Even though she was suffering from progressive dementia at first she was able to correctly answer the test with few errors. It is a standard test that was given to her at every appointment every twelve months by a board certified Neurologist M.D. This test is extremely easy for anyone with normal functioning mental capacity. It has both a visual and audio tests that even young children can easily pass. The most difficult part was to remember a short list of objects, colors at first was able to recall most of the times. As the disease progressed she had increasing difficulty especially the verbal part. That Trump would attempt to claim that the test was difficult is only evidence that his mental ability is not up to normal standards.
