Donald Trump left internet users confused after bragging about how many cognitive tests he has taken, with many wondering whether it was part of a Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch.
The subject came up as, amid so many questionable decisions, Americans continue to wonder whether Trump is truly of sound mind. It is not the first time the American president has talked about his cognitive tests, but he recently addressed the topic again.
“Whenever they get a little fresh, like: ‘Does he still have what it takes?’ I say: ‘All right, I’ll take another one.’ And they’re hard… There are a lot of people in this room that I know who are smart, they won’t [get everything right],” Trump said.
“The first question is very easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator and what’s another good one, a squirrel, OK? Which one is the squirrel?”, the American president said, a revelation that left internet users quite confused.
“‘Every time someone says I’m stupid, I take a test where I point to pictures of animals and say which animals they are.’ It is not the flex he thinks it is,” argued one X user. “His obsession with these tests is now officially concerning,” said another.
“How is this not an SNL sketch? How is this real? How can anyone with an IQ above 60 support this man or think he is anything other than insane?”, a third user analyzed. “He sounds so stupid when he brags about this,” another wrote.
