the same one she takes? so not the one that asked him to name a handful of things that conveniently happened to be around him when he talked about it to the press?
Like with a TV Debate with Harris, he won't agree to this, as he knows that he has no chance to win.
I want to see how they would perform on the SAT
How about a high school civics test?
no that's not good enough
It would be funny to see Trump fail it though. The only amendments he knows are 1,2, and 25.
SAT is too much, most Americans remember that as too hard. I would be impressed if Trump just got a passing score on the Smarter Balanced Assessment
i remember when we elected presidents who had phds in constitutional law
It must be wild being in her position, being so overwhelmingly more capable than her opponent, and having to find out how to get stubborn people to acknowledge that and care about it.
Hillary Clinton had joined the chat
Definitely! I honestly had never thought of that because I didn't take Donald Trump seriously until he was projected to win on voting day. I was dumbfounded and blown away. It was a big wake up call for me about how I was out of touch with a large part of America.
Same in 2016. And I fell into the same exact trap this time around thinking 'surely america has moved beyond that imbecile and his base is just weirdo alex Jones types. Surely america isn't about to vote for a literal felon and rapist.'
And now I'm watching daily as he or his peeps say one awful thing or another at rallies and it doesn't move the polling needle at all.
America is fucked regardless of who wins this election.
It's wild that such intense questions like "Can you identify a giraffe?", "Can you draw a clock?", "Can you count backwards by 7s?", and "Who is the current president?" was apparently such a grueling ordeal for Donald that he's still bragging about it years later.
"Who is the current president?"
Yeah that one might be an issue for him..
Can you count backwards by 7s
counting backwards in multiples of 7? i'd struggle with that and i consider myself at least average
0, -7, -14, -22... dangit
It’s probably like field sobriety tests, where how you struggle is relevant. If you miss one in a sequence, that says something different from repeatedly going up instead of down or counting backwards on your hands first.
That's pretty smart. You know he would never do it.
He's just going to say "I'm the smartest person ever to be president, the doctor I paid said so. I took the test already: person, woman, man, camera, TV!"
I've been dreaming of a Trump IQ test forever. I'm almost certain he would be below average. Someone should trick him to do one by saying it's the crypto bro club test that Harris failed or something.
In fairness, "most" people his age would be below "average".
Edit: oh, apparently it doesn't work like that. 100 is supposed to be average regardless of age?
I feel like he'd lie and say he did the test already and he passed it
What color crayon do you reckon he would use to fill in the form?
The perfect crayon. It was the bigliest. It was so pretty, just like my daughter...
New debate idea: instead of political questions, have the whole thing hosted by a panel of psychologists who give a thorough assessment to both candidates live on stage.
At the end, they collectively review all findings and conclude the event by making any diagnosis the data merits.
And their political affiliations would be somehow above questioning?
Have you met our Supreme Court?
She should disguise this test, and throw in basic questions about US history and politics. Trump will fail so hard it won't even be funny.
This is the guy who talked about the continental army in the 1700's invading airports. He's real fucking stupid.
She shouldn't even say this. Cognitive tests are for those showing signs of dementia. That trump took one at all is all that we need to know.
People do "cognitive tests" for all kinds of reasons. The kind for dementia is only one of a large variety of tests that fit in this very broad category.
Shit, I've taken cognitive tests after all of my concussions.
