Doctor That Wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ Says He Would Recommend Dementia Tests For Trump
Doctor Who Wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ Says He Would Recommend Dementia Tests For Trump
Edit: changed the title from the site to say "Doctor That ..." instead of "Doctor Who ..."
I had to read the title multiple times before it became clear this has nothing to do with Doctor Who...
Oh boy!
“I’m not 80, and I’m not that close to 80,” said Trump, who is 20 months away from turning 80. “I’ve done cognitive tests. I’ve done them twice, and I aced both of them, and the doctor in one case said, ‘I’ve never seen anybody ace them.’”
He aced a test that only shows... Fuck here's the test:
Recite these words back to me: person, woman, man, camera, TV
Harris could hammer that one home! "Here's the cognitive test Trump brags about."
Dyer and other psychiatrists, though, said that test, often used as an initial screening tool which Trump took nearly seven years ago, is not helpful in assessing his current condition.
Seven years is a long time in one's 70s. May be almost zero difference, may be drooling on the carpet.
“That assessment is given to potential nursing home patients to decide which wing to assign them to, not to someone you want to hire, let alone be president,” said Andrew Smolar, a Pennsylvania psychiatrist who has had numerous patients of Trump’s age and apparent condition.
OUCH.
I can't pass up the opportunity to point out that that list of words was not part of the cognitive assessment that he "aced." He forgot that list. Person, man, woman, camera, and TV were just objects in his field of vision at the moment he was speaking in the interview.
I've been pointing out his dementia symptoms for years now. Why does it still feel so shitty to be proved right by time? :-/
Tell him he doesn’t have the best dementia and he will prove he does.
Why’s it all caps anyway? The HP article writer could have done better I think.

Versus
Doctor who wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ says he would recommend dementia tests for Trump
Or even
Doctor which wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ says he would recommend dementia tests for Trump
Having ‘Who’ in caps is probably what triggered. Were used to seeing the show name / dr name capitalized.
Headlines usually are written in headline case which capitalize everything but article. It might've been good to deviate from the guidelines in this case
Yeah I hate that always.
I feel like the audience on lemmy is uniquely primed to see "Doctor Who" vs the general public. Also fuck Trump
since when did Doctor Who get so Political? 😡

... "Doesn't he look tired?"
I liked my sci-fi/fantasy non-political and not so fucking woke. Things like
You know, back when men were men and women were women. Like Chaz Bono, Caroline Cossey, and Alexis Arquette
Yeah, those were the days, I remember growing up with wholesome, non globalist agenda-pushing cartoons like Ferngully and Captain Planet.
It's Dr. That now.
