After a weekend stuffed with incoherent rants, President Donald Trump declared on Monday that he’s sensible and doesn’t have dementia.
“They’ve [Texas Rep.] Jasmine Crockett, a low-IQ particular person. They’ve—AOC’s [New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] low IQ. Give her an IQ take a look at. Have her go the exams that I made a decision to take after I was at Walter Reed,” Trump mentioned on Air Power One, possible referring to the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation, a easy take a look at to find out whether or not somebody is cognitively impaired.
“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,” he continued. “The first couple of questions are easy—a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions.”
The feedback are particularly ludicrous following Trump’s particularly unhinged weekend.
On Saturday, he introduced a brand new 10% tariff on Canadian imports as a result of the federal government of Ontario aired an anti-tariff advert throughout the first World Collection sport. That advert precisely quoted former President Ronald Reagan’s common stance in opposition to the type of idiotic economy-harming tariffs that Trump has been chaotically imposing since he retook workplace in January.
“Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t!” Trump wrote in a Fact Social publish on Saturday, misconstruing Reagan’s emotions on commerce. “Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
In addition to being largely false, Trump admits in his publish that he’s levying a brand new tariff as a result of he’s mad about an advert—and it may harm his case earlier than the Supreme Courtroom. He’s asking the Trump-bootlicking justices to permit him to impose tariffs primarily based on nationwide emergencies. And it’s onerous to see how a president being mad a couple of TV industrial quantities to a nationwide emergency.
That wasn’t the one insane factor Trump posted to social media over the weekend.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump additionally claimed that former FBI Director Christopher Wray, “Deranged” former particular counsel Jack Smith, former Legal professional Common Merrick Garland, former Deputy Legal professional Common Lisa Monaco, and different “crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration … cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election.”
“These Radical Left Lunatics needs to be prosecuted for his or her unlawful and extremely unethical habits!” Trump wrote on Fact Social.
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray, proven in 2024.
After all, nobody from the Biden administration may have rigged the 2020 election as a result of they weren’t of their roles throughout the election. Neither was Jack Smith, who was appointed particular counsel after Trump misplaced in an effort to examine Trump’s traitorous efforts to stay in energy regardless of his clear defeat. On prime of that, Wray was appointed to guide the FBI by Trump in his first time period.
On Monday, he additionally dominated out utilizing a hypothetical loophole to serve an unconstitutional third time period. The loophole supposes that Trump may run as vice chairman in 2028, then if his ticket had been to win, the Republican main the ticket may resign on their first day in workplace, thereby making the vice chairman—Trump—develop into president.
“I’d be allowed to do that,” Trump informed reporters on Air Power One, concerning the scheme.
When a reporter requested if he was ruling out working for an unconstitutional third time period, he added, “Am I not ruling it out? I mean you’ll have to tell me.”
Given Trump’s demonstrated incoherence, it’s price taking an extended take a look at the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation that Trump took and claimed on Monday is “very hard.”
On one query, the take a look at asks sufferers to attract an image of a clock that depicts a sure time—one thing that’s usually taught in first grade. (I ought to know—my 6-year-old daughter is studying this now.)
It additionally asks sufferers to call that day’s date, establish photographs of animals, recall a brief listing of phrases the take a look at proctor had beforehand recited, and say as many phrases because the affected person can that start with a sure letter.
Once more, Trump considers this take a look at to be “very hard.”
However please, everybody, pat him on the again for figuring out his animals, numbers, letters, and the date. What a giant, sensible boy!
