‘I am Not Targeted on Scandal I am Targeted on Socialism’ He Says as His Ex-Girlfriend Flips
President Donald Trump was brought to the Walter Reed Medical Center back in November. The White House never gave the real reason to the American people, claiming they would get part of their annual physical strain done early because they would be busy the following year.

Thursday night, the president admitted to Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he had “recently” taken a “cognitive test” from Walter Reed and, he claimed, “did it.” He added that his doctors were “very surprised”.
“I actually took one when I, um, recently when I knew the radical left was saying, ‘Is it all there? Is he all there? ‘I proved I was all there because I made it,’ Trump told Hannity. “I have passed the test.”
The president went on to say that his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, “should do the same exact test, a very normal test. I took it in front of doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center and they were very surprised. They said, ‘This is an incredible thing. Rarely does anyone do what you just did. ‘”
Trump bizarrely bragged to Hannity that he had “passed” a cognitive test he took on Walter Reed.
Doctors “were very surprised. They said, ‘This is an incredible thing. Rarely does anyone do what you just did. ‘”

As many have noted on social media, taking a cognitive test isn’t boastful. The test is often done with concern.
The Washington Post notes that Trump conducted the Montreal Cognitive Assessment in January 2018, which is designed to identify mild cognitive problems, especially in the elderly. During the 10-minute exam, patients are asked to identify animals in pictures, draw a clock, and perform basic word recall exercises. “
On social media, some voiced concerns about the president’s health, suggesting he may have had a stroke last year. Others noted that the American people deserve to know more about their health. And many mocked Trump for bragging about the test.

Even if it were true, “the doctors were * very * surprised that I passed a cognitive test,” this isn’t exactly the slam dunk the president thinks is right. https://t.co/7hk0LAFxcZ

Why is this idiot allowed to be responsible for the nuclear codes? https://t.co/EsfcPjNmEY

A stroke-like incident (see Secret Trip to Walter Reed) would require a cognitive test, wouldn’t it?
And a doctor can be very happy when a patient can successfully identify a farm animal, count to 20, or distinguish a circle from a square.
Amazed even when the patient was a known idiot.

I saw this interview live tonight and was shocked that President Trump revealed that he had recently taken a cognitive test with Walter Reed. Impressive. We need to know more about this visit, of course. https://t.co/rWvdAItgZ8

Trump trips and spills his Walter Reed trip included a cognitive test. His trip was urgent, likely after being incoherent and likely involving a sequential MRI. He has no idea how bad he sounds with “The doctors were very surprised.” His dementia is evident and they are wearing it https://t.co/TNXfIHOWn1

Trump passed his cognitive test with Walter Reed. The doctors put it on a table and he walked right past it.

My mother passed the last cognitive test she was given. Just before she died early last year, the nurse asked, “Who is the president?” My mother’s last words, which proved her absolute mental clarity to the end, were: “Trump – I hate him.”

Could * YOU * Trump’s cognitive test “ace”?
1) Where are we right now?
2) What is today’s date?
3) Can you draw a clock that shows the time as ten past eleven?
4) Can you identify pictures of 3 animals?
5) Can you draw a picture of a cube?

Good Morning! I woke up early to push for my cognitive test.

Lmao – the # SupremeLoser trump card raves about his cognitive test with Walter Reed and says he “passed” it.
I don’t think “they didn’t say I was crazy about my face” is something to brag about, tbh. SAD! Pic.twitter.com/TtwmRtBCAR

Wish me luck taking my cognitive test today and if I fail I will get knocked out. I just can’t let @realDonaldTrump be any smarter than me. I learned so much

I think the mysterious run to Walter Reed last fall was actually a stroke.
His shirt was open when he got into the limo, indicating a cardiac event. A stroke would fit, and that would trigger a cognitive test too.

Did Trump just admit that he received a cognitive test during his secret visit to Walter Reid Hospital? Why yes, yes, he did. https://t.co/yPUjMT5HEJ
