Former President Donald Trump recently announced that he aced a recent cognitive test, labeling his results as flawless and showcasing what he called “extreme intelligence.” Trump shared his test outcomes on Truth Social, claiming to have achieved a perfect score. He proudly stated he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive assessment and received excellent results on his physical examination. Trump took a swipe at past presidents and vice presidents, asserting that unlike them, he had taken and excelled in a rigorous cognitive test. He emphasized that this was his fourth perfect score on such tests, with 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked each time.
Trump went on to suggest that all presidential and vice-presidential candidates should be mandated to undergo challenging cognitive tests, urging Congress and Democrats to make it a requirement. Earlier in the week, Trump revealed that he had completed his routine annual physical examination at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, reporting that everything was in perfect order. The White House described the check-up as a standard preventative medical and dental assessment, marking Trump’s fourth publicly disclosed medical examination since his second term began.
Despite Trump’s claims, critics expressed skepticism, questioning the validity of his statements. Some likened his health updates to his approach to golf scores, election maps, and crowd sizes, while others pointed out visible health issues that contradicted his assertions.
