Donald Trump Humiliates Himself

BREAKING: Donald Trump humiliates himself in an Oval Office meeting with the President of Finland by ranting about his “perfect score” on a pathetic cognitive exam — and this time he dragged Barack Obama into his rotted brain rambling.

Dementia Don has struck again on the world stage…

“But I also did a cognitive exam, which is always very risky, because if I didn’t do well, you’d be the first to be blurring it,” said Trump, slurring the word “blurring” which didn’t even make sense in this context.

Alexander Stubb, the President of the Republic of Finland, was sitting right beside him and looked visibly uncomfortable throughout.

“And I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he’s almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. I got the highest score,” Trump continued, sounding like an eight-year-old bragging about a gold star on his report card. “And, uh… That made me feel good.”

“When they asked, would I like to do one, I said, ‘yeah.’ I said, did Obama do it? No. Did Bush do it? No. Did Biden do it? I definitely did… He… Biden wouldn’t have gotten the first three questions right,” Trump went on, stumbling over his words. “No, Biden didn’t do it.”

“Biden should have done it. I’m actually a person that believes that if you’re president, you should do a cognitive exam,” he went on. “But last time I took a cognitive exam and it was a perfect score.”

“The doctors announced it uh… And by the way, not the easiest test. The first few questions are pretty easy,” said Trump. “Once you get into the middle, it gets a little trickier. And there aren’t a lot of people in this room that would get every single question right. I can guarantee you.”

“You’re putting me in a difficult spot now,” Stubb interjected into the bizarre rant. “Next question.”

Trump then dropped the issue. As has been repeatedly explained by experts, there is nothing impressive about passing the cognitive exam in question despite Trump’s strange fixation on it. It involves remembering simple words and identifying animal shapes. Unless an individual is in a state of profound cognitive decline, it should pose them no trouble.

According to neurologist Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, the man who designed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment that Trump bragged about acing back in 2020, it’s supposed to “be easy for someone who has no cognitive impairment.” He has stated that is is “not an IQ test or the level of how a person is extremely skilled or not.”

Ironically, by going on and on about this cognitive test Trump succeeded only in further fueling the speculation that he is in fact in cognitive decline. A person with a strong, working mind doesn’t go on long, incoherent tangents about how mentally fit they are.

‘A nation of Constitutional law’

Karin Immergut, a federal judge appointed by Trump, said this last weekend that the administration’s justification for deploying California National Guard troops in Portland was “simply untethered to the facts.”

“This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs,” Immergut wrote, chiding the Trump administration for attempting to circumvent a prior order from her against a federal deployment to the city.

“This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition,” she added: “This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

The Insurrection Act gives the president sweeping emergency power to deploy military forces within the United States if the president deems it is needed to quell civil unrest. The last time this occurred was in 1992, when California Gov. Pete Wilson asked President George H.W. Bush to send federal troops to help stop the Los Angeles riots that occurred after police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.

On Monday, in an interview with CNN, Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, suggested that the administration would continue working to sidestep Immergut’s orders.

Donald Trump seems to believe he has absolute power.

Things to Remember about Charlie Kirk

Kirk spread hate!

Kirk was known to be a gun owner himself and regularly spoke out on the issue, including on behalf of the National Rifle Association in the aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018.

At a Turning Point event in Salt Lake City in April 2023, he said, “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”

Kirk adopted a traditional Christian conservative stance in his approach to many contemporary issues, telling an audience at a Trump election rally in Georgia last fall that Democrats “stand for everything God hates” and adding: “This is a Christian state. I’d like to see it stay that way.”

He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

Generally Kirk was loyal to Trump, whom he saw as key to establishing the conservative Christian America he wanted to help realize, one in which abortion is heavily restricted to cases of medical emergency in which the mother’s life cannot be saved by any other means, women enter higher education to find husbands and “woke” ideologies play no part in public life.
