Days after a gaffe-filled speech in D.C., Trump continued attacking Biden’s flubs and reiterated his call for candidates to undergo cognitive tests.

    “We have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and who is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war,” Trump said. “Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.”

    Obviously, Trump meant to say “World War III.” Insisting that we’re on the brink of another great war, and maybe even nuclear annihilation, has been part of his stump speech for months. But that isn’t the only line he flubbed. At another point in the speech, Trump seemed to mix up Biden and Barack Obama, suggesting he’s currently leading his predecessor in the 2024 polls.

    Lol.

    A cognitively impaired Trump thinks a ‘Cognitively Impaired’ Biden May Cause ‘World War II’

      Imagine being so cognitively impaired that you accidentally time travel.

      The question becomes does America want a time travelling president? I mean I assume that they would, but I’m not American so what do I know.

    His base already denies the holocaust, might as well just deny the entire war ever happened so he doesn’t get accused of plagiarism, too.

      Aren’t some states trying to do that in the US? But with a lower limit instead of an upper limit to prevent the “woke millennials” from taking office?

        a biological age limit

        And it’s called death.

        Basically, while you have to be 35 to run for president (and be a natural-born citizen of the US and be a resident of the US for 14 years), there’s no age cap on running for president. It’s been that way ever since George Washington became president, and changing that would require an amendment to the US Constitution.

          you should have to be within 10 years of the median age of the country to run for president, to ensure you are actually in touch with the country you are going to govern, and the people in it, and the problems they have.

            The “issue” with that is that, typically, most elected officials work their way up the ladder. Generally speaking, first, they’re mayor of a city, then governor, then they typically run for a federal office, be it president or congressman/ congresswoman. If they run for Congress, there’s a chance they may run for president later down the line.

            There are other options to pick from in a climb to the top, so this is just a general idea. Basically, they have to make a name for themselves on the national political stage before they have a chance at winning the presidency. So that’s what they try to do when working their way up the ladder.

              Funny, it didnt stop Bill Clinton, or Obama, or Kennedy, from achieving office while being within roughly 10 years of the median age of the country, or having names for themselves.

      Maybe some IQ one as well - it doesn’t have to be too high, something like 60 would already filter out this idiot…

      I quit a little over 4 years ago. Since then we’ve had a pandemic, riots, war in Europe, too many natural disasters to name, and no real improvement on the horizon. I’m starting to wonder if my drinking was holding this world together.

      Well, between wars, the rise of the far Right (again), climate change and the utter fucking up of the world economies by the ultra rich, now would be a good time to start.
