Trump, 80, Claims ‘Genius’ Status for Remembering Five Words

Evan Vucci / REUTERS President Donald Trump has declared himself a “frickin’ genius” for being able to remember five simple words.

Trump, 80, made the bold claim during a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, on Wednesday as he continues to attempt to rustle up support ahead of the midterms.

As part of his rambling, near-eight-minute rant, Trump repeatedly bragged about his own intelligence.

The president began his bizarre monologue by slamming Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, who is polling 17 points ahead of Republican Andy Biggs in a poll conducted by HighGround between October 6th to 8th.

Trump stated that Democrat Hobbs is “a low IQ individual in my opinion.” He added, “That’s only my opinion, but remember, I’m the only one that took the test.

You know, I took the aptitude test, or whatever the hell they call it.” Trump then appeared to begin to throw his own supporters under the bus.

“There are few people in this audience that can...,” before quickly stating, “Once you get past the first question, which is quite easy, they show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe and a snake.

And they say, ‘Which one is the lion?’ Joe Biden was unable to answer that particular...” After listing the details of a mathematical equation he claims he got right, he continued to ramble about the contents of the test, saying he was given five words, which he had to repeat, “preferably in order” to get “extra points.” “What they don’t say is, at the end of the test, a half hour later, they do it again.

So you don’t know that,” Trump said, stating that the five words were ‘hat,’ ‘hair,’ ‘logo,’ ‘white’ and ‘black.’ “Now, a half hour goes by, they’ve asked you 25, 30 other questions,” Trump said, then stated he was asked to repeat the five words again, in order.

Trump again repeated the five simple words in order, saying he was told, “‘Holy s---, nobody can do that.’ When I tell the fake news about that, ‘Oh, that’s so easy.’ Very few people can do that.

They say very few people can do it, but almost none can do them in order, like that.” He added, “But I can.

You know why? ‘Cause I’m a frickin’ genius, that’s why.” Five minutes later, Trump was still bragging.

“I like the idea of taking tests,” he said, repeating “the first questions are easy.” He claimed that beyond question 15, “It’s very hard, very few people can get it.

One doctor said, ‘I’ve never had anybody get them all right.’ I got them right three times.” The president had not finished, insisting he did not know the doctors who were testing him, and claimed, “Probably half of them are Democrat.
