“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence.’ Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row.”

Notes:
The fact that he thinks the cognitive tests measure intelligence tell you everything you need to know.
“People that own homes, we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value homes, so that somebody that didn't work very hard can buy a home. [..] There's so much talk about "oh we're going to drive housing prices down. I don't wanna drive house prices down, I wanna drive housing prices up for people that own their homes.”

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!!”

“[Following comments by RFK Jr. about children who got circumcised early having higher rate of autism, which he claimed because of Tylenol]. You know. There's tremendous amount of proof or evidence I'd say. I'm not a doctor but I studied this a long time ago.”
— Cabinet meeting
Notes:
He didn't study shit.

“And the other thing I say to Europe, we'll not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful planes. And I'm not talking about airplanes, I'm talking talking beautiful planes; the beautiful areas in the United States. And you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It's a horrible thing. It's the most expensive form of energy. It's no good. They're made in Chain, almost all of them. When they start to rust and rot in eight years you can't really turn them off. You can't bury them, they won't let you bury the propellers, you know, the props, because they're a certain type of fiber that doesn't go well with the land. That's what they said. The environmentalists say you can't bury them because the fiber doesn't go well with the land. In other words, if you bury it, it'll harm our soil. The whole thing is a con job. It's very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and wind doesn't work, you need subsidy for wind. And energy shouldn't need subsidy, with energy you should make money, you don't lose money. But more important than that is it ruins the landscape. They're noisy. You know, you have a certain place in the Massachusetts area that over the last 20 years had one or two whales wash ashore, and over the last short period of time they had 19. Because it's driving them loco, it's driving them crazy now windmills will not come, it's not going to happen in the United States. ”
— A speech (rant) while meeting EU President Ursula Von Der Leyen
Notes:
The rant keeps going. P.S. he means wind turbines, not windmills.
“I know a lot about overtime, I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I’d get other people, I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay.”

“I'm very good at grass, because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I know more about grass than any human being than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world”
— During a meet-and-greet with law enforcement and National Guard troops in Washington, D.C.
Notes:
He doesn't. Safe to say, anyone who worked on the grass in those golf courses knows more than him.
“He's the head of a country, and I mean he's the strong head. Don't let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up and pay attention. I want my people to do the same.”

Guess who didn't start a war with Iran.
