There may be a worse time to forget your doctor’s name than when you’re boasting about your cognitive powers, but we don’t know what it is
On July 11, Donald Trump will be sentenced after being found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. He’s unlikely to be locked up, but it’s clear he’s getting as much campaigning in as he can in the meantime.
He visited what Fox News described as ‘a black church’.

He told rally attendees in Las Vegas he only cared about their votes.

Then there was the absolute insanity of whatever this was.
Trump is now ranting about batteries and shark attacks. I dare you to try to make sense of this. pic.twitter.com/G2ur6q47Ff

Person, woman, man, camera, TV
But it was particularly satisfying to watch the beautiful irony of Trump insisting that Joe Biden needs to take a cognitive test, then wanging on about his own test from 2020 …and getting the White House doctor’s name wrong.
Lap it up.

The Biden-Harris campaign was right on it.
Trump: I think Biden should take a cognitive test. My doctor Ronny Johnson. Ronny Johnson, do you know him?

Unlike some of the Former guy’s tame outlets, AP spread the news.

Some people managed to stop laughing long enough to leave some hefty burns.

Ronny Johnson? The guy was his White House physician. He’s been at tons of rallies. He went to court with him in NYC. He forgot his name? https://t.co/K1ri3lO98j

The fact that people listen to this bloviating gas-bag without pointing and laughing blows my mind. He took a quick dementia test… he’s talked obsessively about in for years.
He’s a moron and millions think he’s brilliant. https://t.co/KNM1N1byIu

It's hilarious that trump was trying to clown President Biden while bragging about acing a cognitive test that NOBODY brags about, and then calls his doctor Ronny Johnson TWICE.
His doctor is Ronny Jackson.

Literally the funniest thing I've ever seen. Forgets his own doctor's name while bragging about his dementia test results.

TRUMP: You see how many Blacks for Trump there were at my rally? The Blacks love me so much I should be in one of those Steve Perry movies.
AIDE: Tyler, Sir.
TRUMP: Steve Tyler. The whole band love me. Gotta love that Metallica.
AIDE: Aerosmith, Sir.— Mr. Newberger (@jeremynewberger) June 16, 2024

Even if he could remember the guy’s name, it might be a good idea not to remind people of his time at the White House.

The doc is still a loyal Trump cultist, though. He could fix this.
He will change his name to make Trump right by close of business Monday.
