Legal AF by MeidasTouch - Trump MENTAL COLLAPSE Hits Him At WORST Possible Time

Episode Date: June 17, 2024

Trump just “publicly” failed his own mental cognitive test in front of thousands of his supporters in Detroit (??), as he continues the “Felons United Comedy Tour” to try to get elected. Michael Popok reports on the sweet irony of Trump forgetting his mental test doctor’s name while accusing President Biden of being demented.

It's Michael Popak, Legal AF. Here's an idea. If you're running for office and you make the provocative choice that you're going to go into a primarily all-black democratic town like Detroit,

Michigan, and you're going to get up on the stage and start challenging your rival, your opponent, to some sort of cognitive face-off, you know, I'm more compass mentis than you are, I'm more cognitively intact than you are, then maybe you want to get the name of your doctor right when you say it over and over again to your audience. Donald Trump loves to talk about how he has some sort of perfect memory. He's been given all sorts of mental acuity tests, cat, dog, camera, woman, whatever it was. And he says he was given a clean bill of health by the person that occupied the Surgeon General's office, who's now some sort of, I don't know, congressman or senator. That person, by the way, is not named Ronnie Johnson. You would not know that from how many times

Donald Trump has called his doctor by the wrong name. While he's trying to make the point that Joe Biden is in the words of the campaign and everybody around them and all the talking points,mented. Losing it, not with it, wandering off, a zombie. Try to get your own doctor's name right. Let's play a clip. Dr. Ronnie Johnson. Does everyone know Ronnie Johnson? Congressman from Texas. He was the White House doctor and he said I was the healthiest president he feels in history.

So I liked him very much immediately. So what's the backstory here? Charlie Kirk brings in Donald Trump in a provocative way. They seem to be making some sort of tour of black epicenters, black democratic strongholds in America, trying to say that Donald Trump likes black people, Joe Biden doesn't like black people, you know, whatever this ridiculous is. They're trying to peel away one or two or five black votes

as they're trying to figure out how to plug the hole and overcome Joe Biden's electoral advantage. That's all this is. Every time you see Donald Trump go to a bodega where he's never been before, go into a Chick-fil-A and hug a black Republican plant. And I mean a person who's planted there for him to hug. Or gets up on a stage in Detroit or with a hot mic moment calls Milwaukee where the Republican National Convention is going to be a shithole, you know, like that. He's trying to peel away and find votes

wherever he can find it because by large, the black community, the Hispanic community, the Jewish community, women by large, vote in large numbers for Democrats. But if he can find a way to make a couple of people say, hmm, maybe I vote for that guy. He thinks that's a winning bet. But he takes the stage, you know, we already know that he uses AI to write his speeches. Now we know why.

I think those are the speeches that are actually coherent. I think when he's incoherent, it doesn't make any sense. Even the business community in a recent round table was like, this guy doesn't make any sense. This guy is insane. Reminds me of the scene from a famous movie called Bananas where the Fidel Castro type dictator comes out one day totally crazy and says,

"'For now on, you'll wear your underwear "'on the outside of your clothing.'" I mean, the business round table was like, this guy is not tracking. The more you spend time with Donald Trump, the less competent and less mental capacity you believe he has. "'Proper sleep can increase focus,

which is what we're talking about with that clip, where he does not pull well with the black and Latino votes, although he's getting a slight edge to that. So that's why he's going into places like the South Bronx and Detroit and other places. But when he's up there bragging about in his 80 minute run-on speech about how he passed his cognitive tests and that he was

given a clean bell of health by his physician who's now a Republican member of Congress, he keeps calling him Ronnie Johnson. Has anyone heard of Ronnie Johnson, congress Congressman from Texas? And he asked the crowd, he was the White House doctor and he said I was the healthiest president he feels in history. So I liked him very much. Unfortunately, the guy's name was not Ronnie Johnson.

His name was Ronnie Jackson, who now represents Texas 13th Congressional District. Yes, he's one of the loyalists of Donald Trump, but even he had to say, hmm, you know, probably not a good look when you're claiming that your opponent is mentally incapacitated, that you can't even figure out who gave you your mental cognitive test by name. And of course, none of his synchofants or bootlickers or cult followers thought to correct him, like yell out, it's Jackson. I would have loved that. He would have thought he was being heckled. Take that person out,

have them executed. That's what Donald Trump likes to do. That's his fetish. Charlie Kirk's got his own baggage. You know, he's been known to criticize and say that Martin Luther King Jr. was an awful person. And that's why he tried to bring Donald Trump into a place that's 77% black. And Detroit is important because in Michigan, it was a very close vote, if you recall, from 2020. Biden won it, but he won it by like 150,000 votes,

which is, it's not nothing. I mean, you know, he won by, in a lot of states, seven battleground states, he won by just enough. It's pass, fail. You're the winner, you lose. And he won, whether it was 10,000 votes, 5,000 votes, 20,000 votes, 150,000 votes. But in a close election, you know, you can make up a hundred and fifty thousand votes. And that's what Donald Trump

is trying to do with these meetings. But, you know, if he's going to get up on stage, you know, for his, you know, go to churches and address these crowds and have Steve Bannon up there right before he goes to jail and all this other and bring up you know this is like the felon tour I feel like I'm watching like old comics that getting together to do a last tour except the comics are replaced by felons and they're all supporting Donald Trump and his crowd cheers for them you know I mean have you pulled any people any of these people aside ten years ago and said do you ever think

You'll be one day Celebrating and cheering on a criminal candidate for the presidency surrounded by other felons I'm sure most these people would say all right. What what are you even smoking right now? What are you even talking about? No, we wouldn't do that. This is what we're watching with Donald Trump So look, we got to bring it to your attention.
