Jimmy Kimmel proved once and for all how easy it was for President Donald Trump to pass the cognitive exam<\/a> he took at Walter Reed Medical Center. <\/p>\n

In his Monday night monologue, Kimmel showed a Truth Social post from Trump bragging about having aced his \u201cCognitive Examination, which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the interest of fairness, and also to get a sense of what he keeps babbling about, we got in touch with a doctor who gives this test regularly, these cognitive exams,\u201d Kimmel explained. \u201cAnd I asked her to administer one to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel explained, \u201cThis is the official exam administered by a medical professional. I did not see the questions ahead of time. And I\u2019m willing to release the full unedited version if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that said, let\u2019s find out just how difficult this big, beautiful test is,\u201d Kimmel said, \u201cand how my brain stacks up against our stable genius president\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel played a 4-minute clip of himself taking the real cognitive exam that Trump had described<\/a> as \u201cnot easy.\u201d <\/p>\n

The test had Kimmel connect some dots, name some words that start with \u201cf,\u201d and correctly identify basic drawings of a lion, a rhino, and a camel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just saw Zootopia, so I know all the answers,” Kimmel jokingly bragged upon acing the animal section.<\/p>\n

The medical professional tallied up Kimmel\u2019s points and told him he got a \u201cperfect score.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel replied, \u201cSo I can be president.\u201d<\/p>\n

The segment comes after months of Kimmel trolling Trump over his cognitive bragging. Kimmel has repeatedly argued that passing a test designed<\/a> to detect cognitive impairment is a low bar for a president to clear.<\/p>\n

In October 2025, Kimmel defended<\/a> Democratic representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett when Trump claimed they wouldn\u2019t be able to pass the test themselves.<\/p>\n

Kimmel invited Crockett to a video interview on his show and jokingly quizzed her with a few questions from the test. When Crockett correctly identified a drawing of an elephant, Kimmel joked, \u201cWow, you\u2019re gonna crush this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel proved once and for all how easy it was for President Donald Trump to pass the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":496203,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[185,1144,77,171,11171,50812,15467,399,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-496202","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-comedy","10":"tag-donald-j-trump","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","13":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","14":"tag-late-night","15":"tag-television","16":"tag-tv","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115847532818602863","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
