Trump, 80, says he’s ‘in my 40s,’ then asks Iowa which animal is the snake

The oldest man ever sworn in as president polled the room. “Are there any seniors? I don’t happen to be a senior. I’m in my 40s.” He turned 80 in June.

Straight into the cognitive test, of course: “I’m the only person that took three cognitive tests... and I aced all of them.” He wanted an executive order making every candidate take one, “and I thought, oh, I’m so smart.” Then they told him it was “not constitutional.” His reading: “In other words, a person who’s stupid is allowed to run for office.” Yes, that’s democracy.

Then a fresh animal. Last week the question was the lion, and on Tuesday it was the giraffe. In Iowa: “They have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they said, which is the snake?” He called it “tough.”

Then the big finish. Take 49, “triple it, divide by 4, add 2019, subtract 87, divide by 3, multiply by 9. What is the number?” He says he did it “three times” and “got no credit for it.” By our math it’s 5,906.25. No credit for us either, apparently.
