Donald Trump's son bragged about his father acing a mental competency test when he was President and the internet immediately gave him a reality check.
Donald Trump Jr. is very proud of his father and any son would be if their father was the President of the United States at one point. According to Trump Jr., his father was perhaps the best of the lot. Hence, he echoed a call from his father that presidential candidates must "take full and complete Mental Competency Test" in order to run for the office.
"He’s 100% right. He did this himself when he was president and he would have no problem doing it again. I don’t think we can say the same about the current occupant of the White House," the 45-year-old wrote in a February 21 tweet.

While there is no hard evidence that Trump Sr. himself has taken the test, he has bragged about it on multiple occasions.
But people weren't convinced. Instead of a Mental Competency Test, the former President is believed to have taken a Montreal Cognitive Assessment or MoCA, which is used to check for signs of cognitive impairments that could be an indication of dementia. Trump Sr. boasted about acing the test by repeating five words―which, in Trump's case, were "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV."
"It is supposed to be easy for someone who has no cognitive impairment," Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who invented the test, told MarketWatch in 2020.
Now, the internet is hilariously roasting Trump Jr. for tweeting about the alleged Mental Competency Test his father supposedly aced. Here we have compiled 25 of the funniest responses for your entertainment. Scroll down and enjoy!
Thats right. He had to remember a bunch of words, right? I think they were:

Imagine bragging that his father was able to identify an elephant in a picture, and he would have no problem doing it again. 🤦🏾♂️

Nearly half of Trump's own cabinet ended up coming to the conclusion that he wasn't mentally fit to serve as president. I have yet to hear that from anyone in Biden's cabinet, or any responsible Republican.

I don't think this is the winning hand that you think it is.
He bragged about being able to identify a f’ng elephant & memorize five words in order, Twitchy.

In the meantime, he asked about injecting disinfectants, stared directly at an eclipse, said windmills cause cancer & that there were airports during the Revolutionary war.

Americans do remember how Donald Trump “aced” his “mental competency test.”

The test would’ve admittedly been trying for any two year old, as it involved repeating “person, woman, man, camera, TV, in that precise order.
That ability is of course, inherently Presidential. <Wink> https://t.co/t9Dm39BMEp
Anyone running for president should release their tax returns …

A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.
I recognize the problem trying to be addressed, but the proposed solution is problematic without stipulation. Who would conduct this test? I can see it being a means to exclude political opponents of those in power.

wrong. One of them stands up to Putin and dictators. The other (your daddy) sympathizes with dictators and hates Democracy. Which behavior and actions shows mental competency? Then ask yourself why your family hates Democracy.

It should also be given at random, like a drug test! ...and oddly enough, for the same reason 🤣
