Didn't Trump say he scored a 35 on that cognitive test?

“The test Trump took, as described by his physician in early 2018, was the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, a tool used by health professionals to identify signs of dementia or cognitive impairment.

It is a one-page assessment that typically takes about 10 minutes to complete and can yield a score of up to 30 points.”

Trump claimed that he was told by health professionals at Walter Reed Medical Center,
"That’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anyone do what you just did."

He promised them each $500.00 and dinner at KFC.

35 is the total of all their scores.

They are, of course, still waiting for payment.
