"I take (POINTS AT HEAD) cognitive physicals, so I do a (POINTS AT HEAD) cognitive mind test, okay? And a lot of people wouldn't be able to do very well. Not easy, you get to those last questions. I've aced! I've done three of them. No other president has agreed to do them. I do them because I have no problem with it, because I'm 100 percent."
"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."
Donald Trump pointed to his head and bragged about repeatedly acing the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) when questioned about his age. He described MOCA tasks ranging from identifying animal drawings to orientation questions asking where one is and what day it is. He said he has taken the assessment three times and claimed no other president agreed to take it. He equates MOCA performance with broader cognitive aptitude, a conflation that is inaccurate. He emphasized regular physicals and cognitive testing and mentioned continued aspirin use.
