Former President Donald Trump claimed he achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on his latest cognitive test, asserting this reflects 'extreme intelligence.' He made this statement on Truth Social, emphasizing that he has now completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) four times, with perfect results each time, totaling 120 correct answers. This assertion comes as concerns about his mental acuity persist. Medical experts, however, have pointed out that the MoCA is not an IQ test but rather a tool to identify cognitive decline. Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst, expressed skepticism regarding the test's usefulness, particularly when taken repeatedly, as the questions remain largely unchanged. He also questioned the necessity of conducting another assessment so soon after previous tests. Trump's cognitive assessment took place on May 26 during his annual medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where his cognitive function was deemed 'within normal limits.'
