Trump Fails Cognitive Test When Asked to Remember Steve Bannon

[Zorro]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s stellar reputation for mental acuity took a hit on Thursday when he failed a cognitive test in which he was asked to remember Steve Bannon.

According to the White House physician, Trump was shown several pictures and asked to identify them, including ones of a woman, a man, a camera, a TV, and Steve Bannon.

“He nailed woman, man, camera, and TV but drew a blank when it came to Steve Bannon,” the physician said. “He said he was unfamiliar with that picture and could not remember ever seeing that person before.”

After repeated attempts to jog Trump’s memory concerning the identity of Steve Bannon, including writing the name Steve Bannon on a notecard and showing it to him, the physician gave up trying.

On a positive note, the physician said, Trump’s cognition appeared to improve later in the morning, when he was able to block Steve Bannon on Twitter, Facebook, and his phone.

1. This used to be satire

but now it feels as if Borowitz is now reduced to telling the truth and passing this Trump stuff off as satire

2. So as far as Trump is concerned, Steve Bannon is just "person"

I'm waiting for him to deny his kids when the "Build the Wall" scandal gets cranking.
The ultimate will be when he claims he doesn't know himself.

"Never saw the guy before."

4. The satire aside if Trump does have Alzheimer's he might not be lying

when he says he does not remember someone.

5. Actually....

It was his sister he failed to recognize.
