During an interview Thursday, President Donald Trump said he recently took a cognitive test at Walter Reed Medical Center and “aced” it.
What We Know:
- Trump is 74 and Biden is 77. They both publically challenged each other on their mental fitness. “He should take the same exact test, a very standard test, but he should take that same test,” Trump said.
- On July 2, Trump tweeted: “He cannot pass the test I “aced”. He should give it a try!!!”
- “The radical left was saying, ‘Is he all there? Is he all there?’ and I proved I was all there because I aced it, I aced the test,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
- Trump did not specify when he took the test. He said the doctors were “very surprised” at the results. “They said, ‘that’s an unbelievable thing, rarely does anybody do what you just did,'” Trump added.
- Trump did score a 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment administered by White House physician Ronny Jackson in January 2018.
- Last month, Biden was questioned about his cognitive test abilities and he said he was “constantly” being tested. “I’ve been tested and I’m constantly tested,” Biden said. “Look, all you got to do is watch me, and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.”
Trump never specified which type of cognitive test he took.
