Trumps Claim About Taking Cognitive Exams Fact-Checked
“YES, THIS IS REAL Donald Trump <redacted_social_handle> Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race! By doing so, we wouldn't be surprised at people like Barack "Hussein" Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting "ELECTED." Our Country would be much better place! took the Exam three times during my ("THREE!" Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before! President DONALD J.

Summary
Trump publicly boasted that he “aced” a Montreal Cognitive Assessment three times and that doctors called him in perfect health, which he indeed said. However, the MoCA is a brief screening tool that most cognitively normal adults pass, and experts note it is not a definitive test of mental fitness, making his claim of a unique, flawless achievement misleading. His suggestion that other presidents would have failed is unverified.
