CNN’s Chris Cuomo said Thursday that Donald Trump was pointing to Joe Biden’s “mental acuity” because it was something the President was lacking in his own mental capacity.
Cuomo said, “We had assumed the president was refusing to help us with testing because he was making a political calculation, but, regrettably, we may have been wrong. Today this president gave us reason to believe that his judgment may not just be bad. It may be impaired. Did you hear this?”
"Hooked on phonics much?" @ChrisCuomo asks as President Trump makes a series of verbal blunders even while mocking rival Joe Biden's mental acuity.
"Is there something going on?" asks Cuomo. https://t.co/WQoVleHqYt pic.twitter.com/cicuK4ugBC

Chris Cuomo: ‘He’s the only Christian I’ve ever known who says he’s never needed God’s forgiveness’
President Trump said during an interview, “He is going to do things that nobody would ever, would ever think even possible — take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God. He’s against God.”
Cuomo said, “Those are the rantings of someone shouting at the sky and hoping for spare change. A man responsible for your and my family really believes that a political opponent is trying to hurt God and hurt the Bible? Whatever that means? I mean, do you find that wisdom in that 2 Corinthian part of the book that he made up?”
“He’s the only Christian I’ve ever known who says he’s never needed God’s forgiveness,” Cuomo said. “He’s the only Christian I know who’s almost never been seen attending a service.”
“But the time has come to look past his faith,” Cuomo ranted, “It is time to look at this man’s behavior through the lens not just of a man who simply lacks moral agency but, perhaps, basic cogency.”

Cuomo: ‘He wants to talk about being a good Christian?’
The CNN host added, “I mean, is this about being devout or just dumb? He doesn’t know whose it is. He doesn’t know what’s in it. He certainly doesn’t know how to live by the message. But he wants to talk about being a good Christian?”
“A man who puts kids in cages because he likes the message it sends?” Cuomo charged. “I don’t think, though, this is just about faith. I really believe it is time to take a look at his fortitude.”
BIDEN: "No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? C'mon man. That's like saying you, before you got in this program, if you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not, what do you think huh? Are you a junkie?" pic.twitter.com/f6UMPJq381

Trump said in a clip, “And to avoid liability, shifting production to ‘thigh land’ and Vietnam.”
Cuomo said, “Thigh land? Hooked on phonics much?”
He continued, “I don’t know if it’s phonics or basic brain function… this man messes up words more than any sober talker I’ve ever heard.”
