I respect your points about privacy requirements and proper test taking/score recording. These issues are important to protect the patient and maintain the integrity of the test.

The situation with Trump, however, is different. He's the president so all of the normal rules go out the window. His test results would never be made public as we've seen with the false reports about his health.

If something is seriously wrong with Trump, there's no way his handlers would tell us.
