YIKES! Trump Admits His Dreams of Dictatorship, While Bragging About ‘Acing’ a Dementia Test

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been all too apparent to anyone paying attention for the past few years. He clearly has no respect for the law or the Constitution or the principles upon which this nation was founded. And his flaming narcissism fuels his lust for the sort of unchallenged power of his idols (Vladimir Putin, Kim Jung Un, Xi Jinping, etc.).

Donald Trump, Padded Cell

Trump’s affinity for tyrants and tyranny has always been evident in his behavior. But during a speech before the ultra-rightist Heritage Foundation this week, Trump explicitly articulated his desire to be a dictator. His reasoning was typically incoherent, but the the message he delivered to the enrapt audience of uber-conservatives was unambiguous:

“First they said not too smart that I did that. Then that all went away. I really did that. I said ‘Doc Ronny, I gotta take a test.’ The problem is that this is essentially a public place. One of the great hospitals of the world, right? But you have a series of doctors sitting here. He said ‘If you do badly the word’s gonna get out.’ I said ‘I know that. How tough is it?’ He said ‘It’s very tough.’ I said ‘Oof. Let’s give it a shot.’

“And I did it in front of a panel and we aced it. And one person said ‘That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone ace it.’ So isn’t that nice? So all of that stuff stops, okay. It was very nice. But then they made me a dictator instead. I don’t know, which would you rather be, a dumb person or a dictator? Perhaps a dictator would be better. I don’t want to be a dumb person.”

So Trump would rather be a dictator than a dumb person? The first thing he needs to learn is that those two things are not mutually exclusive. And he already has the dumb part down. But his juxtaposition of intellect and tyranny isn’t surprising. He recently praised Putin as a “savvy” “genius” for his genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

However, Trump’s utterly illogical pathway to this viewpoint is characteristic of his trademark asininity. For some unfathomable reason he thought it would be wise to remind people of his humiliating dementia test. The one where he was proud to be able to identify an elephant from a picture, and recall five words. He couldn’t even think of five words that weren’t immediately around him at the time (person, woman, man, camera, tv).

Of course, the test wasn’t tough at all. It wasn’t an IQ test. It was a test given to people who were being evaluated for simple cognitive deficiencies. And his account of having astonished everyone because he “aced” it is just one his infamous fantasies. He even references his disgraced doctor – now Texas congressman – Ronny Jackson, who gushed that Trump “has incredible genes” and “might live to be 200 years old.”

Trump’s preposterous dementia test boasting is hysterical, but harmless. However, his dictatorial ambitions are serious and warrant concern. That’s especially true because the obedient sycophants in his Republican Party, such as GOP House leader Kevin McCarthy, are too cowardly to defy him should he try (again) to seize power. So that leaves it up to the people to do in 2022 and 2024 what they did in 2020. Trump and every corrupt Republican must be defeated at the ballot box for the sake of democracy.

  1. Sonny B., well they did it again (Twitter) I was getting so sick of reading Lauren Boebert’s stupid comments. So, I called her stupid, and if she didn’t want to get vaccinated, she could get covid. According to Twitter, I threatened her. What do we do with these two idiots-Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert? I say, don’t read them. You won, Twitter. Does it make you feel good to be on the side of those two morons? Now, Trump, if he says he aced an IQ test, is a genius, or whatever, no one of his sycophants question him? Or are all of them “stupid”, also? So he can name an elephant or five words in a row. He may have proven that he isn’t demented, but it won’t take long.

    • How on earth could Twitter consider that which you said to be a threat??! Puh-leeze!
      For 1 thing, if she’s refusing to get vaccinated against Covid & was vaccinated against polio, whooping cough, etc., she is stupid. It is political drama, led by vaccinated Rethugs, to further divide “the people” & see how much they can get their voters to do w/o question. GOP are willing to have 1,000’s of people get ill, spread deadly virus & die, in order to make Biden look bad — project Trump’s ineptitude & failures onto Biden. So stupid is GOP Party nowadays.
      Your predicting that if not getting the shot, she will get Covid, is hardly a threat! The threat is people who don’t vaccinate, don’t mask-up & do not test, refuse to isolate & think they have the right to be out in public, infecting others with new Covid variants ~ now that’s a threat! It could kill people like me to get a Covid variant there’s no vaccine against. Immune system disorders can change everything. Tho fully vaccinated for whatever there’s vaccines for, I have to wear a mask cuz’ people like her are running around unvaccinated & too selfish to wear mask, test &/or stay home if sick. Plus, goes on social media bragging about not getting free vaccine that saves lives. Who’s the threat? She is!
      There are large # of adults who are afraid of needles/shots – many are “tough guy” types, won’t admit it. I think alot of anti-vaxxers are really just scared of needles!?!

  2. Yikes indeed! Am saving this one to Tweet the next time the Rethugs get going on Biden’s alleged dementia! And my word, Greene Margarine aka Marjorie Taylor Greene, the infamous mega-Thug is getting a hard time today! Yes! Hopefully her conviction and getting booted off the ballot will pave the way for charging Strumpf with treason and insurrection…’Tis a dream I have…
