Donald Trump celebrated a flawless result on a recent cognitive exam and pushed for wider testing of politicians — but a prominent doctor pushed back, saying the score doesn't mean what the president claims. Read on to discover the full story!

What Trump Said

On Truth Social the president touted a 30/30 score on the MOCA test, calling it proof of “extreme intelligence” and noting he has allegedly achieved perfect results multiple times. He urged other candidates and elected officials to be forced to take demanding cognitive tests.

A Leading Doctor's Correction

Dr. Jonathan Reiner responded publicly that the MOCA is a dementia screening tool, not an IQ exam, and that scores of 26 or higher indicate normal cognitive performance. Reiner also raised questions about the medical transparency around Trump's care, citing recent heart scans, swollen ankles, bruised hands and the president’s aspirin dosage.
