth it once in a while when you want to treat yourself.
Real gunpowder is gluten free
You're thinking of the knockoff brand glunpowder
That's why you have to light the fireworks before eating them. They undergo a chemical reaction when lit and are not longer gunpowder after a few seconds.
If you don't drink, can I recommend basically anything but champagne? Its not good tasting, get a sweet wine or something else instead.
Okay so this is the second time he’s done that right?
He’s confused a dementia test for an IQ test… twice…
Is that not a sign he might have dementia or something? He should at least remember us making fun of him for it the first time right?
This is an honest question btw. Am I’m missing something? It’s happened twice now?
I mean it could just mean he has incredibly low IQ, maybe?
Or both
They could also be lying to him what the test really is because he would refuse a dementia test otherwise.
My Dad passed away from from dementia, and he was deep into it before the tests finally officially confirmed it. Literally EVERYONE around him absolutely knew it, but so much of the test had to do with numbers - telling time, adding numbers, etc. - that he did deceptively good on it. He never had a problem with numbers, right up to the end. He had been a Mathmatics major in college, and was hard-wired for numbers. Even dementia couldn't disturb that. I saw a 60 minutes piece on Tony Bennett, and he was exactly the same way with music.
So just because you pass the test, doesn't mean you aren't already showing strong symptoms of dementia. I've never taken the test, and neither has my mother. You only take it when someone suggests that it's a good idea because you've been showing symptoms. Of Trump is taking it, it's probably because those around him are becoming alarmed at his behavior.
I really think AOC should take him up on this offer and demand it's broadcast live.
a live telacast of everyone in congress doing dementia screenings would be fantastic imo
Doctor: Draw a clock.
Trump: sweating profusely
Just another stupid story to distract from the Epstein files.
Aww bless him, that's just what his people told him the test was for. He doesn't know any better.
😂
😭
Is this consistent misunderstanding of his more indicative of his IQ or his dementia?
Again? 🤦
Remember the halcyon days when this would have automatically been assumed to be an Onion article? I remember...
💯he has dementia.
Mildly amusing dystopia
