Trump Brags That He Got 'Highest Mark' Possible On Cognitive Test—And Here We Go Again

President Trump told reporters on Monday that he's taken several cognitive tests because they're "not too tough for me to take" after the results of his physical exam were released.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after telling reporters that he's taken several cognitive tests because they're "not too tough for me to take," issuing his remarks in tandem with the release of his physical exam results.

Trump is “fully fit” for the presidency, according to a memo from the White House physician released Sunday after his annual physical. Among the cited evidence of his top-tier health? His “frequent victories” in golf tournaments. (Yes, really.)


The note included details from lab work, a physical exam, and a cognitive test—Trump reportedly aced the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a screening assessment widely used for detecting cognitive impairment, with a perfect 30 out of 30. The overall verdict: he’s in “excellent health,” per the doctor.

Naturally, Trump couldn't resist boasting about these results, saying:

"I took my cognitive exam as part of my physical exam, and I got the highest mark, and one of the doctors said, 'Sir, I've never seen anybody get that kind of -- that was the highest mark.' I hope you're happy with that, although they haven't been bugging me too much to take a cognitive [exam]."
"I did do my physical and I hope you're all happy with it. I notice there's no questions, so probably you are. But the cognitive, they said to me, 'Sir, would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Did [former President Joe] Biden take one?' 'No.' 'Did anybody take one?' 'No, not too many people took one.'"
"I said, 'What about [former President Barack] Obama? Did he take one?' 'No, he didn't take one either.' I said, 'Let me be the only one to take one.' But I've actually taken them three times already. I like to take them because they're not too tough for me to take."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

It's worth noting that Trump has previously been criticized for bragging about acing the MoCA, which he referred to as an "intelligence test."

MoCA was designed to assess different cognitive domains, including attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.

The assessment's questions are simple and ask test subjects to demonstrate if they can remember five words. Cohen stressed that it is unimpressive that Trump can remember five words—namely “person, woman, man, camera, TV”—as Trump demonstrated at one point on live television.

So Trump is at it again—misrepresenting the results—and people were quick to call him out on it.


Trump—not that sane people believe it—shows “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function,” according to White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella, who credited the former president’s “active lifestyle” for his continued health.

Barbabella pointed to Trump’s schedule of meetings, public appearances, and “frequent victories in golf events” as proof of that activity—wins often highlighted by the White House, especially at clubs Trump owns in Florida.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said she can "confirm the president is in very good shape, as you see on a near daily basis here" in response to a conservative reporter who was dragged for saying Trump looks "healthier than ever."

In another bid to get back into the good graces of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's fans, gun rights poster boy Kyle Rittenhouse claimed fluoride in drinking water is "making people gay."

Rittenhouse fell out of favor with the MAGAsphere in 2024 for criticizing their Dear Leader on his 2nd Amendment stance. After deleting the critical X post which spawned rumors among Trump's MAGA minions that he was secretly transgender, Rittenhouse stayed off social media until December 2025 when he announced he was married.

Trump Blasted After Declaring Himself ‘Acting President Of Venezuela’ In Mock Wikipedia Entry

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he shared a mock Wikipedia entry that features a picture of himself with the new title of "Acting President of Venezuela." This comes little more than a week after his administration invaded the South American country and ousted its dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Trump previously claimed the U.S. will take a day-to-day role governing Venezuela after removing Maduro, an act of regime change widely viewed as an act of war that came without congressional approval and violated international law.
