TFG said he took a cognitive test because he didn't 'like being called stupid' [View all]

Former President Trump apparently doesn't like his intelligence being called into question.

During Saturday's rally in Ohio, Trump detailed once again that he aced a cognitive test in 2018. "I don't like being called stupid," Trump said.

The test Trump referenced is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It is not an IQ test but rather a tool to spot early signs of dementia and other memory issues.

Chris Wallace, who interviewed Trump in 2020, told the former president that he had also taken the exam, and it was "not the hardest test."
