Donald Trump tried to convince everyone that his four cognitive tests prove he has ‘extreme intelligence’, but reality begged to differ – 21 clapbacks
Donald Trump’s recent return to the Walter Reed Medical Center for the second time in 2026, and the third time within the past 12 months had people’s curiosity turned up to 11.
The almost 80-year-old president has clearly not been in peak physcial condition, even for his fairly advanced age. Bruising on both hands, a rash on his neck, extremely swollen ankles, and an apparent inabiity to stay awake during meetings had all led to a great deal of speculation.
To set people’s minds at rest, his medical report was released.

His doctor, U.S. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, seems to be under the impression that he’s taking care of 1980s Arnold Schwarzenegger, rather than a man who can’t walk in a straight line or play nine holes of golf without driving his cart on the greens.
Scepticism was understandably rife.
If you believe Trump is in "excellent health" then I have a bridge to sell you https://t.co/tVuYIzwNLp

They're trying to tell you that an 80-year-old narcoleptic with random bruises all over his body, eats junk food and never exercise, is in perfect health.

However, it wasn’t staying just outside of the ‘obese’ range, having perfect blood pressure, or even the bullet scar on his ear that only Maga can see which made Trump proud. Here’s what he wrote on Truth Social.

CNN’s medical analyst, a professor of medicine and surgery, explained why taking four of these tests isn’t the win Trump thinks – even if he aced them.
I’m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it’s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence. None of the questions are high difficulty. pic.twitter.com/pSjzUkJ9R2

We weren’t the only ones questioning a finding of ‘normal cognitive performance’ from Trump.
The side eye was visible from Mar-a-Lago to the half-demolished White House.

The President is so intelligent he can’t tell the difference between an IQ test and one for cognitive functioning (dementia).
This is the 4th time he’s had a cognitive test in just over a year? This is not normal. pic.twitter.com/kpEOqEy6x2

Other presidents did not require cognitive tests because they weren’t showing signs of severe cognitive decline as you are, you insane fuck. pic.twitter.com/9oEpr7MaEG

Trump is now bragging over doctors being so concerned with his cognitive decline that he was given 3 dementia tests in a year and Obama/Biden were given 0.
Not the brag you think it is, Donald! pic.twitter.com/XD6RPG3vyk
