He hasn’t the first clue what an MRI is. And I very much doubt he would submit to one. An MRI looks for specific problems, it’s not an overall health scan. Every damn day he proves what a fucking moron he is. What was the problem they where looking for Donnie, hmmm? ---

> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > You mean, if the American People are paying for it. I’m happy to pay for any procedure that involves DJT being blasted by ionizing radiation, particularly if it also involves him feeling discomfort. In fact I hear all the other major heads of state get daily CT scans and colonoscopy. They are all laughing at the POTUS behind his back because he doesn’t get them. ---

trump actually brags about how difficult a dementia cognitive exam is? And the same repubs that think Biden’s mind was gone are OK with this? You know, I really hate watching trump videos because that voice and delivery grate on me, so I miss a lot of this. In any other person, I’d be embarrassed for them. But fuck this guy. Can’t wait until he falls face first into his pudding and claims “aren’t I a smart boy, mommy?” on live TV. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > trump actually brags about how difficult a dementia cognitive exam is? Yes, and he’s been bragging about it since the last time he did it years ago. And, not only is he bragging about it, he’s so proud of it, he’s challenged other people (Biden, AOC etc) to take it since he doesn’t think they’d be able to ace it. He thinks he ‘aced’ an IQ test. Someone should ask him what his IQ is. I’m curious as to whether he’d A)Avoid answering the question B)Tell us his IQ is wildly high, ie 150+ or C)Have no concept of what the range of IQ scores is and just pick something that sounds high, like 10 or 1000. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > trump actually brags about how difficult a dementia cognitive exam is? It’s nothing new. Back in 2020, he made the infamous “person, woman, man, camera, TV” comment to an interviewer, claiming that those were the words he was tasked with remembering, that he found it to be an easy test, and he was able to repeat the words “in order,” which was allegedly something that was “not easy.” > **['Person, woman, man, camera, TV': Trump insists cognitive test was difficult](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/23/person-woman-man-camera-tv-trump-insists-cognition-test-was-difficult)** > > US president’s pride in his own mental agility on display during interview in which he lists five things repeatedly ---

In other news, Trump called a group of American troops in Japan ‘good looking’ then, immediately, stated that he doesn’t like good looking people.

Isn’t there a single repub out there embarrassed by the fat fuck? Not one that said “my soul is worth more than this!” Goddam, say what you will about a tan suit, but fuck that fat fuck wears a goddamn trucker’s cap as part of his official wardrobe! He’s a fucking joke. But worse, he’s OUR fucking joke. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Isn’t there a single repub out there embarrassed by the fat fuck? Not one that said “my soul is worth more than this!” The few who have – e.g., Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, etc. – are largely no longer in positions of power. For the rest, power and access to power are too addictive, and fear of being taken down (or physically attacked) by Trump’s supporters are too strong. ---
