Trump Calls for 'Cognitive Test': Should Be Mandatory for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates

U.S. President Donald Trump, whose annual health screening results were shared with the public from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, commented on the report via his social media account. Trump stated that he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test he took, claiming it was an indicator of 'extreme intelligence.' He argued that none of the previous U.S. presidents had taken such a high-difficulty, approved cognitive test. Trump noted that he had answered all 120 questions correctly in the four tests he had taken so far, achieving a perfect score four times in a row, which he described as a very rare occurrence.

In his post, Trump combined the English words 'dumb' and 'Democrats' to refer to the opposition as 'Dumocrats,' arguing that all candidates participating in the presidential and vice-presidential race should be compelled to take challenging cognitive tests. Trump stated that Congress and the Democrats should demand this practice.
