Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. 'Which is the squirrel?'"

‘Cus no other President has shown signs of Sundowners Syndrome affecting them with dementia or Alzheimer’s, characterized by increased confusion, anxiety, agitation, and behavioral issues that begin or worsen in the late afternoon or early evening. Sound familiar, Sir?

American tax payers are already on the hook for the most expensive nursing home in the world for this corrupt, gibber ranting imbecile. Now we have to also pay for this shithead's ballroom?

Wait. So he's been administered cognitive tests once in his first four year and twice in his second (checks notes) 16 months? That is... a very normal and not at all geometric progression. By 2028 he will only be taking cognitive tests.

What was the second question? How do you end a war? Yes... a hard one... Ps I love you Amerika...but 4 years Trump, again?... Why did you vote this man?

Right. But he's taken multiple and he's just quipping, as they say. So if you've taken three tests with different animals and you're just telling a story, you might throw a bunch of what you've seen, into the story. He's not up there trying to really explain these tests.

“It’s a very, very low bar for somebody who carries the nuclear launch codes in their pocket to pass and certainly nothing to brag about,” Jonathan Reiner, a George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences professor and cardiologist, told the outlet.

that's the sort of thing you would say if you wanted to get 25th'd so you don't get impeached medical exclusions sre how he got out of Vietnam and it's how he's going to get out of Iran

That’s akin to ‘no other President has taken a sobriety test..they are hard. You have to walk in a straight line , find your nose on your face.. count backwards from 100 by threes. No other President!’

“I have a mind like a steel trap. Great memory. Cognitive is off the charts. Every time they ask me to remember those animals, I can’t remember which ones they are of hand, squirrel? Reindeer? Platypus? Whatever. The point is, I have a great memory. What was the question?”

but is far from diagnostic, speaking as one whose spouse has told the same stories over and over for the 38 years we've known each other. His Aunt Beulah did that too he says, so if I don't want to hear a story yet again, I say, "Yes, Beulah" as our code.

Do I understand correctly? Trump is boasting that he can recognize a squirrel? That he knows a squirrel is different from an alligator? But he had to take that test three times? And he's proud he got through it?

Yes. Just a couple days ago.

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

I had noticed the same and it was funny how he added the shark that time. Doesn’t he hate sharks? Also, not on any MoCA test I’ve seen. I thought id ask AI to see what it said also lol

lol. Plus his version was “which one is a..” he claims, when it is supposed to be a naming exercise Really begs the question - how did he ace something he doesn’t recall accurately?

Obama, newsom, mamdani etc should all just go and take a bunch of these tests, it would only take them an hour or two. Imagine Trump bragging then a reporter telling him Obama did 10 before breakfast 😁

The world watches as citizens of the US of Shitholes stand by & watch Trump's fast advance into total lunacy & do nothing for him or country.No wonder Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking lasted so long even tho half of NYC knew about it.The world suffers cuz Congress/Senate are criminal cowards.

Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel." It's hard cuz you have to say which one is the child rapist.

Dude equates a cognitive test with an intelligence test. They are not the same thing. A cognitive test basically just shows whether someone’s brain is functioning normally, it has nothing to do with IQ, or however you want to measure intelligence.

Trump keeps adding new animals to the dementia screening test. There is no squirrel. There is no shark. And they only show you three animals at a time. It’s a known historical fact that Reagan took dementia screening tests. Likely that Biden did too. Like Trump, they showed signs of dementia.

I imagine during the test he is rambling about how Biden could never do as well as he does on these tests, and nobody wants to contradict him so they just tell him he's the first President to ever do it.

More likely a different person gives the test, saying:"this is the first time I've given it to a President! Shall we get started Sir?" Has anyone tested his hearing and eyesight?! It might explain the "Wheres' so n so? Are they here??" And the illogicaloff topic answers to questions....

Last Friday (at a speech in Florida) he said lion, giraffe, bear, shark. Today it’s lion, alligator, bear, squirrel. The standard version of MOCA includes a lion, so at least he is remembering that one correctly.

I was given this test after four rounds of chemo fried my brain. Because that’s who they give it to — people who may have cognitive impairment. I crushed it. No high-level analysis or problem solving required!

Also I was at a conference recently where a speaker talked about justice-involved folks with neuro-cog disorders. When she put up a slide of the test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), everyone in the room either groaned or snorted. Because… Trump.

So when you turn 65, Humana (as part of their advantage plan) you get a really easy cognitive as past of your annual checkup. The first is to draw a clock and the time they ask you to. Funny, our later generations will only know digital clocks. Then they tell you three items and at the end you tell

Yes. Every president should take one. And the results should be made public. And EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. The media must ask why the president has taken a dementia test (twice!) and demand to see the results.

The fact that he discloses it on the regular means he's so far gone that he doesn't comprehend the national security issues around repeatedly telling the world that you, potus, have a brain of tapioca.

The sheer number of different sets of animals he's named at this point would suggest one of two things.... 1. He's not able to remember the animals. 2. He's taken a significant amount more than 3 of these tests.

You know why this pisses me off so much? Two years ago I was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's, but only after three years of taking actual cognitive tests. Trump and RFK, Jr. destroyed the longitudinal studies that promised breakthroughs. Fuck him. Fuck him.

Enjoy the time you have left. My aunt went from fairly lucid to completely gone in 6 months. Truly a horrible disease. I'd rather have ALS.

I was diagnosed very early and started two medications that were approved in 2023. They have slowed the progress and mitigated the symptoms. Doc says I may have up to 10 years before it gets really ugly. That's why I was counting on the research pipeline. Trump took care of that.

There is no Congressional member of the GOP that should retain his/her job after this level of enabling, and this grossly negligent level of abdication of Article 1 powers/RESPONSIBILITY.

He gave a different list of animals a few days ago.

Trump suggests his own supporters couldn’t pass a cognitive test. I took three of them. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions.

Donald has mentioned how the cognitive test gets harder and harder toward the end of the test. Here is the final question to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment: It measures your orientation to the world by having you name the following: Date Month Year Day Place City Yeah, pretty tough.

i will give a report $10,000 if they ask Trump if he understands the test he brags about is a dementia test NOT an intelligence test. Really surprised no reporter has asked him. they would be famous if they did.

I do the cognitive exercises once every 6 months. We have 3 gone from Alzheimer's. It's not hard. It's pattern recognition, drawing a clock and simple number stuff. I had to remember 3 words. I didn't have to identify any animals. Maybe he gets the picture one because he can't read

A lot of people seem confused so... There are slightly different versions of the test. He's been given several of them. He could also just be spouting bullshit like normal. Anyway. Last one is my favorite. 🤭 1/2

This moron is proud of the fact that he’s the only president who HAD to take a cognitive test and he had to take 3 of them. What an idiot

“No president has ever taken a cognitive test.” Maybe, I’m just saying, maybe, it is because it wasn’t needed for them? You get to have some medical tests only if you develop and show symptoms. And three of them? Those symptoms are apparently getting worse.

The fact he considers it hard is absolutely telling. If news broadcasters had any integrity, they'd bring up a version of the test every time he mentions it's hard. It's LAUGHABLY easy. The only thing I think anyone over the age of 12 would have problems with remembering the random words portion.

A reminder that it's not a cognitive test to get into NASA's astronaut program, it's a simple clinical screening tool to identify early dementia in elderly patients showing signs of mental decline. The fact that he's had to take it three times already shows those around him are clearly worried.
