The Cognitive Test Is Very Hard?

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump.

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..
Walk into a bar? This test is hard? For whom? Trump?

Stanford Medicine:
Cognitive and neuropsychological tests measure memory, language skills, math skills, visual and spatial skills, and other abilities related to mental functioning to help them diagnose a patient's condition accurately. For example, people with Alzheimer's disease often show changes in so-called executive functions (such as problem-solving), memory, and the ability to perform once-automatic tasks.

Detailed neuropsychological testing is time-consuming and requires special training, and it usually occurs during a separate appointment with a neuropsychologist. However, during a regular neurology doctor visit, tests such as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) provide a quick way to assess cognitive skills in people with suspected deficits.

These tests examine orientation, memory, and attention, as well as the ability to name objects, follow verbal and written commands, and copy a complex shape. Doctors also use a variety of other tests and rating scales to identify specific types of cognitive problems and abilities.
So, not an IQ test.

If AOC ever did call Trump’s bluff, he would just grumble that the test was “rigged”.
What are they not telling us? Why the POTUS got an MRI, for one. Those are not used for screening, but for diagnosis. I’ve had one done, when surgery to repair a broken bone had to be redone. The surgeon wanted to see what was going on before he opened my foot again. I’ve never had one done as part of a routine physical or other screening procedure. In fact, that’s the only one I’ve ever had.

And it’s reasonable to ask if the scan was for possible cognitive disability. When my father went into cognitive decline, I think it was a CT scan that diagnosed the brain tumor that was the cause. Or maybe an MRI; it’s been awhile, and I was paying attention to other things. Still, we, the people, deserve to know Trump’s true condition (although, traditionally, that information has been withheld).
Or he’d just ignore her.

Yeah, no problems here:
Trump: I won't tell you. But this is a person that called me that said, "Sir, I'd like to make a contribution of any difference needed for the United States military." I said, "I don't know. That could be a big number." and we worked it out. It was about $130 million and he wrote a check for $130 million because he's an unbelievable patriot and that's what it's all about.
Which works out to about $100 per service member. Who did you consult to come up with that number? American GDP is $30 trillion. Where did your number come from? You have to seriously wonder if he knows what he’s saying, or understands who he’s talking to.
