Former President Donald Trump issued a direct challenge to President Joe Biden, suggesting that every presidential candidate should take a cognitive test.
He also addressed issues at the Southern border, promising to deploy military and law enforcement resources to seal the final section of the border if he wins back the White House.
Trump criticized Biden’s handling of the border and thanked Texas Governor Greg Abbott for taking action to protect the state.
“I really believe it’s important,” Trump said.
“I don’t know. They say it’s not constitutional. I don’t know why. They say it’s not constitutional to take an aptitude or cognitive test, but I think anybody running for president — that includes vice president and maybe even some other positions — I think taking certain tests … would be a good thing, personally. Not based on age, I don’t care if you’re 35 years old, but we want intelligent people. Now, that’s not a pure sign of intelligence, but we want people that are intelligent.”
“Only about 2% in this room can do it, but I did it,” he said. “I did it very easily, but I got mocked. They said, ‘Oh, that’s so easy.’ It’s not easy. It’s not easy — go home and try doing it, OK?”
“You would be amazed at how many people would fail it,” he said. “How do you think he’d do on a test? He might not get that first question right.”
“When I’m president, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements,” Trump said.
“Instead of fighting border states, I will use every resource, tool, and authority of the U.S. president to defend the United States of America from this horrible invasion that is taking place right now,” he said.
“We built over 500 miles of wall,” he said. “Usually, you like to know the other side, and you like to know where the other side’s coming from. Nobody to this day can explain why this open wound is good for our country.”
“With the Hispanic vote, we’re doing better now than the Democrat Party,” he added. “We’re going to repeal the invasion.”
“I didn’t have the border to run on because I did such a good job with the border that the border wasn’t an issue,” he said. “I did such a good job. I took it out of play. And now I’m saying the border is in play like it’s never been in play before because what they’ve done is they’ve taken all of the things that I did to make it so good. Literally, we couldn’t put it in a speech. Nobody wanted to hear about the border. We had no border problem.”
“Crooked Joe Biden is fighting Texas to tear our beautiful border security down there.”
“There has never been a country where millions and millions of people are able to flow in with no vetting, no checking, no nothing,” he said.
“We don’t know who they are. We don’t know where they come from … and we have no idea what we’re doing with our country. Our country’s going to hell because of incompetent or bad people,” he said.
