He has a lot to cover up for in the Crhis Wallace interview. For example, talking about his cognitive test:

The president then got into a lengthy exchange with Wallace over his recent claim that he "aced" a cognitive test. After Trump challenged former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, to take such an exam, Wallace said he recently took the same exam as Trump and found it to be quite easy.

"They have a picture and it says 'what's that' and it's an elephant," Wallace said.

Trump pushed back, saying that was "all misrepresentation."

"Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions," Trump said. "I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions."

Wallace said one of the questions was to count back from 100 by seven. Trump continued to insist Wallace "couldn't answer many of the questions."

Plus, he insisted his coronavirus prediction that it will just disappear will eventually be right.

So we catch Obama & Biden, not to even mention the rest of their crew, SPYING on my campaign, AND NOTHING HAPPENS? I hope not! If it were the other way around, 50 years for treason. NEVER FORGET!!!!

The Radical Left Democrats, who totally control Biden, will destroy our Country as we know it. Unimaginably bad things would happen to America. Look at Portland, where the pols are just fine with 50 days of anarchy. We sent in help. Look at New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. NO!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

And now we addd the word treason to the list of words that President Trump does not understand..

ETA
Then again, maybe he said that on purpose. He loves conflating attacks on himself and attacks on the US. He appears to be really into that L’état c’est moi stuff.

I wonder if he is doing that consciously or unconsciously.

MORE ETA
Now I’m wondering if that question even makes sense. If he were to have a mental disorder then he might not be able to avoid doing that.

He makes this claim over and over again yet I've yet to see a shred of evidence supporting it.

He got called out on a lie in real time.

Fox News interviewer Chris Wallace respectfully pointed out that the president made a false claim

Trump is now on Fox News being interviewed by Chris Wallace. First up is the coronavirus. Trump is asked about the surge in cases of coronavirus. Trump says the US has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world, which is untrue. He is then shown a chart that shows the US has the seventh worst rate in the world.

He said in an interview with Chris Wallace that Biden had signed a defund the police pact with Sanders. Wallace called him on it. Trump had his staff get the Biden/Sanders agreement out but nowhere in the document did it say what Trump had claimed.

There wasn't anything to the Clinton email crap or Benghazi either but Trump just kept repeating it.

This is Trump repeating his 2016 campaign tactics.
 
FWIW, this is the type of test that Trump says he "amazed" doctors by "ace"ing:

I have to admit the first one puzzled me for a bit before I realized the one section was two separate tasks. I thought we were supposed to construct that cube by connecting those dots!

That mistake wouldn't happen when you're actually taking the test. In my experience with this test, the person being tested isn't given this card. I believe for these first questions the test-taker is given a separate sheet of paper to draw on, that has the necessary pictures or figures on it. It's possible I suppose that in some cases they may be given this card, but with a cover sheet that only exposes the individual task.

Also in the Wallace interview Trump said the last 5 questions in the cognitive test were hard. That says a lot.


Darn, I typed all this before seeing Checkmite's post. :(
Las Vegas Sun: Trump says he aced this cognitive test. Can you?

Scroll down. The last 5 questions are not hard at all. And I have memory problems.

Last question, when is it and where are you?

date - month - year - day - place - city

Maybe it's hard to know what day and place mean. :boggled:

Second to last question Delayed recall of five words:
face - velvet - church - daisy - red (You were given the words earlier in the test.)

third to last
what's the relationship between these three word pairs
banana - orange
bicycle - train
watch - ruler

fourth to last
there are two slightly complex sentences to repeat:
"I only know that John is the one to help today."
"The cat always hid under the couch when dogs were in the room."

And you have one minute to name as many words as you can that start with F. You only have to get 11. :rolleyes:

fifth to last
Count backward from 100 by 7s. You only have to get to 65. That's the one Trump told Wallace was hard.

OMG! Trump really believes he took a difficult cognitive test.

Did anyone else make up a little story to help remember the five words? Mine was that a girl named Daisy had a red face and wiped it down with a velvet cloth in a church.

It didn't even take instructions to know you went 1-A-2-B-3-C- and so on. I doubt they let Trump get confused by seeing both parts on the same page.
