Donald Trump Bragged About It. Now You Can Wear It: Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. – Vogue

It was the phrase heard round the world. And now you can wear it on your chest and head and even over your mouth.

On Wednesday in an interview with Fox News, President Donald Trump, doubling down on a dubious claim he had first made on Sunday in an interview with Fox anchor Chris Wallace, went into a lengthy discussion of the cognitive test he had taken, claiming yet again that the doctors who administered the test deemed his performance amazing.

As an example, he discussed one particular question, in which he was told five words and then later asked to repeat them. As everyone now knows, those words were Person, woman, man, camera, TV. As the interviewer, Marc Siegel, looked on patiently (although a thought bubble might have read, What the hell is he talking about?), Trump continued to brag about his performance, saying that he had gotten extra points for not only remembering the words but also repeating them back in the right order. (Its actually not that easy, but for me it was easy.) He claimed the doctors had said to him, Thats amazing. How did you do that? He said he responded by saying, I do it because I have, like, a good memory, because Im cognitively there.

He then again repeated the sequence of wordsif somewhat more haltingly the second time around.

Immediately, it became the phrase of the 2020 campaign, though perhaps without the majesty of such previous slogans like Morning in America or the pop-culture knowingness of Wheres the beef? Suddenly mocking tweets, memes, and even a catchy music video appeared. Sarah Cooper, who has become a TikTok star by lip-synching Trumps speeches to hilarious effect, rushed out a funny new video. And The Late Show With Stephen Colbert produced a minute-and-a-half trailer for a new movie that examines one of the great minds in history. As a series of clips of Trump played in sequence, including him reciting those five now famous five words, an announcer intoned, He saw the world in a way no one could imagine, adding, From the makers of A Beautiful Mind comes A Good Brain...coming soon to a person, woman, man, camera, TV near you.
