Donald Trump is proud of his ‘bear question’ cognitive test

Trump’s latest comments are far from the first time he has publicly praised his own cognitive test results.

At an earlier Cabinet meeting, the president emphasized, “I am the only president who has ever taken a cognitive test. I took it three times. It’s actually a very tough test for a lot of people,” before adding: “It wasn’t hard for me.”

Trump also claimed he answered every question correctly on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a screening tool used to detect cognitive impairment and early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, and recalled a doctor telling him, “I’ve never seen anyone get them all right.”

But not everyone was impressed. Jonathan Reiner, who previously worked as a cardiologist for Dick Cheney, criticized Trump’s comments Xwrite: “If I were one of the president’s advisors, I would beg him to stop bragging about doing well on a dementia screening tool that requires the patient to identify a camel and subtract 7 from 100.”

In April, Jamie Raskin, a top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, officially requested that the president receive a “comprehensive” cognitive test after his wild rants on Truth Socual to spare dementia concerns.
