Two MSNBC anchors couldn't help but mock President Donald Trump and his latest boastful "cognitive" rant, joking it was "madness at work!"
Jen Psaki and Lawrence O’Donnell Tuesday night laughed hard at Trump after he bragged this week about taking a cognitive test at Walter Reed Medical Center. The test reportedly asked Trump to sketch a clock, recognize animal photos and repeat five words in a list.
"Donald Trump was feeling extra proud of himself yesterday because he passed a really difficult test, one that he bragged had some very hard questions. Questions like, name these animals and draw a clock. Good job, Mr. President!" Psaki joked.
"For his part, House Speaker Mike Johnson held a press conference earlier [Tuesday] where he rattled through a litany of accusations against a certain former president, seemingly completely unaware of just how close to home his critiques were hitting," she added.
Then, a split-screen video juxtaposed Johnson's claims with the president's actions and behaviors.
"Maybe someone needs to ask Mike Johnson to name a few animals, maybe," Psaki teased, before segueing into O'Donnell's show.
The two quipped about the president's statements.
"Hey, Jen, I haven’t taken any What Animal Is That questions lately," O'Donnell said, as they both laughed. "I don’t remember them being too tough whenever I did take them, that’s for sure."
"Me neither. We could pass those with flying colors, I’m fairly certain, but we wouldn’t be given them so frequently, I don’t think, either," Psaki said.
"You’re seeing madness at work every day down there!" O'Donnell joked.
"No question about it!" she said, laughing.
