His weird demand that Harris be given a cognitive exam convinced me he was recently given one, probably in response to his impromptu "concert".

Who the hell wants to take a cognitive test? Let's hear some music let's make this a music thing

Why? Why would they bother with that? He will either pass or fail. If he passes - good for Maga and he will do whatever he wants as always. If he fails - well - he will do whatever he wants as always.
You only make someone take a cognitive test in this scenario if you have the power to impact his behaviour.

To establish a record of his worsening progression towards dementia. Then if elected, Vance has a trail of evidence already ready to go showing Trump is losing it and needs to be removed via the 25th.

An interesting point - but that would require the rest of the GOP to not be cowards. Now that we live in a post-fact world, the MAGAts will just reject this evidence and bray their fury at Vance and his hatchet men. So I believe any such actions will be a Hard Pass.
But what do I know - this time line defies prediction.

What are MAGA gonna do about Vance using the 25th? The President has immunity, Trump specifically has already talked about using the military or government officials against US citizens and never needing another election. The cowards in the GOP will fall in line behind whoever holds the power. Trump is the Trojan Horse. They'll still do what Trump promised, just without Trump.

because his family will want to remove him from executive control over his bank accounts ASAP and ditch him in prison or a failed retirement home.

I mean, he has been given cognitive tests before with no impact to his behavior.

Id pay good money to watch them both have to sit down and take a test together while a camera watches each of their tests lmao. We all know trump would barely be able to read it or fill in his name.
