This video of Donald Trump trying to open a box has just gone viral and it perfectly captures the man and his presidency in 13 seconds flat

Donald Trump is a world-class genius. Just ask Donald Trump.

The President has no qualms bragging about all of the times he has aced his cognitive exams. Nevermind that most medical experts will tell you that you don’t take regular cognitive exams unless your physician is seriously concerned about your mental decline.

Trump takes those tests and he does better on those tests than anyone else. So surely, when he’s confronted with a simple task like opening a box, he will be able to open that box better than any President in the history of Presidents, right?

Trump: “I took my cognitive exam as part of my physical exam and I got the highest mark, and one of the doctors said, ‘Sir, I’ve never seen anybody get that kind of – that was the highest mark.’”

Hmmm…

One silver lining: maybe he’ll have the same trouble opening up the controls to the nuclear codes and won’t be able to ignite World War III on a whim.

I guess it’s a good thing “opening black box” wasn’t on this year’s cognitive exam.

When Trump heard his doctors say “brain plaque,” he thought they were giving him another “award.”
