Donald Trump has declared the results of a recent cognitive test as “perfect”, boasting that it demonstrated “extreme intelligence” while also taking a thinly-veiled dig at former presidents and vice presidents. The US President took to Truth Social to trumpet his fitness test results, claiming to have achieved the highest possible score.
Trump stated he was awarded a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test, along with “extremely good” results in his physical examination. He wrote: “The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, and just released, were extremely good.
“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence.’
“Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row.
“All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Earlier this week, Trump said he had completed the physical examination, concluding that “everything checked out perfectly”. He wrote: “Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House. President DJT.”
The check-up was described by the White House as a routine annual preventative medical and dental examination. It was his fourth publicly disclosed medical exam since he returned to office for a second term.
Yet his post was met with scepticism from critics, who appeared to cast doubt on his claims. One user quipped on X: “At this point I’m convinced Trump approaches presidential health updates the same way he approaches golf scores, election maps, and crowd sizes: not merely healthy… the healthiest anyone has ever been in the history of health.”
