‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ Didn’t Mean What Trump Hoped It Did
The president said on Fox News that he had to remember those words as part of a test that he said demonstrated his mental acuity. But the test, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is meant to detect signs of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other conditions.
Cable television played the president’s performance on a virtual loop on Thursday, and those five words trended online. A group of anti-Trump Republicans instantly produced an online ad mocking the president. T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and other clothing with “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” emblazoned on them were quickly offered for sale. They have in effect become the haiku of the 2020 campaign.
Mr. Biden has the edge upstairs in the view of the public. In a poll by The Hill newspaper with the HarrisX research firm released this week, 56 percent of voters said the former vice president was mentally fit to lead the nation, while just 45 percent said that of Mr. Trump.
Donald Trump once again displayed his lack of mental acuity by mistaking a test for dementia for a test for mental acuity.
Stunts like this is why the public's perception is that it's Trump whose mental fitness is in question, not Biden's.
Calls Mount for Biden to Release Results of Cognitive Test
Calls Mount for Biden to Release Results of Cognitive Test
Joe Biden, who turns 78 in November, appears to be showing signs that he's in mental decline. The voters have noticed as well. Over half of likely voters believe the candidate is probably in the early stages of dementia, according to a recent poll, and some even think he's in the later stages. The Biden campaign had to address the candidate's snowballing number of mental hiccups, confused moments, baffling comments, and overall forgetfulness, so Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he's been "tested constantly" for cognitive decline. Now everyone has questions.
"Such as...where was he tested? Why, exactly, is he being 'constantly tested'? Are his doctors worried about him? Most importantly, when will he release the results of those tests?" asks Liz Peek, in a recent op-ed for The Hill.

Do you know when you are tested? When you are suspected of having dementia or some type of other similar brain malady. It is not a test that doctors give during a normal check up.
I know, my mother had the test administered when she was showing signs of serious cognitive decline.
Couldn't resist.
Seriously, how does she do that? The lip synching is literally ****ing perfect.
