Trump did ‘exceedingly well’ on a cognitive test, top White House doctor says

At the president’s request, Jackson said that he reviewed a number of cognitive tests and then administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment during Trump’s first presidential physical exam on Friday afternoon at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The 10-minute exam is designed to detect mild cognitive impairment, generally in older patients. Trump answered all 30 questions correctly, Jackson said.

The test includes asking a patient to name several animals, draw a clock with the hands at a certain time, copy a cube and recall a short list of words, among others. Jackson said he has “no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues.”

He got a PERFECT score, which I doubt that all of those who hate him and accuse him of being “unfit for office”, could.

Unlike the “journalists” in the room, desperately searching for health issue with Trump.

Oh heck, Obama got a score of 50 out of 30...
He was giftedly cognitive or so the media told us.

Any normal adult should score 30/30 unless they are heavily distracted, depressed, uncooperative, etc.

Correct any NORMAL adult. The test is used to identify MILD cognitive impairment. Trump showed none!

This MSM was the nastiest most embarrassing, rude, and downright evil bunch of clowns at this presser. I want to know how healthy they are. Scumbags.

If a RAT ever takes the reins again, I will never accept that RAT, ever.

Assuming the headline is correct, note that this is a WHITE HOUSE doctor, not a ‘personal’ doctor of Trump. My guess is that this doctor probably doesn’t even think too much of Trump, but like Reagan’s doctors after he was shot, he’s a professional first.

New York Times headline last week:

"Trump is a Blithering Idiot and Possibly has Elderly Dementia"

New York Times headline tomorrow:

"Trump is a Brilliant Criminal Mastermind who Rigged the Election"

Yes, mild dementia or other impairment may be diagnosed at 25 or below, at least on the 30 item MMSE.

NAMING:

The Trump Party Logo, The Republican Party Logo, Soon to be the Democrat / Sharia party Logo.

Doctor: Darn it Mr. President that is MORE correct than the test will allow me to score it!
