Donald Trump insists that his cognitive abilities are top notch, but he couldn’t even remember the name of the Space Force moments after bragging about his memory skills during an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity.
Trump has been bragging about a cognitive test he was supposedly administered that he claimed was so “hard” that Fox anchor Chris Wallace — let alone Joe Biden — couldn’t have passed it. Of course, the questions on that test were actually as simple as identifying animals, repeating words, and answering what day and what time it is.
If the test was “hard” as Trump claims, he made the case that he should not be president.
But he once again demonstrated that his cognitive abilities are impaired while speaking on the phone to Hannity.

Trump bragged about his “sharp” mind while attacking former Vice President Joe Biden, who has had his share of minor flubs during interviews this year.
“You have to be very sharp,” Trump said. “I’m dealing with the heads of these countries and every one of them is a world-class chess player and if you’re not 100% on your game, if you’re not 100% sharp plus, you got a problem.”
Here’s the video:

Clearly, however, world leaders are running circles around Trump. That’s why Russia and China have been able to expand their influence while American influence wanes.
Trump would go on sabotage his own defense of his cognitive health by briefly forgetting the name of his Space Force.

That’s pretty damn embarrassing, and definitely undermines his attacks on Biden. A man who is “100 percent sharp” would not have made such a stumble.
