It doesnt quite have the ring of Morning in America and I Like Ike.
But the phrase Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. is getting an unlikely moment in the spotlight as President Donald Trump has taken a detour into the politics of dementia three months before the election.
Trump, 74, attempted to demonstrate his mental fitness by reciting five words - in order, importantly - over and over in a television interview broadcast Wednesday night. The Republican president said that collection of nouns, or ones like them, was part of a cognitive test he had aced while declaring that his likely Democratic opponent, 77-year-old Joe Biden, could not do the same.
When Biden was asked about cognitive testing last month, he responded, Ive been tested, and Im constantly tested, before adding, I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man Im running against.
The Biden campaign quickly clarified that its candidate was referring to the rigor of the presidential campaign -- not that he had undergone specific cognitive testing. And a campaign spokesperson wasted no time rebutting Trumps claim on Thursday.
Donald Trump is spectacularly failing every conceivable strategic test by ramping up mentions of this subject at all, said spokesperson Andrew Bates. Joe Biden sounded the alarm about the outbreak early, whereas Donald Trump is still promising us the virus will magically disappear. Joe Biden has highlighted the advice of medical experts throughout the pandemic, but Donald Trump publicly encouraged COVID-19 victims to inject themselves with disinfectant.
And, Bates continued, if thats not enough for you, Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

And it won't be Warren. There is no way that the Democrats put two people over 70 on the ticket.
“He could easily make the statement I posted and add another minute about how using dementia as a political ploy is an insult to those suffering from it and those family members supporting them through it.”
No he could not. Dementia would have a direct impact on the performance of anyone in a position of authority and more so in the position of POTUS therefore it is a valid issue.
Had he picked on something like Biden’s physical appearance or something having no connection to job performance you would be correct.
And it can’t be Kamala after she’s messed up her face.
And it cant be Kamala after shes messed up her face.

She went full botox. Never go full botox.
I wouldn't count her out. Now that she's shown that she wants the job, and it isn't just saying what's expected. Like everyone else she see's Biden as, at best, a one-term president and whoever is his veep has the best shot at replacing him.
Sure he could.
Dementia would have a direct impact on the performance of anyone in a position of authority and more so in the position of POTUS therefore it is a valid issue.
No argument there.
Her face was messed up before botox.
Just look at what happened to Elizabeth Warren. Her career in national politics basically came to an end after Trump's constant ridicule drove her to get that stupid DNA test.
The DNA test confirmed what Trump had been saying for months: that Vladimir Putin had more Cherokee DNA than Elizabeth Warren.
And get this ... Warren was so damn stupid over the whole thing that she actually made those results PUBLIC.
Don't expect Biden to make the same mistake. It's nice to think that the Democrats are stupid but they're not that stupid.
If Biden chooses to answer this, and it's not likely he will unless people start taking it seriously, then his response will be as I said. He will say he took the test. He will say he aced it. And that unlike the President he found it easy, which any person with normal cognative skills should have. Then his people will start asking if Trump is so sharp then why did he find the test so hard?
DEBATE MODERATOR: Mr. Biden, you’ve recently taken a series of cognitive tests. Do you recall any of your “five words?
BIDEN: Uhh, that’s easy, man, so easy. “Roaches. Dogface, Leg-hair. Clean. Pony-sol... Pony-sol...” Uh, the thing, you know the thing!!
I took a test like this about 5 years ago, but not this list. Yesterday I saw a list with red, velvet, church, daisy and one more word which escapes me this morning. That was the list of words I remember even after 5 years, and I am one year older than Biden.
So, did Biden flunk this 5-word test?
"If' LOL!
Why isn’t Biden shown in public and answering unrehearsed questions? He can’t walk, he shuffles, and he can’t speak, he mumbles.
If I were Bidens camp Id have Biden release a statement saying, In order to put the issue to rest, I took the cognative assessment test. I aced it.
It was easy to find too, right next to the comic section.
21 down was a bit hard but I got it after a while...
a five letter word for Hillary!!
-10
Wasnt she born of two non-US citizen parents? WE HAVE TO ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION THIS TIME.
Partisan Media Shills update.
By public shaming. It worked before on Warren and took her out of the presidential race.
OK, so say Biden gets in front of the press and announces, "To put this whole ridiculous matter to rest I have taken the same cognative assessment test that the President took. Like him, I also aced it. But unlike him I found the test to be very easy."
Now who is shamming who?
