Lions and Rhinos and Camels OH MY!

Once again Deranged Donnie has loudly bragged about how well he did on what he said was an “IQ test”. He claimed it was “very hard.” It was the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It’s meant to measure cognitive impairment NOT intelligence. The test looks at short-term memory and executive function. This is a test a healthy toddler could ace.

He took the opportunity to challenge House Reps Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take the same exam, calling them each “low IQ persons.”

Jesus, does he never tire of humiliating himself?

I only mention it BUT…

Jasmine Crockett holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Rhodes College, a J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center and has been awarded three three honorary doctorates.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University cum laude with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Economics and International Relations.

Meanwhile, Trump famously paid someone to take his SATs for him, has been repeatedly named the "dumbest goddam student" by his professor William T. Kelley, and only got into Penn in the first place because his older brother called in a favor.

Diaper Don said “The first couple questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe…” Yeah dude, I ALWAYS confuse lions with tigers, rhinos with elephants, and giraffes with camels. Ummmmmmmm. No.

I took the MoCA a few years ago. It was back when I was in that two year/four neurosurgery hellscape (which coincided with COVID lockdowns and tight hospital visitation restrictions). There were all kinds of different physical therapists coming and going from my room – I guess I was a real mess. I specifically requested that someone give me a damn cognitive test because, with all the stress and the docs opening up my head every other week (or so it seemed), I was afraid that I was losing my mind. I mean, were they taking out more than just those nasty-ass tumors?

The PTs thought I was fine but humored me and administered the test. Yup, my occasional inability to bring a song’s name, a quote or a book title to mind was more about the pressures and anxieties of my, at that time, extra wild life with NF2 than a mental breakdown. Phew. 

In other Prez Putrid news, last Friday, the moldy banjaxed brained toddler approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota but NOT Vermont, Illinois and Maryland. Hmmmmm, whatever could be the difference between those two state groups?

While Trump has approved more disaster declarations than he's denied this year, he has also repeatedly floated the idea of “phasing out” FEMA, saying he wants states to take more responsibility for disaster response and recovery. States already take the lead in disasters, but depend on federal assistance when the needs exceed what they can manage alone.

Trump has also taken longer to approve disaster declaration requests than in any previous administration, including his first, according to an Associated Press analysis. (source) 

No rush on approving aid to folks who’ve lost everything but the clothes on their back, right, you overly comfortable, obscenely rich, warped and vicious, recidivist thug.

Despite favoring Alaska because he’d “won BIG” there in the last three elections, it still took him a week to approve relief funds after the remnants of Typhoon Halong hit the southwest part of the state. 

Maybe only the white parts versus the Yupʼik and Iñupiat towns in Alaska matter to our white supremacist idiot president.
