It was a nationwide phone and online survey that polled people from both parties. MediaBiasFactCheck ranks Rasmussen as slightly right of centre in it’s editorial stance and “HIGH” in terms of factual reporting. https://www.google.ie/amp/s/mediabiasfactcheck.com/rasmussen-reports/%3famp

He was explaining to an interviewer the type of memory question that was asked where you were given words in a specific order and later were asked to recall the words in order. “Person, woman, camera, tv” were just random words he was using as an example of the type of question. Accusing him of lying because he didn’t say the exact words that were used in his actual test is ridiculous

When evaluating the test , doctors don't just look at the right/wrong answers , they also consider how long it took a person to complete the test or if they struggled to get to the answers. By suggesting that the "last few questions were really hard" Trump is indicating that he has a problem Second - They only administer that test if they have concern that you might be suffering from a cognitive issue either a degenerative issue or caused by an event like a stroke. It's not a standard test that they administer to older people as a matter of course , like a PSA test for men for example. It's administered in response to a concern about the mental condition of the patient. Trump made a big deal out of this and because he lies and brags about anything , he thought that by making it sound really difficult it would make him look better and more "Manly" for allegedly passing it. However ,due to his ignorance of the purpose of the test , he made himself sound weak and damaged. Joe Bidens response about taking a test - "I haven't had a test , why would I?" was actually a far more appropriate one , certainly in terms of refuting the suggestion of impairment.

Is there any chance of maybe comparing and contrasting their election promises/policies rather than going round in circles trying to determine which is better, an unbelievably stupid patently unfit old man or an intelligent somewhat gaff prone fit old man?

“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man. That’s like saying to you before you got on this program if you had taken a test [on] were you taking cocaine or not?” Biden said. “What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?”

Sean.3516 wrote: » I don't care about knowing what the guys exact net worth is. My point was that it's not easy to turn a few millions into 4 billion and the fact that Trump managed to do that reasonably successfully is an indicator of basic intelligence at least.Trump has removed himself from all decision making capacities at the Trump Organisation. His personal profits since becoming president were from deals made before he became president. I find it hard to believe the line that Trump was always a Russian stooge when he took steps against Russia like arming the people of Ukraine to fight Russian paramilitiaries (which Obama refused to do). American soldiers in Syria have killed literally hundreds of Russian military contractors. Yes, Russians wanted to help him win. They made overtures to him during the campaign but we have no evidence that Trump himself ever colluded. The Mueller Report found nothing. By the way Trump did not win in 2016 because of Russia. He won because Hillary supporters did not show up in the swing states. He got less votes in Wisconsin than Mitt Romney in 2012 and Romney lost the state. Trump won it. Yes, Russia interfered but there's no evidence they are the reason Trump won. Trump doesn't win because he's a genius. He wins because he's good at maximising on the stupidity of his opponents which is why he'll win in 2020.

We also have the data from his Doonbeg and Scottish resorts due to the local reporting laws in Ireland/UK. They also show him losing money year in year out.He got over 400 Million dollars from his fathers dodgy Tax schemes and there is no evidence to show that he has turned a profit since then. He has high annual turnover , but his debt/income ratio would suggest that he loses money every year and is kept afloat by banks repeatedly extending his credit in the hopes of getting their investment back.
