‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

    It’s rich that he is claiming she has a low IQ when he got gentlemen Cs while at Penn. One of his professors called him his worst student ever.

        Missing some inflection

      Also his obsession with those two cognitive tests he didn’t fail isn’t a great sign for his IQ either.

      Maybe I’m the dumb one, but a “cognition test” sounds to me like something they do after someone has received some head trauma to make sure it didn’t break their brain or for an old person to see if they are going senile. Like a test where “tell me your name” is part of the test rather than part of the supporting paperwork.

      Though maybe his handlers told him it was a genius test or something like that and no one has had the heart/guts to break it to him since.

        You are correct. A cognition tests look to see if you are having severe mental cognitive issues. The questions are extremely basic like doing connect the dots or identifying a lion.
