7. Could this be further evidence of Trump's cognitive and mental decline?

Wouldn't knowing the words to The Pledge be indicative of a functional mind, information that commonly would be known?

When doctors treating geriatric patients attempt to assess their mental facilities, they ask questions such as what day of the week is it, the year, their age, the name of their spouse and/or their children, their address.

Since most of us have recited The Pledge nearly every school day from Kindergarten until High School, and it really isn't very long, I argue that if Trump doesn't know it, this definitively proves that he isn't mentally fit to write a check, let alone sit in the Oval Office.
