47. Excuses? Are you joking?

I'm identifying when he took the test. How you are twisting that into giving him an excuse is beyond me.

He took it. He took it in January, a little over 2 years ago. And it proves his incompetence even more that he is bragging about it two years after the fact.

His quotes and exact statements are what match, precisely, with the published statements at the time he took the test in 2018 - as I've already pointed out and matched up.

And here's yet one more eact match:

Ronny Jackson is the physician mentioned in all of 2018 articles. Those articles indicate he asked Jackson for some test to get the people who thought he was incompetent off his back - pretty much exactly how he describes it in the Lincoln Project clip. Same doctor. Same basis for asking for the test.

And, in case that doesn't settle it, the last day Jackson was Trump's physician was March 28, 2018. Well before the November 2019 trip to Walter Reed.

Actually, a cognitive test is part of an annual " Medicare exam." Silver Swan Jul 2020 #18

My own question is: who gave him the test answers in advance? ancianita Jul 2020 #21

He was at Walter Reed in 2018 for his annual physical. Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #23

Yup. Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #29

He went to Walter Reed In Nov. 2019 and never released why TeamPooka Jul 2020 #30

There is nothing but his statement that he took it recently to connect it to Walter Reed. Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #31

nothing to connect it to Walter Reed except that he said it, again and again. Here you go TeamPooka Jul 2020 #34

About those pesky facts. Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #38

That is the first time he has said Ronny's name in this recent context. TeamPooka Jul 2020 #49
