The former president suggested that he had requested to take the test: “I said, ‘give me a cognitive test, just so we can you know,’ because you know what the standards were, and I aced it.”

Uh, he's basically admitting here that even he has doubts about his own competence. "Just so we can know". We have to be sure. What were we talking about again?

It's so odd to me that someone at his level has to field every thing he is thinking or everthing he does in spotlight of the media.

"People say I wouldn't be able to take a pie to the face. So I took a pie to the face and I was totally able to handle it."

Breaking news Donald Trump takes pie to the face, is he a clown?

"Folks, I took a pie to the face, it was the best pie to the face of all time. No clown, no clown."

Breaking news Trump claims not to be clown even after taking a pie to the face.

"I'm worried about that Joe Biden. He is a complete clown, people are saying it, everyone is saying it. Thats just what I've heard. Joe Biden is a Clown."

Breaking news Trump called Joe Biden a clown

On and on

That's what happens when you're a reality TV star that also posts non stop on social media.

You're missing a word there that made all the difference in meaning, though.

He talks like a parent ignoring their kid finishing a task.
