Kamala Harris says she'd take a cognitive test; challenges Trump "to take the same one"
Vice President Kamala Harris, responding to former President Donald Trump's claims about her IQ, said she would take a cognitive test — and "would challenge him to take the same one."
I've always wondered why this isn't standard procedure for Presidential candidates.
Because it's not a constitutional requirement. It used to be tradition to release your tax records too until Trump stopped doing it.
I imagine that no Republican candidate moving forward will ever put out their tax records as a result.
I think the tax records thing only started with Nixon.
I don't think this will help much, even if the outcome is what most think it will be. There are already lots of radicalized people within the right-wing fascist bubble who will not believe anything that scientists, doctors, journalists, intellectuals, or people from a different political spectrum say. They only believe what their own bubble and their own media/leaders say. They are unfortunately already so far removed from any sort of objective fact-based reality that re-education will take a long time (maybe for the rest of their lives) and will not happen in time for the current elections in USA. Also, their rhetoric has already become quite 1930s Nazi-like. They are already using various dehumanizing or demonizing terms for their perceived "enemies", like vermin or low-lifes. It will probably become worse over time, and since the rhetoric is already bad, it's likely that violence will be the next step for them.
Maybe, but he keeps saying he wants her to do that.
I would love to see it streamed/televised live in primetime in split screen so you can see them both doing it live so conspiracy theorists would have to really work at coming up with an excuse for Trump. Any other way Trump would afterwards just make up an alternate reality where he "aced" a dementia test.
I know he would still lie afterwards, and try and discredit the test, but people would have access to the video evidence, which is also the reason we have a better chance of him releasing his tax returns.
They'll just claim it was a deep fake
He has been planting the seeds for this. I'm sure it's also part of his disinformation campaign should he win, when people start showing video of him and his campaign doing horrible things, like trying to use the National Guard/Military against US citizens for instance.
He’d do it with a trash doctor.
He can do it with Stella Immanuel and she can say his bad results are because he sucks Satan off too much or some other BS.
Holy shit I forgot about Stella "demon semen" Immanuel. Bruh this timeline.
An exercise in futility if ever there were one.
The real point, of course, is just to have a quick talking point to swat away stupid questions about "Trump says you're low IQ. What're you going to do about it?" He would never publicly release anything medical that didn't come from a doctor (or "doctor") 100% in his pocket.
That's a sick looking jacket!
