'Aced it!' Trump mocked as he forgets name of doctor who gave him dementia test

Raw Story  

Donald Trump bragged again about how he “aced” a cognitive test designed to test for dementia — and then he gave the wrong name for the White House doctor who administered it. “I think he should take a cognitive test like I did,” the former president said while speaking to a convention of the right-wing group Turning Point Action in Detroit Saturday. The 10-minute test Jackson performed on Trump is a simple mental assessment that “looks for signs of mild cognitive impairment and/or Alzheimer’s disease,” Reuters reported at the time. Jessica Anderson, a Democratic Party candidate for Congress in Virginia, wrote, “So since he can’t even remember the man who gave him his “dementia test” that he passed “with flying colors” doesn’t that mean he actually failed?” “Reminder,” wrote former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.
