  1. Just watch his public performances, and unhinged posts; no tests required.

  2. > “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’

    The actual words on the test, which are standardized, are Face, Velvet, Church, Daisy, Red.

    Make of that what you will.

  3. It was always weird that Trump was boasting about a mental test they only administer to the compromised.

    One could wonder why he didn’t publish his results? How do we know he aced these tests? How do we know his wife is a citizen? Do we even know if she is alive?

  4. Mr. Trump what trail did Peter Rabbit hop down?

    Hint: bun

  5. Trump has talked a lot about how difficult this test is. It’s a screening test for dementia. If you find it to be difficult, that’s probably because you have dementia.

  6. Has it ever been said why Trump even took that test? It’s not mandated by law and I haven’t heard of that being a standard test doctors do. I doubt he would have agreed to do it if he didn’t have something going on. Did he have a mild stroke or something?

  7. No surprise. Remember, the moment he became president he had Cohen go to his prior schools he attended Wharton and even his High School and threatened them so they would never release his grades and student records. Should tell you a lot right there.

  8. Hard to believe that people still buy this stuff after he cant even remember his family members’ names

  9. Shit, he still cant figure out where he left “Melanie”.. or “Mercedes”.. or where their lovely son Barney went..

  10. So he passed mental test. I don’t get it, is passing good or failing good? I can’t see any benefit to bragging about this. I think passing this test is probably bad since it marks you as someone that had to take a mental test.

  11. So should everyone who watches this guy and thinks he’s the next best thing since sliced bread.

  12. Donald Trump can’t string words together that doesn’t sound like verbal diarrhea.

  13. This dude got a cheer for successfully drinking a glass of water.

  14. It won’t be long and he’ll be curled up in the fetal position in a corner, staring blankly at the ceiling, and drooling while sucking on his two middle fingers.

  15. I don’t know how anyone has listened to this dude since 2015 and not questioned his mental acuity.

    Trump is not a smart man…never was.

  16. Isn’t he due for a follow up to see how far his dementia has progressed? Those tests are just markers of loss as time goes by.

  17. Ronnie Jackson, whose stint as White House doctor was recently revealed to have handed out drugs to whoever asked, very liberally.

  18. every candidate should have to take an abbreviated HS exit exam with small hand written essay. history, government, civics, basic math, basic science, reading comp and geography.

  19. >As White House physician in 2018, Jackson told reporters that Trump had received a perfect score on a cognitive test and said there was “no reason whatsoever to think the president has any issues whatsoever with his thought processes.”

    Except, of course, every single incoherent babbling thing that comes out of his demented mouth.

  20. The fact that he even takes the tests is worrying.

    The fact that he brags about it is worse.

    The fact he thinks they are hard is the icing on the shit cake.

  21. Can the man even put the pegs in the right holes? Can he say the alphabet without failing? Hell can he color between the lines? His brain was fried the day he was born.

  22. Where’s the proof Trump passed the test. He’s a compulsive liar. Evidence suggests the opposite.

  23. As if anyone needed to test him, or to hear Fox News opinion on said test

  24. Trumps actual mental state notwithstanding, this is such a nothing article. All it says is the token Democrat on The Five pointed out the ridiculousness of Trump’s touting of acing the MOCA test for cognitive impairment in response to the other panelists’ typical hypocritical judgment of Biden’s supposed cognitive decline. But of course he was, as planned in this show, immediately shot down by the rest of the panel in phony theatrics framed as “debate”.

    This rebuttal is old, and this same story has played out on Fox a million times before with no significant change in the network’s overall rhetoric of disingenuous conservative pandering. It’s only meant to give Fox the appearance of legitimacy and credibility where it has none. Better off ignoring the channel and everything about it entirely.

  25. Not the Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV test?

    Nobody could believe how phenomum… phemonem… phememonul…

    Point is, you can’t get fooled again.

  26. MAGA doesn’t care. Standards – whether they be ethical, intellectual, moral, religious, even just for simple legal capacity to understand – just don’t matter anymore.

  27. I don’t give a fuck about his mental acuity. He tried to orchestrate a coup. He is a traitor and has aspirations to become a dictator in the United States.

  28. It feels relevant, so I’m going to repost a recent comment of mine about this exact topic.

    Trump has bragged several times over the years (both while in office and after) about performing well on “incredibly complicated” cognitive tests. Three things about that:

    1. ⁠The test that he’s talking about is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, a very basic survey that is used for screening cognitive impairment and dementia.
    2. ⁠During an interview with Chris Wallace in 2020, Trump stated that the test grew progressively more difficult and that most people wouldn’t be able to answer the last five questions. Those questions are: Repeating two short sentences word-for-word, saying 11 words that begin with the letter F in one minute, identifying the commonality between two items (for example, determining that a banana and an orange are both fruit), recalling five words that you were asked to remember earlier in the test, and being able to recall basic information about your current situation (date, day of the week, and current location). An elementary school student could do all of that, but to Trump it was increasingly difficult?
    3. ⁠The test can be requested by patients or ordered by doctors, but it is only ever used when there are concerns regarding a patient’s cognitive ability. Trump wouldn’t be taking these tests if his mental faculties weren’t an issue.

    If you don’t think that Trump’s lack of coherent speaking ability and overall cognitive function is medical in nature than you’re out of your mind.

  29. He doesn’t care. He needs to brag. If you told him you broke your leg skiing, he would tell you he broke both legs and set a downhill speed record

  30. After hearing him talk even when he was more in his right mind, rational people should know he is cognitively impaired. Narcissism is a helluva drug. As is laziness. Nice that Fox questions things more.

  31. Reagan pretty much had full blown Alzheimer’s during his 2nd term. Bush II was a doofus. The GOP would dig up Hitler’s corpse and run it on their ticket if they could. They just need a 2D caricature who is easily manipulated and will get votes. They stopped caring about mental acuity in any of their candidates after Nixon, and these days it’s a plus if their candidate can scream and throw shit like a caged baboon.

  32. Holy shit the Newsweek site is fucking cancer. I could barely get through this article.
