An author of the 1973 American Psychiatric Association standard says it was never meant to stop doctors from expressing their opinions based on public information.
Edit: changed the title from the site to say “Doctor That …” instead of “Doctor Who …”
“I’m not 80, and I’m not that close to 80,” said Trump, who is 20 months away from turning 80. “I’ve done cognitive tests. I’ve done them twice, and I aced both of them, and the doctor in one case said, ‘I’ve never seen anybody ace them.’”
He aced a test that only shows… Fuck here’s the test:
Recite these words back to me: person, woman, man, camera, TV
Harris could hammer that one home! “Here’s the cognitive test Trump brags about.”
Dyer and other psychiatrists, though, said that test, often used as an initial screening tool which Trump took nearly seven years ago, is not helpful in assessing his current condition.
Seven years is a long time in one’s 70s. May be almost zero difference, may be drooling on the carpet.
“That assessment is given to potential nursing home patients to decide which wing to assign them to, not to someone you want to hire, let alone be president,” said Andrew Smolar, a Pennsylvania psychiatrist who has had numerous patients of Trump’s age and apparent condition.
Oh boy!
