With election forecasts painting an increasingly grim picture of President Donald Trump's reelection chances, the Trump campaign is mobilizing to portray Democratic nominee Joe Biden as cognitively impaired.


To contrast himself to Biden, Trump has frequently claims he passed a cognitive test administered by Dr. Ronny Jackson called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

The subject came up in Trump's chaotic interview with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, where Trump insisted that the last five questions of the test were extremely difficult. Wallace disagreed.

The topic emerged yet again in another Fox News interview between Trump and Fox's medical correspondent, Dr. Marc Siegel.

Trump said that the memory questions were the hardest, then he proceeded to list random words.

Watch below.

The President relayed the memory test:

"It's like, you will go, 'person, woman, man, camera, TV," so they say, 'Could you repeat that?' So I said, 'Yeah. So it's person, woman, man, camera, TV.'...10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes later, they say 'Remember the first question?'—not the first but the tenth question—'Give us that again, can you do that again?' And you go, 'Person, woman, man, camera, TV.' If you get it in order, you get extra points.

He continued:

"They said, 'Nobody gets it in order.' It's actually not that easy, but for me it was easy. And that's not an easy question."
"In other words, they give you five names and you have to repeat them, and that's okay. If you repeat them out of order, it's okay, but it's not as good."
"But then when you go back about 20-25 minutes later, and they say...'Go back to that question and repeat them. Can you do it?,' and you go, 'Person, woman, man, camera, TV,' they say, 'That's amazing, how did you do that?'"
"I do it because I have, like, a good memory. Because I'm cognitively there."

The President went on to challenge Biden to take the test.

Trump was aiming to put his cognitive abilities on display.

According to the internet, that tactic didn't work.






"Person, woman, man, camera, TV" quickly lit the internet on fire.



Doctors have stressed that the test Trump took doesn't determine intelligence. A perfect score indicates only baseline normal cognitive abilities.

Lisa Kearns is a former city councilor who vacated her Ward 2 seat to run for mayor of Burlington, Ontario, Canada—a city of about 187,000 people on the western shore of Lake Ontario. Kearns discovered several of her campaign signs featuring her photo had been vandalized over the Canadian Thanksgiving (observed the second Monday of October) long weekend.

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico responded after trillionaire Elon Musk claimed "there's something deeply wrong" with him.

Just days ago, news outlets reported that Musk donated $158 million to a Republican super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, in September. The money he donated swelled the coffers of Texas PAC, a group that is backing Paxton, the Texas attorney general. Musk also made a $10 million donation to Lone Star Liberty PAC, another group that has thrown its support behind Paxton.
