President Donald Trump on Tuesday talked up his performance on a series of cognitive tests — a recurring segment of sorts at his rallies — before suggesting they got extremely difficult toward the end.
“You know, the first question is easy. You have a lion, a snake, a bear and a giraffe. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” began Trump at a midterm event in North Carolina.
He went on to point to the “fake news” covering the rally after he referred to the “last questions” on the tests.
“There’s not a person there that could answer,” he added.
Trump appears to be referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a brief exam designed to be easy and to detect cognitive impairment, not to identify high intelligence, as the president has claimed over the years.
Early questions on a sample test ask participants to draw a clock, identify three different animals and repeat five words.
For the remainder of the assessment, according to the sample test, participants read a list of digits and letters, subtract numbers, repeat sentences, name words that start with “B” in one minute, identify similarities and recall the five words from earlier.
The very last question? Name the date, place and city where the test is being administered.
If he was in a padded room when he waved, it would have been the oerfect scenario.
