    He will never admit to what he sees as weakness. He painted himself into a corner there with how he constantly accuses Joe and Hilary of not being forthright about their health issues. He’s such a hypocrite.

    His bragging about “passing” these cognitive tests makes me think the doctors have to make them into a game he can “win” or best others at just so he’ll take them. So even they are well aware he’s a stupid narcissist and know how to manipulate him.

    My hot take is I bet Leavitt looked ashen that day because he had a heart attack and/or stroke right in front of Putin.

    Cooked his brain? It didn’t even look at his brain. Didn’t need to because he aced the tests, which you couldn’t possibly do. His brain is as raw and fresh and smooth as the day he was born. I bet yours is all gross and old and wrinkly looking.

        I don’t think he listens to what people tell him anyway. I think he just has the whole conversation in his head and then remembers it that way.

    I feel like he would remember if it was the brain just because they click in a cage thing over your head for the duration of the scan. I get an MRI of my brain once a year for my MS and I would never forget getting one. But hey, who knows, he’s going senile. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe he has some kind of disease in a different part of his body that needs an MRI to diagnose.

      Or he’s lying because he doesn’t want to admit to having the cognitive issues he clearly has. Or possibly just because he’s so used to lying at this point it’s just automatic.

        Ah yes, that’s probably the most likely. Although I could also just see him not being informed what’s going on in his body because they think he’ll just blab it out one day.

      Weird I got a brain MRI scan about 4 years ago and there was no cage

      Edit: I am in no way defending Trump, just curious about the MRI experience. Trump is a pedo fascist fuck with dementia

      @LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world

      @MuskyMelon@lemmy.world

      Right now, my mum is developing dementia (we’re waiting on tests to help with a definitive diagnosis). Her memory is very bad, and getting worse. She can forget what she said in one sentence by the time she is part way through the next. If it wasn’t terrible it would be amazing - like she fully 100% has no idea what she said and sometimes will even argue that she didn’t say that thing. So I think it’s completely within the realms of possibility that he doesn’t remember.

      I also think that he doesn’t care enough about any of this to even register the information as worth remembering in the first place. He’s a shitty cunt regardless of the objective assessment of his mental state.

      Also not defending chester Cheeto. But I’m curious why they make you do the cage. That thing absolutely terrifies me, and I was so glad they never made me use it when they were scanning my brain because of my chairi malformation. Maybe it’s because it’s my brain stem they’re looking at?

      At any rate, I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I can’t imagine. Literal nightmare fuel

        I’ve had scans for my brain and neck area and they’ve used a cage always. And the last time they did the neck they did this extra big cage just for that section. It fucking sucks. It’s possible it’s just because I’m in a red state that hasn’t had as much investment in it for medical tech so things are more outdated. Or the people hate me and want me to suffer in that cage. Probably that first one. Or they just need to because they’re scanning the whole brain maybe? I dunno. I just know that I have them put a washcloth over my eyes so I can’t see it because, like you said, nightmare fuel.

    Trump managed to convince me in two sentences that his MRI was on his brain. He really does have a way with words.
