Donald Trump challenges Nikki Haley to a cognitive test to prove he is ‘sharper’ – and the internet approves this message
When Donald Trump revealed in an interview that he had taken a cognitive function test – sometimes called a dementia test – his ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV’ boast became a meme.
Can't stop watching Trump on the cognitive test:
"The last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question. It’s like you’ll go 'person, woman, man, camera, TV.' So they say could you repeat that? I said, yeah. 'Person, woman, man, camera, TV.' Okay, that's very good." pic.twitter.com/Ggv42oGliu

After several noticeable bouts of confusion or misspeaking during recent appearances, we can’t say we’re surprised that he’s been sent for more tests – which he claims to have passed.

Ahead of the New Hampshire primaries, Trump told Fox News that he is ‘sharper’ than his challenger for the Repubican nomination – Nikki Haley – and wants her to do a test, too, so he can prove it.
Trump: I think I’m a lot sharper than Haley. I'd take an aptitude test and it would be my result against her result. When I heard the word cognitive, you know, I’ve taken two of them now. One with Doc Ronny who is now a fantastic, you know, White House doctor. pic.twitter.com/BiYeL0bqOz

Ironically, his boast included an apparent memory lapse.

Here’s how the non-MAGA crowd have been reacting.

I have great cognitive ok, some people say I have the best cognitive of anybody, I’m so tremendously cognitive that I will struggle to remember that Ronny Jackson has been a Congressman for three years and is not White House doctor… https://t.co/76GwVHjMFZ

At the end… someone on Team Trump needs to tell him that cognitive tests don't measure intelligence. https://t.co/YY6aAJC0OQ

Doctors make you take cognitive tests to see if you have brain damage, not to see if you're smart.

Nikki Haley sucks, but she should absolutely agree to any public head-to-head testing Trump challenges her to, up to and including powerlifting total. https://t.co/9yxOhTojvK

If they make it pay-per-view they could cover the cost of wiping out student loans.
Nikki should do this, set a time and place and dare Trump to show up. All systems go, 100% campaign commitment to this challenge and nothing else. Not joking. https://t.co/07XXbSGYu9
