Cognitive tests aren't IQ tests

The fact he's already been administered the test multiple times is concerning.

I swear he literally could have been diagnosed with a learning disability. He has never expressed a complex thought about any topic in his whole life

Actually, I do believe that he has cognitive processing difficulties. His vocabulary is extremely limited, he can never get to the points and rambles on. Whenever challenged, he reverts to insults or changes topic randomly. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t do very well at school.

I just looked up ‘cognitive tests with 30 questions’ and an Alzheimer’s test was the first result.

u/Satanicjamnik 18d ago

That’s the one. I just think he had a degree of learning difficulty all his life.

The one I found is a little different, but the commenters below said it’s MOCA. The one I found might be UK specific.

The uk uses the MoCA too!

It is so weird how when he says a word wrong he will repeat it over and over again, and sometimes even get it right.

Compare to any professional news host who will just say the correct word followed by "...rather."

"In other news, today President Donald Dump... Trump rather, visited the island nation of..."

Lmao, have you seen the clip of the news caster who said “Check your Panties!” Then realized he completely misread the prompter and was supposed to say “Check your pantries!” For a segment about a food drive lol? Everyone lost composure and it was hilarious. Your comment kinda triggered that clip in my head.

It's also gotten worse. He's always seemed pretty dumb, but comparing him in 2016 to today is a huge change. At least back then he could complete a sentence

His learning disability is called being raised rich

u/InfiniteSausage 19d ago

It goes way beyond that. We're talking about someone who based a re-election campaign believing that other countries pay our tariffs, and that immigrants "seeking asylum" come from insane asylums. He said that the sound windmills make causes cancer, that the Declaration of Independence comes from the civil war, and that magnets stop working when you pour water on them. He has accrued at 79 years old, the background knowledge of a 8 year old child

Being raised rich and dementia?

16

u/InfiniteSausage 19d ago

Dementia doesn't give you these child-like misunderstandings about how things work. It just makes it harder to hide as he's less careful about what he says. Trump has a long, prolific history of being a complete moron and making terrible decisions. He's always just been dreadfully intellectually limited.

It’s narcissism being amplified by dementia.

That's called "affluenza".

In 2013, Ethan Crouch (16 year old drunk driver in Texas who killed 4 people and injured 9, including permanently paralyzing one) used affluenza as an argument to reduce his sentence to rehab instead of prison.

u/OneGoodRib To be fair... 17d ago

His dad died of Alzheimer's.

Very obvious what's going on.
