- At a cabinet meeting, President Trump said he took a cognitive screening three times and claimed perfect scores each time.
- News outlets identified the likely exam as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a 10‑minute screen used to flag early cognitive problems.
- Medical experts explained that the MoCA checks basic memory, attention, language, and serial 7s subtraction, so it is not an IQ or aptitude test.
- Clips of his remarks spread widely online, and a Community Note corrected his claim about facing very tough equations on the test.
- Former White House cardiologist Jonathan Reiner urged Trump to stop boasting about a dementia screen and said his next annual exam is due next month.
