Trump did ‘exceedingly well’ on a cognitive test, top White House doctor says
Washington Post ^ | 1/19/2018

Posted on 01/16/2018 2:52:38 PM PST by EBH

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.”

Now let’s see a cognitive test on Pelosi and Lewis. Add Thad Cochran in for good measure.

I have been told that one of the fastest ways to detect mental impairment is to have the subject of the test, draw a clock with their off hand.

Montreal Cognitive Assessment

No kidding it is to test for mild impairment due to Alzheimer and dementia.

What I can tell you though, is mocatest.org is being heavily utilized as we type.

Media is desperate to remove Trump, and it shows.

They got nothing - no scandals, no Russian collusion, no insanity, no ill-heath.

So, back to the racism smears!

My Mom took this test. She got a 22 out of 30 and has mild dementia. She suffers short term memory, but she still pretty sharp when it comes to long term memories. Sad to see, but she also is 85 years old!!

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.

They should all have to be medically evaluated and randomly drug screened to set foot near the White House.

Along with a bias test so all of their reports will be judged on a bias curve for accuracy :)

He should challenge Durbin and the rest of the congresscritters to take the same test. And make the results public.

I'd like to see how Maxine Waters does on the test.

Good grief! They neglected to have him derive the Theorema Egregium?

I thought Maxima Waterscum would demand that...

It was the press that needed the test. At least three times they asked if there was anything he wasn’t telling them. I guess they just didn’t like the answer and kept hoping for a different one. Seems I recall something about doing the same thing expecting a different outcome being the definition of insanity.

I didn’t listen to all of the interview, but would not have put it past one of the reporters, especially Costa from asking the admiral if he had given President Trump the answers to the test before he took it to insure he passed it; or if Trump had ordered the admiral to give him the answers ahead of time.

They couldn’t pass the test if they used the old Mattel The Farmer sez “see and say” game.
