US President Donald Trump has admitted his doctors were very surprised when he aced a cognitive test at Walter Reed Hospital in an effort to prove his intelligence. President informed Fox News host Sean Hannity in a telephone interview, he said, “I actually took one very recently when, you know, the radical left was saying, ‘Is he all there? Is he all there?’ I proved I was all there because I aced it. I aced the test. I took it at Walter Reed Medical Centre in front of doctors and they were very surprised. They said that’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anyone do what you just did”? It is noteworthy that the president didn’t disclose to the Fox News host when or what type of cognitive test he took at the hospital.
President Trump’s top physician disclosed results from Trump’s MOCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) in 2018, in which he obtained a perfect score. The assessment normally administered to older people tests the patient’s ability to identify pictures of animals, performs word-recall, and other cognitive functions. President claimed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden could not pass a cognitive test. Point to be noted that both men could become the oldest president-elect in November. 74-year-old Trump has continued to attack 77-year-old Biden. Trump’s comments came during criticism passed between the 2 septuagenarians. They have challenged each other’s cognitive abilities.
Donald Trump also alleged on Thursday that Biden wasn’t tested because he couldn’t pass one. He said, “He didn’t mean that because he hasn’t taken any kind of cognitive tests because he couldn’t pass one”. Trump’s interview is supposedly pushing for his competitor to also perform a cognitive test to prove his own mental stability. He said Biden should take that same test. Point to be noted that Biden had been asked whether or not he was tested for cognitive decline. President also tweeted and said Biden could not ace the same MOCA administered to the president upon request in 2018. Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale also taunted Biden.
