The big news from President Trump’s weekend interview with Fox’s Chris Wallace is that Wallace challenged Trump’s contention that Biden has agreed to defund the police. (Trump is right; Wallace is wrong. Just saying.) What got some press, although not as much, is Trump’s claim that the standard cognitive test he took was “very hard.” Wallace smugly countered this assertion, as did every Democrat. Trump, of course, will have the last laugh because he’s forcing Biden to take the test.
During the interview with Wallace, Trump pushed hard about Biden’s mental competence (emphasis mine):
TRUMP: And you know why I won’t lose, because the country in the end, they’re not going to have a man who – who’s shot. He’s shot, he’s mentally shot. Let him come out of his basement, go around, I’ll make four or five speeches a day, I’ll be interviewed by you, I’ll be interviewed by the worst killers that hate my – my guts.
*snip*
To the uninitiated, Trump sounds moronic. To those who know how Trump works, he just threw down the gauntlet and Biden’s in big trouble. By saying the basic test is hard, and boasting about his outcome, Trump not only got Chris Wallace to say the test is easy, he got everyone else on the left to do the same:
*Snip*
The entire Trump campaign is now perfectly positioned to say, “Okay, let Biden prove he isn’t mentally incompetent. Let him prove he’s smarter than Trump. Every single Democrat is insisting the test is easy. Therefore, Biden should ‘ace’ it, just as Trump -- who said it was ‘hard’ -- aced it.”

Wow. I assumed it was for discipline...so much energy he had.
The other Biden will take the test. :-)
Cognitive tests don’t matter
Chris Wallace would still be an intern serving coffee and donuts if not for the influence of his daddy Mike Wallace. I never could stand his undeserved arrogance.
That's what you came away with? Mocking dementia itself? He was mocking the fact that the democrats are running a candidate for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES that has dementia, and some people are covering it up in order to garner votes. He also mocked people that would knowing vote for a dementia addled candidate. Wake up DoodleDawg, you are better than that.
“Gee, your hair smells terrific”
Might be Bidens motto.
How about Trump challenges biden to a round of golf.
If that’s what it takes to overcome the propaganda machine then so be it. Nobody else is going to tell the truth about it, including you.
Trump says he doesn't want to say Biden is senile and then goes no to say it without saying it. So then the Democrats can fill in the blank for him? That's the plan?
The test will not work...He will be given the answers to work from...
Just as big Media ABCCBSNBCMSNBCCNN will give Sleepy Joe the debate questions ahead of time, and a special earpiece plus secret video display in the lectern...Just like the Hildabeast!
That's my question. Really?
He’s not mocking dementia and such. He’s mocking Joe Biden’s dementia. There’s a very significant difference.
Bye-done has claimed that he has the mental and physical stamina to do what is clearly a very difficult and demanding job, even for a much younger and healthier individual.
Bye-done needs to prove it, and Trump is challenging him to do so.
The issue is far too important to let it be swept under the rug.
Biden isn’t going to “walk into this trap.”
Give me a break.
Is that really the path that Trump wants to go down?
So how is that going to play with all the voters who actually watched relatives suffer through dementia?
Yes. Your concern trolling is noted.
Now Joe has to decide what to do. Try to steal some votes away from President Trump by standing with the police and thereby risk losing the support of his crazy defund-the-police constituents or come right out and admit he does want to defund the police and thereby risk losing the support of any wobbly Trump supporters to whom law and order are paramount.
