This is not an accident. This is how they work, it’s dog whistling. People will call it a genuine mistake and say he was trying to be graceful and pay his respects to someone across the aisle but its their way of subtly causing offence by insinuating that Cummings and Lewis are somehow interchangeable because they are black. As if Lewis and Cummings are not remarkable people in their own right who lived remarkable lives.
Theyre almost identical though. Seems like an honest mistake to make.

Alright so this isn't satire. It's quite genuinely an actual exchange in an interview with the sitting president of the United States:

Wait, that's Fox news. I thought that company would report whatever let's Trump appear in positive light. Have they finally turned on him, too?
Some Fox journos actually try to be journos when dealing with Trump. They are in the minority, but they do exist.

This guy on his show has always been pointing out Trumps nonsense.

I'm surprised Trump agreed for this interview.

Can't help but feel like they basically matched Soviet behaviour during the Cold War (hyper patriotism, military parades, etc) and now they just basically come across as North Korea but capitalist.

The whole place is a mess.

I haven’t heard that question being asked. Is it due to his age and therefore a standard thing? If not why is he being asked to do that test?

I think it's a harmless sop test with his ages.

He just kept on bragging about acing it.

It's like one of those are you color blind test at GP. You just dont brag about acing it and how everyone will fail the test and you're superman with xray vision

Thats because its probably the only test he has ever aced before, on his own at least or without external help.

My old man had to do one when we took him to a specialist because he had obvious cognitive decline.

Which again begs the question: did someone in the WH or a doctor think he needed that test, to make sure?
Or am I overthinking this one?

I am sure that topic was brought up a few hundred times over the past four years. I am sure it included a psychological profile test too.

Yeah, I am seeing tweets with people saying doctors don't just randomly prescribe the test unless they are suspecting cognitive decline.

It actually baffles me how in this day and age a society can be so insular, terrified of absolutely everything and utterly brainwashed.

He took an unscheduled hospital visit late last year. They released a statement that said it was apparently routine, but common speculation is he had a stroke or some other issue and the test was done then to make sure he hadn't gone further into decline.

Allegedly he asked the doctor for the test, with the justification that his sanity was being questioned. Allegedly.

Normally I'd assume this test is only given when cognitive changes are suspected but hard to say when it is an old US President who is a little unusual.

fecking hell. It has been a major problem world wide for over four months and the first he's heard of it is a recent broadcast rather than his fecking daily briefings over that time.

He doesn’t listen to his daily briefings, this is well established at this point.

His daily briefings are the equivalent of the scenes in The Simpson’s where it cuts to inside Homer’s head and there’s a monkey playing the drums or something.
