10. Simple fact that he said, Trump "excelled" at the MOCA is indicative of the stupidity.

It is a screening tool. You either "pass", which means you score enough points to show a lack of mild cognitive impairment, OR you show signs of mild to severe cognitive impairment based on your score below the "passing" threshold. It is a one page test that asks about 12 questions to assess various types of cognitive functioning. The top score is 30 and "passing" is 26/30 or higher. You don't get "style points" and you do not "Excel". You simply demonstrate that you have typical cognitive function or that there is a problem. Obviously, the lower you score, the more significant the problem is.

The fact that Jackson is comparing Trump, and indicating that he somehow showed excellence in a basic screening tool shows that he is either a partisan hack, that his skills as a physician are overstated and poor, or both.

13. Dr. Ronny may want to focus on tRUMP's diminished mental state since he has had the tRUMP Virus.

Just heard on CNN that those who have had Covid-19 may have brain cells diminished or something similar to that and tRUMP had his Virus Cooties bigly bad. Sheesh... tRUMP was already flailing and crashing on a delinquent IQ.

And while Dr. Ronny is at it, he should check himself into a detox center to recover from his substance abuse.

I suppose there are people completely in the Fox Bubble that they will be convinced of it but it's not clear we can do anything about such people.

Ultimately those people will never vote Dem anyway...
