A video taken during Trump's speech in Ohio showed him struggling to name his social media platform, saying he built "something called trove, Truth Central."

During the same rally, Trump was also heard messing up the pronunciation of the word "drop box," saying what sounded like "drok bok" instead. This was not the first time Trump called drop boxes by this pronunciation. He did the same at his rally in Michigan on April 2.
You know i’m no Trump apologist. But i believe he passed a cognitive test in 2018. if biden takes such a test and passes, i’ll stand by that all day, every day. fair enough?

For a guy who constantly feels the need to tell us he hates Trump, you sure do expend a lot of energy defending him.

Time for another test or just being under the spotlight and making a mistake?


Of Ohio, Trump said: “We’ve endorsed – JP, right? JD Mandel, and he’s doing great. They’re all doing good. They’re all doing good. And let’s see what happens.””

Trump appeared to be confusing JD Vance, a former US marine, author of the bestseller Hillbilly Elegy and venture capitalist, with Josh Mandel, a rival who courted Trump for the endorsement.

i’ve said many times, that anyone who has cameras in their face all the time, will slip up occasionally, no one is perfect.

many many people think there’s more happening here with Biden.

Trump apparently took and passed a cognitive test. Biden hasn’t. That’s a meaningful difference.

Taking a cognitive test would alleviate that concern. I presume there’s a reason Biden won’t take one. I believe i know what the reason is. I believe you also know it.

I've heard far fewer people asking for Biden to take a test. He won't take a test for the same reason Obama wouldn't release his grades/SAT/birth cert. or any other stupid stuff the Rs constantly asked him to do. Funny that Trump always said Obama should release his birth cert and claimed he graduated at the top of his class then turned around and threatened to sue any schools that released those stellar grades.

i’m sure i’m your circles, no one is asking Biden to take a cognitive test.

maybe that should be a requirement for anyone running? anyway, an interesting case could be made for it.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the White House following the death of George Floyd: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?"


Americans are far safer from their own Government with the current administration in the white house .

because those using the Cognitive decline..mantra agree with

"Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?
