Trump aces his cognitive test for a 3rd time after being taken to Walter Reed yesterday for a physical exam.

US President Donald Trump said Saturday (July 11) said that he was taken to the Walter Reed Hospital in in Bethesda, Maryland, northwest of Washington, DC and had “just finished” a “perfect” physical examination. Taking to Truth Social, Trump slammed New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman after she questioned his physical and cognitive fitness. Trump said that he takes a physical test every six months and also claimed that he is the first President of United States to undergo cognitive test thrice. He also claimed that he answered every question right.

Btw the picture @ the link is damning. Could we be looking @ the power of three?
Lindsey, Mitch, and Donny?

BTW Doesn’t everybody go to the hospital for physical exams on weekend afternoons?

Funny thing is that I remember going to the doctor’s office for a scheduled exam and when
he or she found a problem they scheduled tests for me and when they found something I then
went to the hospital. And doesn’t the White House have a state of the art doctor’s office that is
fully staffed 24/7?

BTW 2.0 Cognitive Tests are not done to see if you can answer questions like:
1+1=2 1+2=3 1+3 = _____. A) 4 B) 16 C 22 D) 0 but to assess brain damage from an illness or an accident.
