Trump: "I took the Exam three times during my ('THREE!') Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES"

Trump announced on Thursday that he has served three terms as president and bragged about passing his cognitive exams — something he thinks all presidential or vice presidential candidates should be "forced" to do.

The boast about his mental fitness came amid a flurry of Truth Social posts in which he inaccurately referred to having served a triple term as president. Trump has only served two terms as commander-in-chief.

He also unleashed insults at former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, whom he has often targeted via social media rants.

"Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race! By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack 'Hussein' Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting 'ELECTED.' Our Country would be a much better place! I took the Exam three times during my ('THREE!') Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES — An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

He seems incapable of keeping his mouth shut. I wonder what kind of madness is going on inside that brain of his.

The Dotard, in his dotage, is forgetting that most people's doctors deem them not in need of cognitive testing. The fact of the test itself is saying something, Dotard.

Who made you take the dementia test 3 times? Why did they make you take the dementia test 3 times? What were they concerned about? Do you have another dementia test scheduled?

So, in his diseased, traitorous mind, this is his third term.

Jen had fun last night

MS NOW's Jen Psaki kicked off Thursday night's edition of "The Briefing" by ruthlessly mocking the House GOP's latest rebranding attempt to try to stave off defeat in November.

"It seems like little Mike Johnson has finally, finally settled on his pitch for the midterms," said Psaki. "He has managed to boil it all down to one simple message."

"House Republicans continue to deliver for the American people," said Johnson in a clip. "We will continue to do that for the remainder of the year, and that is a large reason why we are going to win the midterms, so that the grown-ups can stay in charge here."....

"I think Ukraine, militarily, they're defeated," said Trump. "Okay, you wouldn't know that by reading the fake news, but militarily, look, their navy, so they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. They have no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft apparatus other than what they may have put there — they may have brought in some light stuff during the ceasefire."

"Ukraine is defeated," said Psaki. "That's what he said. All their ships are underwater. Think you mean Iran? Their pal Iran. See, Donald Trump doesn't even know which war he's talking about."

"So I'm going to put this in terms I think he can probably understand," said Psaki. "Donald Trump started a war with Iran. That war with Iran has made the price of gas go up. And gas is the thing that makes cars go zoom. Got it? And thanks to the war Trump started with Iran, Americans have spent the last two months watching the price at the pump climb higher and higher."
