Person, Woman, Man...... Camera, TV. You Know the thing... Two candidates who should, based on their cognitive functioning, not be presidential candidates.

The POSPOTUS is so proud about remembering that list. He brags that it's difficult, as though he's excelled at an intelligence test.

The thing is, his repeated emphasis on this does indicate a combined level of intelligence and ignorance.

To continue bragging that you've shown you can pass the most simple test of cognitive functioning, and to think that you've achieved something, is a huge tell that you were afraid you were going to fail. And it sure looks like you've worked hard to practice the list. And even if you can remember the list, to brag about it, as thought it makes you special is an indication of how your malignant narcissism trumps any functionality your IQ may play. I'll say it a bit more clearly. Trump's narcissism is so florid it makes hims say really stupid things.

Given Trump's profound dishonesty, my guess is that his staff got the test ahead of time and they spent time, maybe even days, coaching him on how to pass it. That is truly pathetic. Of course, there's history to hiding cognitive decline. They did it with Ronald Reagan. I think that was treason then, keeping a president who's mental functioning was inadequate in power. And it is treason now.

To be fair, Joe Biden should be given the same test. And both Biden and Trump should have the test, or a version that they can't get an advanced copy of, but someone who has absolutely no connection to their campaigns.

The real truth is, both candidates are terrible. We have the media to blame for Trump being president and we have the horrificly bad leadership of the Democratic party for Biden's candidacy. The best thing for America would be for both of them to step down.
