Donald Trump has been on a multiple-day crusade to prove he passed a test that shows (without proof) he’s “cognitively there.” In an interview with Fox News, he took things a step further Wednesday when he told Dr. Marc Siegel “the last questions are much more difficult.” He then went on to give an example:
“It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV’,” he said. “So, they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that?’ So, I said, yeah — person, woman, man, camera, TV.”
Now, as MSNBC’s Brian Williams says “it has launched a thousand memes.” Friday, comedian and Trump lip-sync master, Sarah Cooper released her own video using the president’s words and it’s quickly going viral.

Who else wants Joe Biden to walk up to Donald Trump at the first debate, look him in the eye, say person, woman, man, camera, TV, and then stroll casually back to the podium.
I just posed this memory test to my neighbor’s 8-year-old son. Apparently, Joey can be the president, too. pic.twitter.com/lxkkfKMmVh
