My Aunt Helen at 101 knew the exact day, month and year. No one else did. Then how may fingers. When they asked for who was President, she got a huge smile, looked at me and barked "Roosevelt!".
IDK man, I have a neighbor who still puts up their "F*** Biden" flag. I think they would answer "Unfortunately..." since apparently some of those MAGA crazies still think he is president (or relevant in any way anymore)
When my dad wasn't able to say who the president was, I knew he didn't have long left. He only stayed on dialysis as long as he did so he could vote against Trump a second time.
In late 2016, (after having had a stroke previously and still had some aphasia, trouble coming up with certain nouns) my dad was in the hospital, and was asked that question. He answered correctly, "Obama!". Then, as an aside, my mom asked him who the president was Going to be. He answered (also correctly) "mmm, oh, that asshole..."
I had a head injury recently. At the ER: "What day is it?" "Wednesday." "Good. Where are you?" "The Emergency Room." "Good. Who's the president?" "Eh, c'mon, don't make me say it..." "We'll accept that." "...The Heritage Project?" "Even more correct."
Namibia (South Africa) just re-elected (for the 5th term) the anti-apartheid campaigner Adolf Hitler, who has since changed their name finally to Adolf Uunona. To quote him: “As a child I saw it as a totally normal name," he said. “It wasn't until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world. I have nothing to do with any of these things.”
All good! I was just curious if it was being listed somewhere as part of South Africa. I've lived in both and I was about to go: They are, distinctly different places.
I've heard him claim that he gets to have another term because this one doesn't count, because people are mean to him. For the Supreme Court, the constitution doesn't indicate any sort of precedent. Buncha fucking idiots.
Exactly this. If/when he runs, he'll surely get the Republican nomination, and Roberts on the Federalist Society's Supreme Court will go "🤷♂️🤷♂️ golly heck, ain't that somethin'," and refuse to do anything about it. No one will go up against him, and wealthy businesses will once again line up to throw money at him.

We do not have a president. We have a dictator.

I prefer to think of him as a petulant child rocket sledding into dementia.

I think I would have liked your dad. I’m sorry for your loss.

He was a character, I'll just leave it at that

Gotta get the full answer, since "unfortunately Ronald Reagan" would also be plausible.

Doc here. I may actually use this. 😆

I suspect it’s the doctor’s equivalent of a “stock line” in comedy.

I should have qualified his response—his tone indicated his disgust for the proper answer.

He could say Trump and still think it's his first term. lol

That didn’t even occur to me! :)

"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"But I don't like it."

Dr: Youve been in a coma for 3 weeks. Do you know who the president is?
Patient: heart rate spikes followed quickly by flatline.

Patient from Namibia: Adolf Hitler was reelected.
Doctor: Ok sir, let's get you to dementia ward.

This made me laugh because of how absurd it sounded. Is there some historical background?

ModsSometimesHeedMyScamWarnings
Do you mean: Namibia (Southern Africa)? Cause it currently makes it sound like it's a place like Lesotho that's in South Africa but not part of.
Temzilla
yeah was a mis type

Oh, so it's actual good news for once. Thank you!

During Biden's term in office i stopped asking...people would still say Trump...because they thought the election was stolen...

Definitely had a few triumphant TRUMP! on evaluation...

I mean, "thought" is a little generous, no?

Given that this is meant to test basic brain functions, I'd say it still worked.
nation543
Basic is the keyword, here. Higher intellectual thought would have caused those particular brains to explode at that moment.

then why does trump get to have a third term, I mean legally speaking? That is something i dont ever hear asked to those idiots.
DigitalWaffle
He doesn't. The law is clear, 2 terms!

TheMershedPerderder
I think it's because he didn't serve the term. People like DeJoy were not fired by Biden, so some things couldn't 'heal' properly between terms.
SavageDrums
Because he wants to, and nobody seems to be interested in stopping him

Exactly this.
