Former president Donald Trump is apparently furious over a new poll from The Wall Street Journal that shows nearly half of American voters think he’s mentally unfit to return to the presidency.
Trump took to Truth Social on Tuesday to throw down a challenge of mental acuity and physical fitness to the Murdoch Family of Fox News, President Joe Biden, and “WSJ heads” — in that order.
“In a phony and probably rigged Wall Street Journal poll, coming out of nowhere to softened [sic] the mental incompetence blow that is so obvious with Crooked Joe Bien, they ask about my age and mentality,” Trump wrote.
“Where did that come from? I was the only one to agree to a mental acuity test, & ACED IT.
“Now that the Globalists at Fox & the WSJ have failed to push their 3rd tier candidate to success, they do this. Well, I hereby challenge Rupert Murdoch & Sons, Biden, WSJ heads, to acuity tests!”
Trump didn’t stop there. He also challenged his foes to a physical fitness contest while posting a highlight reel of him playing sports throughout his life.
“I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one,” Trump wrote. “Nobody will come even [come] close to me! We can also throw some physical activity into it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players. To do so you need strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental toughness.”
The world was quick to react to the shocking challenge, with many noticing that Trump didn’t bother to challenge his chief Republican presidential rival, Governor Ron DeSantis:
