“I think it was 35… 30 questions. And let me tell you, you know, they always show you the first one: a giraffe, a tiger or a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?'”

He's done this enough times that he knows the first one is always this question? How many cognitive tests has he completed? Did he pass the others?

It's also insane that the bar is this low. You recognize animal shapes, here are the keys to the nuclear stockpile, have fun.

All of this shit is just so upsetting on an existential level. How is any of this real? It literally feels like a completely different country than the one I grew up in.

Bin Laden won. 9/11 broke everyone's brains, then electing a black man made 1/3 of the population just go completely batshit.

I swear he's said something similar before, and the quote appears incomplete as I remember him going on to say "From there the questions get more difficult". As if he's pointing out that the first few questions are no brainers. At least that's my interpretation.

This kind of clickbait doesn't help anyone. Let's focus on how bad his policies are, all of the legal trouble he's in, and his lack of moral character.
