are from mental asylums. From his whatever that was today: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."
Still waiting on the NYT headlines about his cognitive ability. Or at least for someone to ask him what in the hell he is talking about.

(55,306 posts)I mean come on! He's was actually boasting about how well he did!
He thought a simple test to see if he's got dementia or other cognitive decline proves he's a genius!
The fact that he mistook a dementia test for an iq test is proof that something is seriously messed up in this dude's head.
Even back to that Hillary debate. "No puppet! No puppet! You're the puppet!" was the most juvenile, stupid comeback ever. What normal adult reacts that way?
His constant stream of admirers who praise him with tears in their eyes and call him "sir".
The man is loony toons, but the media can barely hint that he has a problem with the truth. They'll never come close to saying he has mental issues even if he's an extreme case of a number of psychological problems.

More proof that drumpf is reliably always a blathering idiot, who never knows what he's talking about.

Just once I'd like to see a reporter stand there and say, "Mr. President everything you have just said is insane indecipherable nonsense or a bald faced lie. Would you please give me an answer to the question".
