Donald Trump’s Full Statement On Cognitive Testing For Presidents
Now let’s get into exactly what was said. Because if there’s one thing about Trump, it’s that he delivers his message loud and clear.
Here is the full statement as posted:
“Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race! By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack “Hussein” Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting “ELECTED.” Our Country would be a much better place! I took the Exam three times during my (“THREE!”) Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES — An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he posted.
The statement quickly went viral. And honestly, that’s not surprising. Trump has built a reputation for speaking directly and unapologetically, especially when it comes to political opponents.
However, the mention of both Obama and Biden added another layer. It wasn’t just about policy anymore. It became personal. And that’s exactly why it gained so much traction online.
