Donald Trump
made a compelling case on Friday as to why people running for president or vice president should be required to take a cognitive exam similar to the ones
he’s previously taken
and
claimed
to have passed with flying colors.
In the process, he also proved, once again, that
irony is dead
.
The president was speaking to seniors living in The Villages
, a prominent Florida retirement community, when he explained the pressing need to have the mental acuity of the nation’s future chief executives examined in detail.

And his reason seemed destined to set him up for brutal internet mockery.
“I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he’s got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you’re stuck with a man who’s a moron,” Trump said. “This is not good.”
Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years.

Earlier in his speech, Trump went into great detail about his own
cognitive testing
, which was meant to find signs of cognitive dysfunction and possible dementia, and suggested that not everyone would be able to handle it as well as he did.

“I took three of them, aced all of them, by the way,”
he said of the tests before bragging that he was “the only president to take a cognitive test,” something he claimed former Presidents
Barack Obama
and
Joe Biden
could never pass.
“You know, the first question is very easy. It’s a lion, a giraffe, a bear and a shark. They say, ‘Which one is the bear?’” he explained before adding that the last 10 questions on the 30-question test were challenging.
“A
lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those 10 questions,” he told his audience.
Many people on social media felt compelled to go into full snark mode over the president’s “moron” comment.

We know. He’s president right now.

That would suck. We’d probably have unprovoked wars, high gas prices and all our allies would hate us.

A basic cognitive screen isn’t proof of brilliance, yet Trump always uses it as some kind of flex—it only proves you cleared the lowest bar. The real test is decisions, and those speak for themselves.
