Is he boasting that he can solve the puzzle in a happy meal? (the real dementia test)

July 23

“Donald Trump is the only person who can talk about a cognitive test but make me feel that I have brain damage. He’s gone from bragging about his historic electoral college win to boasting that he can solve the puzzle in a happy meal?” —Trevor Noah

“It might be the case, that obsessing over a dementia test that you took over two years ago is the real dementia test.” —Trevor Noah

“What makes the whole episode even stranger, is that the neurologist who created the test told the Washington Post that ‘it’s not meant to measure IQ or intellectual skill in any way.’ Performing well on the test merely rules out the person for conditions of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s, stroke or multiple sclerosis. So you see, acing this test does not make Trump a genius. It just makes him a guy who’s desperate for an accomplishment.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
