More from the article ...

... It's unclear when Trump underwent his latest physical exam, but U.S. presidents typically have an annual wellness check at the beginning of January. Trump had two exams in 2025 -- in October and April.

"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," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post early Friday.

"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!" ...

OK, I have been trying to create a poll here on this topic.

My efforts were not successful. Quite the contrary, they were frustrating.

At first i had thought that there might be a problem with the security I have installed in my browser (Firefox).

So I went over to my desktop and tried using Microsoft's Edge browser, for which I have nothing but the default install loaded.

In both Firefox and Edge, I was able to create and preview a survey.

But in neither could I save that survey.

There was no explicit error message, but there was a vague comment that I had to link the poll to an entry.

Yet the drop-down menu to allow me to do so did not work in either browser.

So, if I may ask, do polls work here?

If not, why are they on the menu?

Why is Pres Trump given so many cognitive exams?

I say he's been reading the same health report since 2016. With or without dementia.

Being given the Montreal Cognitive Assessment once every couple of years is normal to determine if someone may be suffering from early onset dementia, but if it's given over and over again, it's being used to determine the progress of dementia which has already been diagnosed.

Now there are other times when the Montreal Cognitive Assessment is given and I've been in that situation.

Nine years ago I had to have my Aortic Heart Valve replaced. A week prior to the procedure, which was going to be done using the TAVR method...

www.mayoclinic.org

...they gave me the cognitive assessment to establish a baseline to make sure that the procedure didn't damage my brain since they had to virtually stop the flow of blood for a short peroid of time while they installed the new valve. They also gave me a physiological test to measure my motor skills.

Now at least the cognitive assessment was given to me again the day after the procedure and then again the day I was discharged from the hospital (the procedure was on Monday morning and I was discharged Friday afternoon).

When I returned for my 30-day and 90-day follow-up, they repeated both the cognitive assessment and the physiological test, but that was it.

But just giving it over and over again, just to watch for problems, that's only done when there is already evidence of dementia and they're trying to measure the progress of the disease. As for Trump 'acing it', no one actually aces it, but then he may have reached the point where that's how we remembers it and who's going to tell him otherwise.

A Cognitive Examination is not an IQ test. It's as Ocuser says, a measure of decline in dementia. That Turnip is getting it annually is not a good sign. It means they've discovered the dementia in it's early stages and the continual annual tests are to document it's progression.

Aspirin isn't going to help the disgusting orange chomo's diseased melon.

After his speech and news conference today, the doctors may want to re-grade the president's test paper. No president in my 60+ years on this earth gave a speech on such a grave topic in the manner Der Dotard presented the topic at hand, before steering the conversation into a number of ditches. Ignoring the gravity of his actions, someone in DC needs to address El Rey Dotardo II's mental illness, which was on display for all to see ...

Perfect health? Let's see him climb 5 flights of stairs. Should be easy for someone " in perfect health". Can that fat bastard even get up on a bicycle?

RE REINs comment about aspirin

Trump's admission about overdosing on aspirin sounds more like a self-prescribed attempt to work-around the cholesterol that's clogging the vessels to his heart.

I can't imagine any doctor telling a patient to "just take more aspirin" if indeed the problem is cholesterol blocking Trump's arteries.

My guess is that his REAL health report is a horror show after a lifetime of self-abuse.

My wife has Alzheimer's, as did my mother-in-law, and my wife and I cared for her. My mother died of neurological failure two weeks after she turned 60. I've spent a lot of time in neurologists' and neuropsychiatrists' offices.

Six months ago, the FDA approved an amyloid PET scan to, for the first time, confirm Alzheimer's in a living patient. My wife took that test in December and the next day I had the report that confirmed presence of amyloid deposits. They can run one of these on Trump in 45 minutes.

The cognitive test is along the lines of:

Draw a clock that shows it's ten minutes after 8.

Can you draw a cube? (And they give you a cube to model it after. Watching my wife have a hard time with this was tough.)

Who is the president?

If Trump has Alzheimer's, it's mixed up with a bunch of other conditions. Or he's in control of his own medication management, and he's just barking out orders to his underlings to get him what he thinks he needs for a situation. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Who has to take THREE cognitive tests?

And why would you?

Yeah sure. Nothing wrong with that guy.

And now you know why Trump went into high gear in Venezuela, with similar threats to Columbia and Mexico.

He's running out of time. And Vice President Vance is nothing more than a Peter Thiel Plug & Play.

Or poll the string.
