Trump could eat his own dirty diaper on live TV and his supporters would say he's just doing 5d chess.
Its good to not play ball with this nonsense as this is the "obams birth certificate" guy.
-
Or as I like to put it: He could be in bed with a live boy, a dead girl, a half-eaten puppy, a half-eaten kitten, and then take a massive diarrhoea dump in the middle of the bed on live TV, and his supporters would still support him.
-
Dump: sharks, battery electrocution, so many dead birds, flushing toilets 15 times, MIT person woman man camera very big a-brain, bing bing bong bing loads diaper loudly
Trumpanzees: Hooray golden god, piss in our mouths!
Fucking cultists

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee referred to Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for part of his presidency, as "Ronny Johnson.” The moment came as Trump was questioning Biden's mental acuity, something he often does on the campaign trail and social media.
“He doesn’t even know what the word ‘inflation’ means. I think he should take a cognitive test like I did," the former president said of Biden during a speech at a convention of Turning Point Action in Detroit.
I feel like we should make trump compete on "are you smarter than a 5th grader". I mean, the whole accusation-is-projection thing. You know. Like how stupid people always think they're the smartest in the room.... he doesn't know what inflation is... so of course Biden doesn't know, either.

I've often thought it would be informative to have candidates take the citizenship test.
-
For example, sitting down with a class of children to join them in coloring a picture of the US flag?

I was thinking the actual game show
I mean it’s depressing, but also, entertain me.

OP, you reversed the names in your post. You had me questioning my own recollection of that quack.

Yup. Trump refers to Ronny Jackson as Ronny Johnson.
From the article:
Seconds later, he continued, “Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately."
Jackson was elected to Congress in 2021 and is one of Trump's most vociferous defenders on Capitol Hill.

All of this would be the funniest shit ever if it wasn't so dangerous to world politics.

We live in a time when presidential candidates challenge each other to cognitive tests.

This is the type of subtle "bothsides"ism that I actually give kudos to. It's not as blatant as saying "they're both equally bad" or "they're both old" or "they're both [anything]". It's pretending to be dispassionate, just a neutral observation, just "oh wow, the times we live in". Oh so subtle. "Presidential candidates", not "a Presidential candidate". "Challenge each other", not "challenges the Democrat".
And not a word about the central focus of the article, that Trump is clearly off his rocker.
It's like textual judo. Deflect from the primary purpose: Trump is a fucking whacko --> we live in a time. Equivocate: Republicans are making shit up --> candidates challenge each other.
Bravo. You're a rare troll. That was eloquent.

Trump, the guy who twice said Nikki Haley was Speaker of the House on Jan 6th?

You mean convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist Trump.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former president and presumptive Republican nominee referred to Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for part of his presidency, as "Ronny Johnson.” The moment came as Trump was questioning Biden's mental acuity, something he often does on the campaign trail and social media.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment that Trump took includes remembering a list of spoken words; listening to a list of random numbers and repeating them backward; naming as many words that begin with, say, the letter F as possible within a minute; accurately drawing a cube; and describing concrete ways that two objects — like a train and a bicycle — are alike.
During the same speech in Detroit, Trump also referenced a video clip widely circulated online in Republican circles where Biden is seen during the recently concluded Group of Seven summit in Italy watching skydivers land with flags from different nations.
A cropped version of the video shows Biden stepping away from the leaders, turning his back and walking in the other direction.
Trump nonetheless seized on the video clip, falsely describing Biden turning around "to look at trees," drawing laughter and hoots from the crowd.
The Biden campaign issued a statement dismissing the clip as misleadingly cropped and accusing those disseminating it as “tampering with the video to make up lies.”
The original article contains 500 words, the summary contains 222 words. Saved 56%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Randy Johnson would've been funnier

It's pretty obvious to me that Trump is looking for ways to get out of the upcoming debates.
His committed voters aren't going to change their minds, and he's got a good chance of losing votes if he goes on stage and makes a fool of himself.
That's a bit redundant
I get annoyed when people blame 'the media' for Trump getting elected.
The media reported every stupid and/or horrible thing he said, and his voters chose to ignore it.
I never thought he would debate. He refused to before because he knows it makes him look incompetent so why would he?
I doubt he's able to acknowledge to himself that they make him look incompetent. Narcissists have trouble recognizing their own faults.
Not even that it makes him incompetent. He's lazy.
I could totally see him agreeing to a debate format same as last time, but apparently he agreed to a debate format where your mic is cut off after your time is up? I never thought he would agree to that and Im not surprised he's trying to get out of it.
