Chris Wallace to Orange Shitstain: Cognitive Exam 'Not the Hardest Test’, Involves Identifying an Elephant
‘WHAT'S THAT?’
“The first few questions are easy, but I’ll bet you couldn’t even answer the last five questions,” Trump proclaimed. “I’ll bet you couldn’t, they get very hard.”

Quote:
After the veteran Fox anchor said that’s what the test shows on the web, Trump again complained that Wallace was misrepresenting the exam.

“The first few questions are easy, but I’ll bet you couldn’t even answer the last five questions,” Trump proclaimed. “I’ll bet you couldn’t, they get very hard, the last five questions.”

Wallace, for his part, explained that another question was “count back from 100 by seven,” quickly informing the president that the first step was the number 93.
ROFL. Donny the imbecile.

ROFL. Donny the imbecile.
This insane idiot thinks that if someone isn't tested their case of Covid doesn't count. "If we tested half as many people we'd have half as many cases".

Orange Shitstain consults Bush torture lawyer on how to skirt law and rule by decree
John Yoo wrote memo used to justify waterboarding
Trump keen to use executive orders and circumvent Congress

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-waterboarding

Quote:
Constitutional scholars and human rights activists have also pointed to the deployment of paramilitary federal forces against protesters in Portland as a sign that Trump is ready to use this broad interpretation of presidential powers as a means to suppress basic constitutional rights.

“This is how it begins,” Laurence Tribe, a Harvard constitutional law professor, wrote on Twitter. “The dictatorial hunger for power is insatiable. If ever there was a time for peaceful civil disobedience, that time is upon us.”

Yoo became notorious for a legal memo he drafted in August 2002, when he was deputy assistant attorney general in the justice department’s Office of Legal Counsel.

It stated: “Necessity or self-defense may justify interrogation methods that might violate’ the criminal prohibition against torture.”

Memos drafted by Yoo were used for justifying waterboarding and other forms of torture on terrorism suspects in CIA “black sites” around the world.

FactChecking Orange Shitstain's ‘Fox News Sunday’ Interview

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/07/fa...day-interview/

Quote:
President* Donald Trump’s extraordinary interview with “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, who frequently fact-checked the president in real time, contained a long list of false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims:

The president* claimed other countries, later mentioning Europe, are only testing for COVID-19 if someone is “really sick” and that the “massive” testing in the U.S. “skews the numbers.” But testing data show many countries, including in Europe, have conducted more tests per confirmed case than the U.S.

Trump falsely claimed that there’s “no reason” — “[e]xcept for Nov. 3rd” — for California to pull back on reopening its economy. Multiple states, including California, have concerning trends that public health experts — including those on the White House’s coronavirus task force — say warrant business closures and other precautions.
Trump claimed he “forced” Seattle officials to finally end protests near a police precinct because “they heard” that “we were going in that following day.” Seattle’s mayor said her decision had nothing to do with Trump, who she said never notified her of a plan to send in federal forces.

Trump falsely claimed credit for “the biggest pay raises in the history of our military.” The largest increase in basic military pay under Trump was 3.1%. It was higher than that seven times in the last 19 years — including a high of 5% in 2002.

In the interview, which took place on the patio outside the Oval Office, the president* also repeated numerous bogus talking points, including about presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s immigration proposals, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged “mistakes” and the U.S. economy.

The president* falsely claimed once again that the U.S. has “one of the lowest mortality rates” for COVID-19 of any country, and distorted the facts about the harm caused by the coronavirus.
Lie after lie after lie. Wallace pushed back and fact checked, but not enough (it was Faux "News", after all, though Wallace is the most credible person there).

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Hate to tell you this Donny, your running out of time to outrun the truth. Agent Orange did tell the truth however. Faux News is not working for him, not all of it anyway.

I took a closer look at the cognitive test Orange Shitstain claims to have 'aced'
The test the president* boasted about passing does not measure IQ but is typically used to check for early signs of dementia

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...st-closer-look

This clown clearly has signs of early dementia. Sad! He has no business being the the Oval Office in his condition, besides the fact that he's an incompetent sociopath.

Another Orange Shitstain failure: His campaign against voting by mail
By Jennifer Rubin

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...t-step-voting/

Quote:
President* Trump is out of sync with supermajorities of Americans on a range of issues, from reopening schools to police reform to the Confederate flag. He operates in the right-wing media bubble, absorbing the utterly untrue pablum of talk radio and Fox News’s evening lineup (Disclaimer: I am an MSNBC contributor). It should therefore surprise no one that he is wildly out of step when it comes to voting by mail.

Pew Research released a poll Monday showing nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of Americans favor early voting or absentee voting for “any voter without requiring a documented reason, while a third say early and absentee voting should only be allowed with a reason.” Even 44 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaners — despite a steady diet of anti-absentee voting messages from their party’s leaders — remain in favor of no-excuse voting early or by absentee, along with 83 percent of Democrats or Democratic-leaners.
