President Donald Trump once again boasted about having “aced” three cognitive tests in wide-ranging remarks.

As concerns around the 79-year-old president’s health and mental fitness continue to mount — particularly after his rambling speech earlier this week, apparently falling asleep at several events including a Cabinet meeting, and his controversial Truth Social post about late filmmaker Rob Reiner — Trump reminded a North Carolina crowd on Friday that he’s “aced” several cognitive exams and is in “perfect health.”

“I did something no other president's ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that and by the way, not easy,” Trump said in his Friday speech that was reportedly meant to focus on the economy.

He then took the opportunity to opine about how his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, would’ve performed on the mental fitness test: “You get to those last questions, those last 10, 15 questions…and I aced them. And no other president's taken a cog–... Could you imagine sleepy Joe taking a cognitive test?” The president then told the audience about the test, which apparently began with a question asking to identify animals.

1. How do people sit there and listen to that? He is so deranged.

2. Aardvark, Beaver, cat . . . .zebra!

Ask him to name one animal for each letter of the alphabet.

I bet he fails that cognitive test dismally!

It requires memory skills and keeping track of where you are in the alphabet.
Difficult for those with impaired cognitive skills.

Try it!

Yes, colors are allowed if you get stuck - y= yellow canary for instance.

6. How 'bout

Schrödinger's cat?

16. Good test. I had trouble with U.

I looked it up and actually knew a couple of them.

3. Has no reporter ever asked WHY?

Why do your doctors, or staff, keep insisting that you take dementia tests? Why another, then another? What are they concerned about? What did you do to spur this concern? Why do reporters treat the orange clown differently that they did President Biden? Where is Jake Tapper's book about this?

15. My late mother-in-law, with diagnosed Alzheimers, "passed"

simple cognitive tests...and yet, she couldn't draw a clock..a very big dementia "tell"...

my question to reporters (and I use the term "reporters" loosely because they do not report they entertain) is why do they not correct the "I passed the cognitive test" narrative with the definition of a cognitive test...a test where there is no pass/fail ...no attaboy, no gold star, no A+++++...a test that evaluates the brain's function...thinking/memory/language... a test intended to spot mental impairment...

if liar Trump is somehow telling the truth as to the multitude of cognitive tests, then it's obvious to me his doctors are aware his dementia is incrementally worsening...

and it's also obvious the media is more concerned about access to that bloviating psychotic degenerate then informing the public...

4. WTaF?

“The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.

Is this a test for a six year old?

12. And he said they're "not easy".

That should be enough said.

[Demobrat]

5. Why would anyone be taking these tests repeatedly

unless there was concern that their cognitive abilities were impaired?
Just wondering.

[AZ8theist]

7. More gaslighting of America.

He is MONUMENTALLY STUPID.
He is FUCKING SENILE.
He is DEMENTED.
He has a 4th grade intellect.
He SPEAKS at a 4th grade level.
He is the DUMBEST President in US history.

He is, perhaps, the dumbest human in human history.

Saying he "aced" a cognitive test designed to track mental decline, a test any 3 year old could pass, is an indication this fucking asshole has one foot in the looney bin, and hopefully 2 feet in the grave.

Just fucking DIE, you fucking garbage sub-human. The WORLD will welcome that event.

10. I'm ready for my soon-to-be favorite record,

"Dancin' In The Streets."

8. Banana, chair, sunrise. I aced it too, back in November.

The nice young lady was chuckling as she asked the questions. We had talked about things and she knew I didn't have Trumpmentia.

[twodogsbarking]

9. Ask him the name of his present wife. Fail.

[llmart]

14. To be fair...

he has had more than one. That makes it more difficult.

I would also ask him the names of his children. For sure he couldn't get that straight.

[twodogsbarking]

18. I wouldn't want to be linked to any of those kids either.

[3Hotdogs]

11. I always stumble over Hippy-ponty mist.

[Paladin]

13. NOW you did it! You gave trump the answer! (nt)

[The Madcap]

17. A third one?

Does that mean they are starting to space them closer together? I hadn't heard there was a third test.
