President Stable Genius Wants To Challenge Joe Biden To Feats Of Strength, ID'ing 'Camel'

[Zorro]

There is so much going on for us to make fun of, so much important news to very seriously report (and add solemn dick jokes to), but we need you to all pause and look at the gift the Washington Post has given Wonkette.

YES? TELL US ALL OF IT.

The early June meeting in the Cabinet Room was intended as a general update on President Trump's reelection campaign, but the president had other topics on his mind.

Trump had taken a cognitive screening test as part of his 2018 physical, and now, more than two years later, he brought up the 10-minute exam. He waxed on about how he'd dazzled the proctors with his stellar performance, according to two people familiar with his comments.

NO.

The test he bragged about, where he was so proud of how good he was at "identify camel"? He bragged and bragged about getting a 30 out of 30 (which some people don't even know is the same as "100" ) on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which features questions like "What is camel"?

That one. And as recently as earlier this month, Trump was going around the Cabinet Room recounting his exploits, in "identify camel."

Dunno how this can get better, but it can:

He walked the room of about two dozen White House and reelection officials through some of the questions he said he'd aced, such as being able to repeat five words in order.

NO HE DID NOT.

You have to repeat five words in order to take the presidential oath of office! This should not be considered a major intellectual feat!

Dunno how this can get better, but it can:

In recalling it, Trump said he thought presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden would never be able to pass it and suggested challenging him to take the test, said the people familiar with Trump's comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private details.

Oh my God, he wants to challenge Joe Biden to a duel of "identify camel." Can this please take the place of one of the debates? Wonkette would be fine with that. Because in the assessment, Trump also had to draw "clock" and say what do banana and orange have in common (EWWWW PFFFFT GROSS THAT IS NOT "BIG MAC" is what they have in common).

I must say Wonkette has some very clever writers, and the comments can be a real hoot to read, too.

1. K&R for visibility. nt

2. I've been saying for awhile joe ought to challenge him to a push-up contest and an IQ test

Maybe a 100 yd dash and now we could add going up and down a ramp and drinking water.

5. Just challenge him to a golf match for the

Presidency. Trump would jump at it, until he heard that each player is to be accompanied by a PGA referee to ensure there is no cheating, and both players must walk the course. If you don’t finish, you lose.

6. I guess trump is actually a pretty good golfer, don't know about joe

But no cheating would push the pathetic president into a rage and walking 18 holes would kill him. Would need to have a time limit, maybe no more than 10 minutes between shots. T would have a heart attack for sure.

7. It's more the test you'd give grandma to check for dementia

Even then I don’t believe he got a perfect score

8. Wouldn't a perfect score also be getting every question wrong? nt
