    Isn’t this the second time this exact thing has happened?

        Different thing. During his first term, he claimed to have aced a certain cognitive test his doctors gave him. When questioned about it, it sounds like he got the MoCA test, which you can see here:

        Yeah, that’s not a test an adult takes when your doctor thinks everything in your brain is fine.

        Let’s hope its a trilogy and there’s no reboots.

      They’re going to keep giving it to him to gauge his decline.

      Yep, and despite all that and his first term half the US voters still figured he’d be a great President.

        But he could totally identify which one was the elephant, and didn’t confuse it with the rhino or the camel even once. I’m pretty sure that qualifies anyone to be the bigliest president.

        Yeah, but Biden was just so old. Many people said so!
