15. My late mother-in-law, with diagnosed Alzheimers, "passed"

Sun Dec 21, 2025, 07:57 AM

simple cognitive tests...and yet, she couldn't draw a clock..a very big dementia "tell"...

my question to reporters (and I use the term "reporters" loosely because they do not report they entertain) is why do they not correct the "I passed the cognitive test" narrative with the definition of a cognitive test...a test where there is no pass/fail ...no attaboy, no gold star, no A+++++...a test that evaluates the brain function...thinking/memory/language... a test intended to spot mental impairment...

if liar Trump is somehow telling the truth as to the multitude of cognitive tests, then it's obvious to me his doctors are aware his dementia is incrementally worsening...

and it's also obvious the media is more concerned about access to that bloviating psychotic degenerate then informing the public...
