CNN Doctor Savagely Trolls Trump After He Brags About Passing 'Tough' Cognitive Test

After Donald Trump bragged about passing a cognitive test that was designed to detect signs of dementia, CNN's Jonathan Reiner took to X to offer a possible diagnosis of the former President.

In a speech in Las Vegas on Saturday, former Republican President Donald Trump once again bragged about his performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) he took in 2020.

According to healthcare references:


"The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a test used to detect mild cognitive decline and early signs of dementia. It can help identify people at risk of Alzheimer's disease and screen for conditions like Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, substance abuse and head trauma."

Stating again how difficult the test was, Trump told the gathered Las Vegas crowd only about 2% of the people in his audience could pass the test.

You can see Trump's remarks here:

Dr. Jonathan Reiner—professor of medicine at The George Washington University in Washington, DC—had some feedback for those impressed by Trump's boast.

Dr. Reiner—an author and CNN medical analyst—posted:

"If you think a dementia screening test is very difficult, you may have early dementia."

Dr. Reiner—who serves as director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at The George Washington University Hospital—added:

"This is why the former president mentions his dementia testing every day."

The post included a clip of Trump's 2024 election rival—and former Trump administration member—Nikki Haley saying the GOP presidential frontrunner is in cognitive decline.

People concurred with the doctor's observations.







Others found Trump's insulting 98% of his own supporters both amusing and telling.



Trump's constant references to his MoCA results are seen as a strange flex for everyone outside the MAGAsphere, including the person who developed the test.

Dr. Ziad Nasreddine told MarketWatch:

"It is supposed to be easy for someone who has no cognitive impairment."

So what does it mean when someone struggles with it because it was really difficult for them?

Donald Trump continues to lead the ever-diminishing pack for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Of the twelve Republicans who originally challenged Trump, all but Nikki Haley have suspended their campaigns.

The GOP also-rans include Trump's former Vice President, three former GOP governors, one current governor, a current and a former member of Congress, a mayor, two entrepreneurs, and a right-wing talk radio host.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
