Trump also shared that his exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, went on for five to six hours, per the outlet.

The POTUS further claimed that "not too many" presidents have taken cognitive tests, naming Biden and former President Barack Obama. 

He added, "I said, 'Let me be the only one to take one', but I’ve actually taken them three times already," as he earlier praised his prior performances on cognitive exams, per AL.com. 

"I like taking them because they’re not too tough for me to take," the 78-year-old stated. 

The White House released a memo on the medical tests from the White House physician on Sunday, April 13, who showed that Trump "remains in excellent health" and is "fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."



 

About the medical report, Trump quipped, "It came out perfecto, so you’ve got me for a little longer."

White House physician Captain Sean Barbabella, who led the physical, wrote in a three-page medical report, "President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function."

He added that Trump "exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit."

Barbabella’s report mentioned that Trump has "well-controlled" high cholesterol, along with a few chronic or historical issues, including rosacea, diverticulosis, pre-cancerous skin lesions, a benign colon polyp, and a past Covid-19 infection, according to NPR.

However, none of it seems to be affecting the president's performance now.

One quipped, "And then he woke up and the nurse was pushing him into the cafeteria next to Biden," and another said, "I have no doubts the person conducting the test left in tears."

A person wrote, "No shame. All of the USA except MAGA is ashamed of this sad excuse for a man," whereas someone else added, "Bring in the clowns."

"I understand that he was able to identify a picture of an elephant with only very limited prompting. Incredible," an individual joked. 

"President Trump never took a test for narcissistic personality disorder. Nor a survey of his views on ethics and morality. For that matter he also never took a test on history, economics, civics, or diplomacy," another comment read. 

"Lies after lies after lies. The ‘Sir’ followed by the (fabricated) praise is a real tell…," another expressed. 

One questioned, "How many world leaders throughout history have felt the need to say that?"
