Trump: Doctors Were ‘Very Surprised’ I ‘Aced’ Cognitive Test

President Donald Trump boasted on Thursday night about a cognitive test he took during a Walter Reed physical, telling Fox News host Sean Hannity that doctors were “very surprised” that he “aced” it while calling on former Vice President Joe Biden to take the same test.
Calling in to close confidant Hannity’s primetime program, both the president and the Fox News star began openly questioning Biden’s mental fitness and suggesting he is suffering from cognitive decline.
After Hannity aired a montage of selectively edited clips to characterize Biden as senile, and Trump described the former vice president as “brainwashed,” the conservative host brought up Biden’s recent claim that he “can hardly wait” to test his cognitive capability against Trump’s.
“Now he apparently says that he has many cognitive tests,” Hannity said. “He’s tested all the time, cognitively. Maybe he’ll release those records and maybe he’ll release his medical records.”
Hannity wondered aloud if Biden has been trying to figure out a way to avoid debating the president, a recent right-wing talking point that has gained steam recently, prompting Trump to say “yes” before going on a tangent.
“But he meant the COVID tests. He didn’t mean cognitive. He meant COVID,” Trump declared.
After Hannity insisted Biden said “cognitive,” Trump continued to argue that the ex-veep meant coronavirus tests—Biden has said he hadn’t taken a COVID-19 test yet—but that Biden was “confused by the question and the words and everything else but he didn’t take a cognitive test because he couldn’t pass one.”
The president went on to say that he took a cognitive test “very recently” in order to prove to those questioning his mental acuity that he was “all there.” (It appears Trump is talking about the Montreal Cognitive Assessment he took during his 2018 physical exam , which he passed.)
“I proved I was all there because I aced it,” Trump bellowed. “I aced the test and he should take the same exact test. A very standard test.”
“I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised,” he continued. “They said, that’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did. But he should take that same test.”
The president would go on to say that Biden “has been totally taken over” and it’s “because he doesn’t understand what’s going on” before once again claiming that Biden “wants to get out of the debates.”
Last month, the Biden campaign announced that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee would be participating in the three scheduled presidential debates this fall.

He did flunk the urine test.
Orange urine is not good.

The only thing he can pass successfully is gas.
As my grandfather once said, ''That boy could fuck up a one-car funeral''
Meanwhile back in reality the number of new COVID19 cases passed 70,000 today. But, not to worry, our cognitive genius said that it will disappear, poof.
"One day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear..." What a total disaster.
Well - in all fairness - someday it probably will disappear - I mean when is the last time you heard of someone having smallpox.
It only took 3,000 years to - poof - make it disappear.
True.
I hope we don't have to wait 3,000 years. I don't have that much time.
Only 2,999 years to go.
Trump is bragging he can identify a cat and dog...
What is your name Don? Come on you can do this!
Well - I'm not surprised he could identify a cat ...
