Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump bragged tonight about passing a cognitive test. It might have been given if he'd had a stroke. [View all]
Tweet from Media Matters news director with video of that part of Hannity's show tonight, Trump on the phone to him:
Link to tweet
Trump tells Hannity that he "very recently" "aced" a cognitive test: "I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised"
If this was recent, it was probably the trip to Walter Reed that was never convincingly explained, the one that many suspect was due to Trump having had a stroke.
I read a number of tweets tonight mentioning that the type of cognitive test Trump's bragging that he "aced" to his doctors' surprise was probably what's given to stroke patients.
Quite a few people on Twitter have been pointing out that Trump's doctors being "surprised" -- his word -- that he'd "aced" a simple cognitive test isn't anything to brag about.
But you can hear how thrilled Trump was to be told he'd aced a simple test. And how convinced he is, in his own deluded mind, that Biden couldn't pass such a test.

My Daddy had mini-strokes. You could see it hit and he would be totally discombobulated.
