“Here’s what the story is. I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That’s it.” Trump said. “But, I had an MRI as part of my standard, yearly—or, I think they do it every two years. But I have the physical every year. But the result was outstanding.”

“Was it your brain, or … ?” the reporter asked.

“I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well,” the president said.

Quick reminder that the "Very advanced mental acuity" test that Trump "voluntarily" took is the Montreal Cognitive Acuity test. You can take it yourself; https://championsforhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/MOCA-8.1.8.2-English.pdf

Here's a summary of the questions:

  1. A picture shows some circles. Three are labelled 1, 2, 3. The rest are labelled with letters. A line has been drawn connecting circles 1 and 2, the subject is expected to draw a line to the next circle in the sequence.

  2. Draw a cube by copying the example printed on the test paper.

  3. Draw a clock face with the hands at ten past eleven.

  4. Name the three animals pictured.

  5. Subject must memorize a list of five words, then recall them five minutes later.

  6. Subject must repeat a list of five single digit numbers. Then a list of three single digit numbers, but repeated backwards.

  7. Read a string of letters. Subject must tap their hand for each letter A.

  8. Starting at 100, subject must subtract seven up to five times (eg, 93, 86, 79, 72, 65).

  9. Repeat two phrases.

  10. Name at least 11 words that begin with F.

  11. If the similarly between orange and banana is that they are both fruit, what is the similarity between a train and a bicycle, and between a watch and a ruler?

  12. Where are you and what is the date?

That's the whole test. Trump has repeatedly referred to this as an "IQ test" (including when he had to take it during his first term), claimed that AOC wouldn't be able to score as well as him, and that "The last few questions get really hard."

This man, by his own admission, struggled with questions designed to test bare minimum cognitive function, and he controls nukes.

And then Americans wonder why the rest of the world fucking hates you, while you all cheerfully re-elect dipshits like this.
