MarketWatch had a very interesting article on it recently and I learned some things I didn't know about it. For one thing, it's supposed to be an easy test because it's meant to indicate the possible beginning of cognitive decline, not the end. The exam should not be difficult for someone who is not cognitively impaired. One doctor said that Trump's crowing about passing the test is like saying he successfully tied his shoes that morning. By the way, that test was given to him in early 2018, so the results, if given today, could be different. Also, it is not an IQ test. A normal score is 27 out of 30. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-doctor-behind-a-cognitive-test-trump-took-says-its-supposed-to-be-easy-for-people-with-no-cognitive-impairment-2020-07-20 less

That's why they're "Future Dead People."
Now if you were an old person and I called you a future dead man / lady to your face, how would you react?And why do I have this temptation to call old people that? less

There could be 200,000 Americans dead from the virus by election day. 50 million Americans could be unemployed... Yet all Trump has time for, is protecting a federal building in Portland from being sprayed with graffiti.https://richmond.com/news/national/huge-crowd-confronts-federal-cops-in-portland/video_f46c5410-42f5-5d72-9b7c-a86c3281e752.html
