My tweet on Trump's dementia test


?s=20



Amazing how far the presidency has deteriorated in only a few years:Trump is ENDLESSLY bragging about passing a simple dementia test.

I don't remember Obama bragging for days winning the Nobel Peace Prize, do you?

at the same time Dr. Ronny Jackson said he was 6'3" and 236 lbs. and could live to be 200. I wonder how he'd do on that test now? He's been deteriorating in the last two years from an already-low point.

medical marvel - he was listed as 6'2" for years before his White House physical.

And, the reality is that Donny is like 6'0" or so

...the shoe at all. And, that looks like a bit of a thick heel. No wonder he can’t walk well.

Obama was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, a prestigious achievement for any law school student. Nor did he brag about the fact that he as smart enough to be a Senior Lecturer in Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. Trump acts and speaks as though the highest grade he achieved was 8th grade in comparison to both Obamas. Michelle graduated cum laude from Princeton and then earned a JD from Harvard. I want to have a smart president again instead of a megalomaniac.

Bill has a JD from Yale and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.

Hillary also has a JD from Yale.

donny got into Fordham out of high school - a pretty good school, but nowhere near the level of Yale.

He then was able to transfer to Penn because they hoped Fred Trump would donate big dollars to them.

especially Donald...While no one was surprised that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

One is a measure of electrochemical function by sentient mammals. The other is the measure of a life dedicated to meaningful thought and selfless action for the good of others.

Nor was he ever petty or vengeful.

He is everything Trump never was, isn’t now, and never will be.
