Oh, and one more thing about the senility test:

When this giant windbag Said to Chris Wallace you couldn’t answer the questions, Wallace should have taken offense at that. How dare this illiterate brain-damaged Adderall-addled asshole tell a guy with Chris Wallace’s brain and acumen that he couldn’t pass a dementia test? Say what you want about Wallace, he’s anything but dull of mind. He and Shepard Smith were probably the highest IQ people in the broadcast division of Fox News and both of them are quick on their feet and very sharp, Wallace occasionally in a fairly snide, crumby way.

I am surprised Chris took it so well. If I were him, I would have said "Are you insinuating that I am even dumber than you are?!" Because basically that was what he was saying.

Trump could answer "the very hard questions", but he would bet that Chris couldn't. And neither could Joe Biden, when in reality, most 5 year olds could answer all those questions in less time than it would have taken Trump to do it.

He can't imagine that anyone else besides him could have answered those extremely hard questions - which are actually hard only if you have some sort of cognitive impairment. The test is easy if you don't; it's supposed to be easy for anyone whose cognition is normal.

for his questions. trump was already uneasy about how he felt Wallace was treating him. Remember - kill the enemy and win at all costs.
