Trump Wanders Through New Riff on ‘Tough Questions’ in Cognitive Test as He Lashes Out During Cabinet Meeting

Trump held his final Cabinet meeting of the year, which was carried live on Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics. In his opening remarks, Trump lashed out at the press over a New York Times profile that analyzed his shrinking schedule, his mystery MRI, “rambling” speeches, and ruminations on “the afterlife.”


Trump has spent years bragging about his performance on a test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), which begins, as Trump himself has noted, with tasks like identifying animal drawings and progresses to a climax of knowing where you are and what day it is.

Over the years, it has become clear that Trump falsely equates the assessment with an “aptitude” or IQ test.

 
I took, by the way, I took my physical, I got all A’s, everything. But they said to me, “Would you like to take a cognitive test?”.

I said, Is it hard? They said yes.

I said, Well, I’m a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?

No president has ever agreed to take one.

Because when you get into the mid-questions, meaning, you know, 10, question number 10, 11, 12, 28, 30, they get harder and harder.

And they said, Would you like to do it? I said, Well, no reason to do it. Nobody’s ever done it. I’ll do it maybe, but there’s really no reason.

I said, I won’t do poorly. I’m a smart person, not a stupid person. And as the doctor will tell you, I aced it, right, Suzy? I aced. I got every question right.

And these are tough questions. These are questions that I would say ninety-nine percent of the people that I’m talking to right now, meaning the people that from the fake news would not do well in those exams.

But I’m the only one that took it. I got every single question right. And then I read in the New York Times, Is Trump sharp?

I wish he'd take a psychopathy test and publicize the score.

So much for the stable genius.
