  • Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he aced a cognitive test during a recent check-up at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
  • Trump stated he is the only president to have taken the test three times and that he answered every question correctly.
  • The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about his age and fitness for office, though it's unclear if this was a new test or a reference to a previous one.

Donald Trump has announced he completed a "perfect" cognitive test during a check-up at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, asserting he "aced" it and answered every question correctly. The former president, who turned 80 in June, made the claim on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump stated that he undergoes such check-ups every six months and requested an additional cognitive test, which he claims no other president has taken three times. He presented the results as a sign of his mental acuity, emphasizing his perfect performance.

It remains unclear whether Trump underwent a new medical evaluation or was referring to a previous one conducted in late May. At that time, he had also declared his health to be "excellent."

The announcement comes as Trump's age and cognitive abilities have been subjects of public discussion, particularly in the context of potential future political campaigns.

I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I go every six months and asked for another Cognitive test. Nobody has ever done that, I aced it, and answered every question, no problem.

— Donald TrumpOn his Truth Social account, announcing the results of his cognitive test.
