5. I've taken the cognitive test 3 times in the last 3 years in

connection with my annual Medicare wellness checkup. They ask you to walk up a corridor and back and observe and time you. They ask you to draw the famous clock and give you 3 words to remember and repeat a few minutes later (not 20 minutes later). They ask you how things have been in your life over the last year and if anything has changed. That is it. NOW, I have been to the emergency room twice over the last 3 years, once for a breathing problem and once when I shattered my pelvis in a fall. Neither time did they give me a cognitive test. Even with my fall, all they asked me is how my head felt and if I had hit it. No cognitive test.

The logical conclusion is that Trump had some sort of a cerebrovascular accident and a (more detailed) cognitive test was called for.

The fact that the man seems obsessed with the test and has failed to accurately describe it tells me that he has some permanent impairment that has affected his judgment which was lousy to start with.
