A bowl of ice cream.

2. Trump's list, "person, woman, man, camera, tv," which I was also able to remember easily

because they were related items (plus something Trump was obviously looking at and concerned with, camera and tv), were not the items on the actual test. On one version of it, the words are face, velvet, church, daisy, and red - things that aren't related to each other and wouldn't necessarily be present as a memory trigger. Sitting right here, I could list book, cat, window, couch and tv, and easily remember them because I'm looking at them. I really wonder how well he did. You can expect him to lie about it; he lies about everything else. He thinks it's an IQ test. He'd get a 30 on one of those too.

The "camera TV" at the end came off really odd as part of a supposedly random list of unrelated words. As part of what Dotard can see in front of himself as he's being interviewed for TV, though, it makes perfect sense.

like the ones Obama took at Harvard or Bill Clinton at Oxford. How disappointed he would be to find no pictures.

Release Trump's cognitive test results.

Unless, of course, they are being audited.
