Trump mocks elderly MAGA crowd to their faces: 'Look at you old guys'

By Matthew Chapman
Published May 1, 2026 5:44 PM ET

President Donald Trump bragged that he is "young" and "vibrant" compared to the residents of The Villages retirement community in Florida on Friday.

"I don't happen to be a senior," said the 79-year-old president. "I'm much younger than you. I'm a much younger man than you. Look at you old guys. Wouldn't you like to be my age? Young, vital, vibrant."

Trump then went on to brag about his performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, which is a screening test for dementia in the elderly — suggesting many of his supporters in attendance probably couldn't have done as well as he did, and taking a jab at former President Barack Obama.

"I took three of them," said Trump. "I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. Didn't he get into Harvard with a C average? The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions."

But once it got down to "A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions."" it became clear this motherfucker is literally insulting them and telling them he's smarter than they are.

Keep blabbing, dipshit!

They are so fucking stupid that they think they’re at a Don Rickles show and you know what? They deserve whatever the fuck happens to them.

Yes I know we don’t but I’m not talking about us right now.

8. MaddowBlog-Trump's incessant talk about cognitive tests isn't reassuring people about his mental fitness

The percentage of Americans who believe that Trump is “mentally sharp” has dropped below 50%. He’s apparently feeling rather defensive on the issue.

The percentage of Americans who believe that Trump is “mentally sharp” has dropped well below 50%.

He’s apparently responding with manic rhetoric about cognitive tests.

I have a hunch that won’t turn things around for him.

If his public remarks are any indication, few topics are of greater interest to Donald Trump than cognitive tests. The president has long struggled to understand the point of these tests, but that hasn’t stopped him from his obsessive boasts about being able to pass exams used to identify dementia, mental deterioration and neurodegenerative diseases.

On Friday, for example, Trump spoke to a supportive crowd in Florida, where he went on an extended riff, claiming that he’s the only president to have taken a cognitive test, pretending it’s impressive that he’s taken three and insisting that Barack Obama would fail such a test......

I am going to resist the temptation to comment on that quote and will instead note that around the same time, the president suggested some of his own supporters on hand for the event would struggle to answer the questions on the exams he’s taken repeatedly for reasons the White House hasn’t explained.

Trump suggests his own supporters couldn’t pass a cognitive test.

I took three of them. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions.

If it seemed that Trump was feeling a bit defensive on the issue, it’s easy to understand why. It was just a few weeks ago when The New York Times published a striking report with an unsubtle headline: “Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate.” The same article highlighted a lawyer who used to work with Trump who described the president as “a man who is clearly insane.”

It also noted a recent comment from Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary who worked for Trump in his first term. Grisham wrote online a week earlier that her former boss is “clearly not well.”....

But just as important is the degree to which Trump’s fixation on the subject doesn’t seem to be persuading anyone. As recently as November 2024, when he won a second term, a Pew Research Center poll found that 55% of Americans considered the Republican to be “mentally sharp.” That number has now dropped to 44%, with slides among Democrats, independents and even GOP voters.

If the president wants to reassure the public he’s mentally fit to serve, he’ll have to try something other than obsessing over his alleged successes on dementia tests.
