Trump admits to taking multiple cognitive tests

Donald Trump demanded today that all presidential and vice presidential candidates be "forced" to take a cognitive exam, bragging he aced it three times during his "THREE terms" as president. He has served two. The very post meant to prove his sharpness exposed the opposite, and world leaders are no longer staying quiet about it.Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Americans "clearly have no strategic plan" for Iran, while President Steinmeier called the military campaign a "politically disastrous mistake" and a "violation of international law." Emmanuel Macron suggested Trump should stop speaking altogether so things could stabilize. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared he was "fed up" with British citizens paying the price for a war they did not start. Even Giorgia Meloni, Trump's closest European ally, publicly broke with him over his attacks on Pope Leo XIV, who responded that he has "no fear of the Trump administration." This is not the world thanking him. This is the world saying, one leader at a time, that the United States can no longer be relied on.At home, a Reuters/Ipsos poll puts his approval at just 34 percent. His own counterterrorism official, Joe Kent, resigned saying Iran posed no imminent threat. And Trump himself admitted today that "nobody knows for sure who the leaders are" in the country he is bombing.Meanwhile, a Delaware judge ruled that Governor Gavin Newsom's $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News can move forward after Fox failed to get it dismissed. Discovery in this case could reveal how deeply the network coordinated to protect the president. The machinery of accountability is still turning, and we are only getting stronger in how we resist.The Breakdown:Trump's cognitive test demand backfires as he claims three presidential termsGermany's Merz and Steinmeier condemn the Iran war as lawless and planlessMacron tells Trump to stop talking so things can stabilizeUK's Starmer refuses to commit troops to a war with no strategyMeloni breaks with Trump over attacks on Pope Leo XIVPope Leo XIV responds directly, saying he has no fear of the administrationTrump's approval drops to 34 percent in new Reuters/Ipsos pollJoe Kent resigned over the lack of imminent threat from IranTrump admits he does not know who leads the country he is at war withMay Day economic day of action calls for nationwide resistanceDelaware judge allows Newsom's $787 million Fox News defamation suit to proceedThe case for showing up in November has never been clearerMore on my daily Substack at: https://heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/
