Buy me a coffee“The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, and just released, were extremely good. Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered “extreme intelligence.” Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row. All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

“scored a perfect 30 out of 30”
Trump did score 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at Walter Reed on May 26, 2026, confirmed by the official three-page medical report released by White House physician Navy Captain Sean P. Barbabella.
- 02Partially True
“this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT”
Trump has publicly confirmed MoCA tests in 2018 (first term), 2025, and now 2026 — three confirmed perfect scores in official medical reports. The claim of a fourth test is plausible given a 2020 physical, but that report did not specify MoCA results in detail. "Four perfect scores" is not fully documented in public records.

“none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test”
Obama's own former physician confirmed that Obama and George W. Bush did not take formal cognitive screening tests during their presidencies. Biden also declined to take the MoCA despite public pressure. However, the characterization of the MoCA as "high difficulty" is misleading — the test's creator and independent neurologists describe it as a basic 10-minute screening tool, not a high-difficulty exam.

“30 out of 30, considered 'extreme intelligence”
This is a fundamental misrepresentation of what the MoCA measures. The test's creator, Canadian neurologist Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, explicitly stated: "This is not an IQ test or the level of how a person is extremely skilled or not." A score of 26 or above is simply considered normal — meaning no signs of cognitive impairment. A perfect score indicates absence of detectable cognitive decline, not extreme intelligence. The test is designed to be easy for cognitively healthy adults.
