As part of the evaluation, Trump has once again passed a cognitive test, the Montreal cognitive evaluation (MOCA). It's a In short screening tool used for dementiawhich request Test-preneurs to perform simple tasks like drawing a clock and repeating a chain of words. A score of 25 or less (out of 30) would indicate a cognitive impairment.
According to his doctor's memo, Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 – and not surprisingly, he made sure that the public does not forget it (it doesn't matter that questions arise as naming animals and remembering a few words).
“I passed my cognitive examination as part of my physical exam, and I obtained the highest note,” Trump said During an event at the Oval Office. “One of the doctors said:” Sir, I have never seen anyone get this kind of-it was the highest brand “,” he said.
After praising that neither Biden nor Obama had passed the test, unlike him, Trump said: “I already took them three times. I like to take them, because they are not too hard for me to take.”
Well, as many people have pointed out, they are not supposed to be. Mocca is not designed to challenge the average adult brain – it is intended to detect cognitive decline.
“The purpose of a cognitive examination is to check if your mental faculties decrease. There are no” highest marks “as if it were a school test. You are either in decline, or you are not. And something tells me that Trump refuses if he confuses a cognitive examination with a mathematical final”, a person tells me wrote on X.
“'Sir, it was the highest note of all time !!! You were the first in history to correctly identify a giraffe and draw a clock !! joke.
“Why does he act as moccs is the MCAT?” another request.
“He always thinks that cognitive tests are intelligence tests”, someone else said.
“It is always crazy that someone can speak like that and be believed in any title”, another wrote.
This is not the first time that Trump apparently has apparently combined his cognitive examination for an intelligence test with high issues. He also did the test in 2018 and, in an interview with Fox News in 2020, claimed The test started “very easy” but ended with “much more difficult” questions.
As proof of this difficulty, he remembers that he was asked to remember and repeat five words – once immediately, and another 10 to 20 minutes later. Thus, the now infamous sentence was born: “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”
After having recited the words, Trump said to Fox News, “They say:” It's incredible. How did you do this? “I do it because I have a good memory, because I am cognitive there.” In the same interview in 2020, he also said: “They said that nobody got (words) in order. It is actually not so easy, but for me it was easy.”
Welp, I don't know about you, but I have already seen. Person. Women. Man. Camera. TV. Everything comes back to me. Maybe we really have a modern Einstein as president.
