Cognitive Tests Prove Nothing More Than Your Brain is Functioning at the Level of a Three-Year-Old: Let’s Get Serious

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump loves to brag about passing three cognitive tests. He never mentions the reasons behind his doctor’s insistence that he submit to them. He suggested that all presidential candidates be required to take the same test. Let’s get serious.

I believe that Trump and his administration have proven the necessity that all members of our Federal Government take an IQ test. If they fail to receive the average score of 100, they must be sent home and seek care from a mental healthcare professional.

LIKE SHIT, STUPIDITY ROLLS DOWNHILL

Of course, I begin with your illegitimate president. Although he has never been famous for possessing a great intellect, old age, combined with a lifetime mental disease known as malignant narcissism are there for all mankind to see. Every time he speaks it is increasingly evident that both his thought process and ability to pronounce common words have declined drastically. Trump is completely unfit to be your Dictator of the United States of America.

Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were chosen by Trump, not for their talent but for the possibility of becoming his fourth trophy wife. It was inevitable that they would lose favor with the orange buffoon when they failed to serve his every illegal demand.

What can I say about Robert Kennedy Jr. that has not already been said? He lives in his own little fantasy world where he is the all-knowing witch doctor. The damage he is inflicting on America will last for decades.

J.D. Vance has one talent, and one talent only: pandering to his audience. Prior to his selection as Trump’s second Vice-President, he referred to Trump as “Hitler,” denouncing both his fascist plans for our nation’s demise, and his lack of experience and intellect. His only purpose today is to support Trump’s illegal and immoral actions without dissent.

I continue to find the nomination and confirmation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense an affront to every man and woman who ever wore a military uniform. He only credentials were as a raging alcoholic, a sexual predator, and as a criminal who embezzled funds from a military charity he led but was never charged. His war crimes continue to grow in number and severity.

SAVING THE WORST FOR LAST

Little Marco Rubio was a member of the Republican clown car during the 2016 primaries. Known as the laziest and least competent Senator on the Hill, he was constantly assaulted verbally by the least qualified candidate in American history. It was Trump who tagged Rubio with the nickname, “Little Marco.” Rubio’s only retort was “look at Trump’s tiny hands.”

The position of Secretary of State is far too important to be given to a man of such low intellect and incompetence.

A NORMAL MAN WOULD HAVE BEEN ASHAMED AND EMBARRASSED

On Thursday, Rubio was granted an audience with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. He was not invited: Trump made a formal request after he and the Pope exchanged multiple unpleasant exchanges in the press.

The meeting began with an exchange of gifts. Rubio received the traditional cedarwood pen; a symbol of peace. The Pope received a glass football engraved with the symbol of the Secretary of State.

Pope Leo is the first American Pope. He is from Chicago. Anyone who knows anything about the residents of the “second city” is aware that professional sports are an integral part of the lives of every man, woman, and child in the “windy city.”

The Blackhawks are Chicago’s revered hockey franchise. The Bulls have won multiple NBA championships, most led by the legendary Michael Jordan. The city is split between the American League Chicago White Sox, and the National League Chicago Cubs and its love of Major League Baseball. The Cubs hold the advantage.

The entire city adamantly supports one of the legendary members of the NFL, the Chicago Bears.

Robert Francis Prevost was born in Chicago on September 14, 1955. Like most young, American males in his age group, he became a fan of professional sports at an early age.

Why is this important?

Anyone who knows anything about Pope Leo’s past and his passion for the Chicago Bears, will understand that the glass football, engraved with the seal of America’s Secretary of State was very close to an insult. The Bears’ logo would have been far more appropriate. Was it a thoughtful gift?

The Pope’s response: “Wow. OK.”

According to sources, the atmosphere of the meeting, which followed, was less than what Rubio apparently expected.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE LEAST QUALIFIED PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY

One thing we have learned over the last 17 months: intelligence, experience, and qualifications are not necessary to become a president, a Senator, a Representative from the House, or a Supreme Court Justice.

The adage “anyone can grow up and become the president” has been proven twice in our nation’s history.
