    On Air Force One, the president, 79, challenged Democratic congresswomen Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to a cognitive exam. Then, he admitted he recently took one—and struggled.

    “Have [Ocasio-Cortez] pass the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed,” he said. “Those are very hard—they’re really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump.”

      Jfc… Aren’t those tests extremely basic, requiring a modicum of coherent short to long-term memory retention and logic?

          Jesus Christ.

          I try to avoid seeing and listening to this moron, and when I go long lengths without it, I just envision this cartoonishly dumb dumb fuck when I see his name

          Every single time without fail, when I see or hear him again he exceeds the caricature I’ve made up for the dumbest, most selfish, classless, loudmouthed person I’ve imagined.

          Its so on the nose and outrageous that sometimes I think it’s just an act, or potentially a deep fake or something but then reality comes back.
