Trump says he got ‘the highest mark’ on cognitive exam, claims Biden was ‘very low IQ’
Donald Trump not only received a clean bill of health during his physical exam, but the president claimed he also scored “the highest mark” on a cognitive test while bashing his predecessor.
Trump was remarking on illegal immigration during a White House visit Monday by El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele when he veered into the results of his cognitive test.
“We have millions of people that should not be in this country, that are dangerous … they’ve been allowed to come into our country from other countries that were very smart.
“When they heard that this very low IQ president — and by the way I took my cognitive exam as part of my physical exam, and I got the highest mark,” Trump told reporters, referring to President Joe Biden.
“And one of the doctors said, ‘sir, I’ve never seen anyone get that kind of a — that was the highest mark. …,” Trump continued.
The president, 78, said his exam at Walter Reed Medical Center was conducted over five to six hours. He claimed “not too many” presidents underwent a cognitive test.
“I said, ‘Let me be the only one to take one, but I’ve actually taken them three times already,” said Trump, who previously praised his prior performances on cognitive exams.
“I like taking them because they’re not too tough for me to take,” he said.
On Sunday, the White House released a memo on the medical tests from the White House physician, who indicated that Trump “remains in excellent health” and is “fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
“It came out perfecto, so you’ve got me for a little longer,” Trump said.
