Fox News host Martha MacCallum interviewed Donald Trump about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign, and things got interesting when Nikki Halley's questions about the former President's mental acuity came up. Because somehow, Trump seems to think that Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson is still a White House doctor. Jackson, for the record, hasn't been the White House doctor since 2018.

"So Nikki Haley says now she has the two-person race that she's always wanted," MacCallum said. "She has been coming after you strongly in the past few days. It's worked both ways, and you've come after her as well. She keeps bringing up your age lately. What do you say about that?"

"Well, I think I'm a lot sharper than her," Trump insisted. "I would do this. I would sit down right now and take an aptitude test, and it would be my result against her result, and she's not gonna win."

"She's not gonna even come close to winning," he continued. "In fact, when I heard the word cognitive, you know, I've taken two of them now. I took one with Doc Ronny, who's now a fantastic, you know, White House doctor and a fantastic congressman from Texas, Admiral."

"The White House doctor, Jackson, Ronny Jackson, and he's now a great congressman from Texas," he said. "I took one then, and I took one recently. I think the result was announced, and it was; I aced it twice."

"I aced it, but I would say that, you know, I've actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for President because I actually think that's a good idea," he added. "It'd be nice to have an intelligent person be president."

What a bunch of drug-addled nonsense. He's bragging about acing a simple test when he doesn't know the difference between Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley.
