Trump Challenges Nikki Haley To “Aptitude Test”

“I think I’m a lot sharper than her. I would do this. I would sit down right now and take an aptitude test and it would be my result against her result and she’s not gonna win. She’s not gonna even come to close to winning.

“In fact, when I heard the word ‘cognitive,; you know, I’ve taken two of them now. I took one with Doc Ronnie, who’s now a fantastic, you know, White House doctor and a fantastic congressman from Texas. Admiral. The White House doctor. Jackson. Ronny Jackson. And he’s now a great congressman from Texas. I took one then and I took one recently. I think the result was announced and it was– I aced it twice. I aced it.

“But I would say that, you know, I’ve actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for president because I actually think that’s a good idea. It’d be nice to have an intelligent person be president.” – Trump, speaking today in New Hampshire.

Trump claims he gets confused on purpose because he’s being sarcastic. He then brags that he aced a cognitive test a few months ago. pic.twitter.com/X2Ww00cUN8

“Trump confused Pelosi and Haley as people. And it’s just the latest in a long string of such incidents.”

Yet as @mtomasky argues in this good column, these get too little coverage. Dems need to do more to point the media spotlight at Trump’s meltdowns:https://t.co/RNUihwy9sz
