The early June meeting in the Cabinet Room was intended as a general update on President Trumps reelection campaign, but the president had other topics on his mind.
Trump had taken a cognitive screening test as part of his 2018 physical, and now, more than two years later, he brought up the 10-minute exam. He waxed on about how hed dazzled the proctors with his stellar performance, according to two people familiar with his comments. He walked the room of about two dozen White House and reelection officials through some of the questions he said hed aced, such as being able to repeat five words in order.
At the time, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment which includes animal pictures and other simple queries aimed at detecting mild cognitive impairment such as dementia was intended to quell questions about Trumps mental fitness. But in recalling it, Trump said he thought presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden would never be able to pass it and suggested challenging him to take the test, said the people familiar with Trumps comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private details.

He looks and acts like he is heading for a major event with his anger management problems making it much worse. trump's mentally unfit for office now. Parkinson's can display in many ways , and could easily be one of his issues , but he has numerous things going on it looks like to me. He looks like shxt . How old is he now, 80.lol.

We should never let up on this.
