The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test aimed at detecting dementia or cognitive decline, never included the combination of animals Trump identified this week

    If Trump started talking gibberish at one of his rallies, how would anyone know?

      He did a couple nights ago

      Trump: We’re going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to debank you from your— your political beliefs what they do. They want to debank you. We’re going to debank— think of this. They want to take away your country. Electric cars.

        I work with a guy like this that is in the C suite. Constantly just produces word salad and never finishes a thought, then everyone just looks around like yeah that made sense.

        Nah, that just sounds like his normal incoherent self.

      I mean, he literally has for the past few years.

      News sites have been calling it out and nobody cares.

        I’ve actually found that your typical write-up in the NYT will take whatever word salad the actual speech was, and clean it up until Trump actually sounds like he had a point. A 5 minute ramble on North Korea will be turned into something like ‘Mr Trump vowed to stand up to North Korean aggression’ or whatever, basically just reading tea leaves. If you actually never saw video of him and went off what people wrote, you’d think he’s just your average Republican.
