If tRump is so brilliant, he can prove it with a REAL memory test--

Harry Nelson Pillsbury, an American chessmaster in the 1890s til his early death in 1906, was famous for his prodigious feats of memory. In 1902, he set a world record by playing twenty-two simultaneous games of chess blindfolded against master-caliber opponents. On one occasion, two university professors gave him a truly grueling memory test by having him memorize a list of thirty words read to him once. He not only repeated them in correct order, but also recited them in order backwards!--and then repeated the feat the next day with no difficulty, without hearing them again.

The words: Antiphlogistine, periosteum, takadiastase, plasmon, Threlkeld, streptococcus, Mississippi, Etchenberg, plasmodium, Salamagundi, philosophy, Freiheit, Bangmamvate, staphylococcus, Philadelphia, no war, Oomisillecootsi, athletics, Russian, micrococcus, Cincinnati, Piet Potgelter's Rost, catechism, Schlecter's Nek, American, theosophy, Manyinzama, Madjescomalops, humerus, ungulate.

I doubt Cockwomble could pronounce half of them, let alone memorize them.

1. Hey, Trump

Here's a real memory test for you:

First, name the top five campaign promises you made in 2016.

Then, tell us which ones have been accomplished.

Bonus points if you can tell us the day and date.
