\"Donald<\/p>\n

Recall that this advice being offered on sound psychological status is coming from the guy who believes that stealth fighters are actually invisible, that windmills cause cancer, that hurricanes should be nuked, that George Washington\u2019s Army took over airports, and that injecting bleach will cure COVID. It\u2019s not exactly a record of cognitive fitness.<\/p>\n

Undaunted, Trump took to his floundering social media flop, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, to deliver his opinion<\/a> on how presidential candidate’s qualifications should be considered…<\/p>\n

“ANYBODY running for the Office of President of the United States should agree to take a full & complete Mental Competency Test simultaneously (or before!) with the announcement that he or she is running, & likewise, but to a somewhat lesser extent, agree to a test which would prove that you are physically capable of doing the job. Being an outstanding President requires great mental acuity & physical stamina. If you don\u2019t have these qualities or traits, it is likely you won\u2019t succeed. MAGA!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump is right. Without those qualities you won’t succeed as president. In fact, he’s living proof of it. Now, perhaps the most sanity-challenged political figure of modern times wants his peers to be tested in order to be regarded as fit to serve. It’s likely that he thinks that a test he took previously – that was administered by a “doctor”<\/em> who was hopelessly infatuated with Trump<\/a><\/strong> – sufficed to qualify his own candidacy.<\/p>\n

However, that was not a “full & complete Mental Competency Test.”<\/em> It was a simple test given to people who were being evaluated for early onset symptoms of dementia. It required him to identify an elephant from a picture, and recall five words. And we still don’t know whether he passed that test, other than by his own account, which is hardly believable. Plus, it was five years ago, when he was a sprightly 69 years old.<\/p>\n

Trump is also not exactly a specimen of physical prowess. He needs two hands to drink from a glass of water. He can’t walk down a low incline without help. He mocks President Biden for riding bikes, while he won’t play a round of golf without his golf cart. And he refuses to exercise because he believes that it depletes the scarce resources of energy that you are born with.<\/p>\n

It’s also notable that in his remarks, Trump narrowly defines those who should take the competency tests. According to Trump they should only be given “simultaneously (or before!) with the announcement that he or she is running.”<\/em> Which is a sneaky way of excluding himself, since it is already well after he announced.<\/p>\n

It’s also interesting that Trump is taking this position just a few days after his first announced opponent for the GOP nomination, Nikki Haley, declared that all politicians over 75 (which includes Trump) should be tested for mental fitness. In fact, her entire impetus for running is that she is younger than Trump. Which Trump, in his psychologically stable state of mind is taking exactly as you might expect…<\/p>\n
