For at least the third time this month, Pres. Trump has boasted about the results of a cognitive test he took as part of a physical exam in 2018 but now says he took 'less than a year ago.'
with Fox News’ Chris Wallace last week, Wallace said he, too, had taken the test after he heard the president took it and observed that it’s “not the hardest test.”“You see, that's all misrepresentation,” Trump countered. “It's all misrepresentation. Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions.
But as the president now touts his own “perfect mark” as proof of his mental fortitude, he has also taken to raising doubts about the acuity of his Democratic presidential challenger, challenging former Vice President Joe Biden to take the same test. The last time the president was known to have taken the test was during a physical exam two years ago, though he recently suggested he took the test more recently, telling Fox he asked to take the test “probably a year ago, a little less than a year ago.”
“I said to the doctor -- it was Dr. Ronny Jackson -- I said: ‘Is there some kind of a test, an acuity test?’ And he said: ‘There actually is. And he named it, whatever it might be. And it was 30 or 35 questions.”
