Trump Brags He ‘Aced’ A Cognitive Test After Nikki Haley & Ron DeSantis Question His Mental Fitness

Former President Donald Trump has claimed that he recently passed a cognitive test that was designed to test for intelligence.

“I don’t know if you saw, but a few months ago, I took a cognitive test my doctor gave me,” Trump told his supporters during a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, on January 20. “I said, ‘give me a cognitive test,’ just so we can – you know – because – you know what the standards were. And I aced it.”

“But I also took one when I was in the White House,” he confessed. “I’ll let you know when I go bad. I really think I’ll be able to tell you, because some day, we go bad.”

“[Nikki Haley] talks about, ‘Yeah, we don’t need 80-year-old,’ Well I don’t mind being 80 but I’m 77,” he then stated mockingly. “That’s a big difference.”

The comments were made in response to Haley questioning if Trump was mentally capable of being president again after he repeatedly confused her for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a campaign speech on January 19.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly suggested that Trump “has lost his fast ball.”

For a long time, Trump has bragged about how he passed the test, known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), first administered prior to his 2020 election loss. It is mainly known as a test for dementia.

Trump repeatedly brought up how he mentioned how he was able to repeat back to a doctor the words “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”

Trump was widely ridiculed for the pride he felt in passing what most viewed as a simple test. However, this has not stopped him from discussing his test results since there that are now renewed questions about his mental acuity after a series of mistakes he made during recent rally appearances.

During the New Hampshire rally on January 20, Trump brought up what kind of questions were on the test.

“I think it was 35, 30 questions,” he stated. “They always show you the first one, like a giraffe, a tiger, or this, or that — a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?’ Okay? And that goes on for three or four [questions] and then it gets harder and harder and harder.”

The author of the test told reporters that there is no version of it with a whale.

During the Manchester, New Hampshire rally, Trump referred to the climate as “clime,” suggesting that he was having trouble pronouncing this word correctly.

“By the way they don’t work well in cold weather, and they don’t go far,” the former president stated about electric vehicles. “That’s true, they don’t go far. But it’s certainly not great for your clime. Your clime. They call it climate.”

In the 2016 campaign, Trump repeatedly confused Jeb Bush with either his brother, George W. Bush, or his father, George H.W. Bush.

Last month, Trump celebrated Biden’s 81st birthday by posting a letter from his doctor and New Jersey physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, on Truth Social stating that he is in “excellent” physical and mental health.
