Donald Trump made a compelling case on Friday as to why people running for president or vice president should be required to take a cognitive exam similar to the ones he’s previously taken and claimed to have passed with flying colors.
In the process, he also proved, once again, that irony is dead.
The president was speaking to seniors living in The Villages, a prominent Florida retirement community, when he explained the pressing need to have the mental acuity of the nation’s future chief executives examined in detail.
And his reason seemed destined to set him up for brutal internet mockery.
“I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he’s got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you’re stuck with a man who’s a moron,” Trump said. “This is not good.”
