Harris says she'll take cognitive test, challenges Trump to take the same exam

Source: USA Today

Vice President Kamala Harris challenged her 2024 opponent former President Donald Trump to take a cognitive test, after saying she would take an exam as well.

Trump called for Harris to take and "pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility," in a post on Truth Social earlier this month. He alleged at the time, "she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions."

Harris hit back in an interview over the weekend.

"This is what he has resorted to, and I think he actually is increasingly unstable and unhinged and has resorted to name calling because he actually has no plan for the American people," Harris told CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell while on the campaign trail in Kalamazoo, Michigan, agreeing to sit for an exam and calling on Trump to take the same one.

He’ll have a concept of an idea for a plan to make an appointment to get a referral for a suggestion that he take a test. 😂

This reminds me of when Obama had to show his birth certificate to Donald. When the black man had to show his papers to the white man , the white man still didn't think his papers were legitimate.

10. Or maybe the WASSUP? or Sanford and Son Bidet tests.

Just a thought. Nothing, however, could top last night's grievance-fest. Remember the "Summer of Love"? (Some of us are old enough to recall that blissful time, albeit through a cloud of happy smoke.) Last night will be remembered as the "Night of Hate." Or maybe just "Fright Nite!"

Each in an isolated booth with radio frequency interference to block ear device usage.

Camera angle above and from front so that the test is clearly shown as it is being filled out and so that expressions can be seen.

One of them will get a better score.

One of them will fill it smoothly and quickly. The other will stall on some things before filling an answer with a perplexed expression and take longer partly due to going back and changing answers.

One of them will agree to these kind of conditions and the other will never agree to any conditions; proving his boasts are as always as empty as the bird nest on his head.

for the American people. It's called Agenda 47 and Project 2025. And none of it is good for us. Beyond that, it's whatever pain he can inflict on all of us for all the decades of being derided and ostracized by the hoity-toity community he so desperately wanted to join.

Otherwise, we'll get the usual "dog, cat, Haitian, Nazi" note from Trump's best doctor.

Have someone from the campaigns watching, in the room, so no shenanigans. My guess is Trump will have some sudden health thing and be unable to participate, but we'll still get a doctor's note that he's fine, the finest brain ever, shut up about it.
