Odds on tweetstorm later decrying Fox News as deep state antifa and directing the faithful to OANN for their fair and balanced news...
More than likely.
Also, he now says he takes responsibility for everything. I hope Biden uses that quote repeatedly

Related to the Fox New polls showing Trump down 8 points (remember, Fox News polls are reputable and generally pretty neutral), that poll also found his approval rating as only a net -8 points, vs the current 538 average of -15 points. Doesn't mean the poll is wrong, but does show how it fits into the averages.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday recorded at the White House on Friday, Trump said “I’m not losing, because those are fake polls” and refused to say if he would accept the result if Biden won in November.
“I have to see,” Trump said. “I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.”
Trump has no power to cancel the election. If somehow the electoral college fails to vote, he still stop being president on 20th January. Then it goes through the line of succession which would probably put Pelosi in the Oval Office.
Wouldn’t claiming that the cognitive test he took was easy make it sound like he’s more cognitively able? By saying the last 5 questions were hard just makes it sound like he struggled.

Don't forget, you're not allowed to use a calculator for the 100 minus 7 question. I've been giving it some thought and reckon it's 93 but would be interested to hear the views of others.
The animal with a trunk is an elephant, google it.

There were example questions on an article I saw, can't remember where.
I think it's multiple choice.
There are people who don't have cognitive dysfunction who nevertheless struggle with mental arithmetic, so they've presumably designed the test to get around that issue.

Suck it up Libtard, Trump knows all the the sums, he has has all the best sums, big sums, ocean sums, more and more people are saying it.
Here he is showing his absolute mastery about knowing all the knowledge about the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic which happened in 1918, though not many people know it and some have only just learnt it.
“Who would have thought? 1917. It could have been up to 100 million people were killed in — that was the Spanish flu — 1917 Who would have thought this was going to happen? That’s .... *POTUS goes silent for a second, face scrunched up in intense concentration, lips moving soundlessly, tiny pudgy baby fingers counting off each other* ... over 100 years ago.”

As an aside, doesn't this sound a bit like Brexit if you swap EU for New Deal and Conservative for Republican...? (perhaps this should be continued in a separate thread...):
This is the conventional history of right-wing populism — that it was a postwar backlash against the New Deal and the Republican Party’s inability or unwillingness to roll it back. The movement believed the government had been subverted, perhaps consciously, by conspirators seeking to impose some form of socialism, communism, or world government. Its “paranoid style,” so described by historian Richard Hofstadter, became warped with anti-intellectualism, reflecting a “conflict between businessmen of certain types and the New Deal bureaucracy, which has spilled over into a resentment of intellectuals and experts.” Its followers seemed prone to “a disorder in relation to authority, characterized by an inability to find other modes for human relationship than those of more or less complete domination or submission.” Perhaps this sounds like someone you’ve heard of.
Ohio has been a swing state for a long time. But it showed a huge swing in 2016. Obama won by 5 in 2008 and 3 in 2012, Clinton lost by 8 in 2016.
Definitely can be reclaimed.
Iowa had the biggest turnaround - much more Trumpy than average (Obama by 6 in 2012, Trump by 9 in 2016). Wisconsin (+7 to -1) and Maine (+15 to +3) also swung significantly more than average.

Looks like trump has finally started taking coronavirus seriously. I wonder if he'll recover any polling as a result?
Latest polls show him down 4-5 points in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Is anyone else at least mildly worried about the planned rollout of an army of anonymous masked men with a lot of weapons who are fanatically loyal to Trump in the context of this election and Trump's obvious impending loss?

I might quibble about the term "trump fanatics", but they're highly militaristic (but not military), have no links to the communities they're being sent to and therefore no stake in them and highly unlikely not too obey orders that are given by people who only want to see one outcome and that is the crushing of opposition by force (they want to send a message about being big and strong). So, it's splitting hairs, but it comes to the same thing... especially when you're in the receiving end of the tear gas or being bundled into unmarked vans.

That needs the ability to reflect and realise that other people see the world differently from you.
He couldn't manage that even before his dementia was obvious, as he's too self-obsessed.
What is today's date (3 points, date/month/year)
What day of the week is it?
Where are you?
What city are you in?
I’ll bet you couldn’t even answer the last five* questions. I’ll bet you couldn’t, they get very hard, the last five* questions.
*Or six, whatever.

I had a go at these. I looked up the answers online. Somebody else says the answers are completely different to mine. I only got "July" and "2020" right.

Harder than it looks.
I blame the Groundhog Day like nature of our current existence to my not even knowing what century we are in.
