Donald Trump made some confusing claims while seemingly referring to a dementia screening test that he’s taken multiple times in recent years.
On Thursday (April 30), the 79-year-old president took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to make a demand of future presidential elections. In the process, he seemingly alleged that he’d been in office for three terms.
Trump referenced former presidents in his statement
“Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race!” he wrote. “By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting ‘ELECTED.’ ”
He continued, writing, “Our Country would be a much better place! I took the Exam three times during my (‘THREE!’) Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES — An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before!”
This isn’t the first time that Trump has referred to taking the tests. In October 2025, he seemingly confused the examination with an IQ test while bragging about his results. He made the remarks while slamming enemies in Congress: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett.
“I took– Those are very hard– They’re really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump,” he said, via PEOPLE. “Let Jasmine go against Trump.”
The outlet noted that Trump was seemingly referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. NBC News reported that he took the test while in office during his first term. The test is described as a screener that can help “identify signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s,” according to The New Republic.
He spoke about taking the test again earlier this year
In January 2026, the president bragged about passing the test on Truth Social.
“The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in ‘PERFECT HEALTH,’ and that I ‘ACED’ (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take,” he wrote.
He continued, saying, “P.S., I strongly believe that anyone running for President, or Vice President, should be mandatorily forced to take a strong, meaningful, and proven Cognitive Examination. Our great Country cannot be run by ‘STUPID’ or INCOMPETENT PEOPLE!”
