And at the Villages retirement community in Florida yesterday, he said,

“I took three [cognitive tests]. I’m the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. Didn’t he get into Harvard with a C average? The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions.”

There are signs the political game has changed in the United States since Hungarian voters rejected Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s leadership on Sunday, April 12.

"They should recover their ability to be outraged; more to the point, they must demand that their elected representatives ask questions about the course of the war and whether Trump still has the capacity to fulfill his constitutional duty as commander in chief....

"Democrats are thinking of impeachment all wrong. Rather than seeing impeachment, right now, as a way to remove Trump (which won't happen), it's a way to hold right wingers accountable because they won't remove Trump."

Whatever Means to Call for Trump's Removal, It Is a Tool to Expand Accountability for Iran - emptywheel

Democrats are thinking of impeachment all wrong. Rather than seeing impeachment, right now, as a way to remove Trump (which won't happen), it's a way to hold right wingers accountable because they won't remove Trump.

"Trump’s personal twist—what Pope Leo XIV aptly called the 'delusion of omnipotence'—helps explain not just the Iran war but everything else that happened this weekend, and everything likely to happen between now and the November midterms."
