Donald Trump claimed that the final five questions on a cognitive test he supposedly “aced” are “very hard” questions that not even Fox News anchor Chris Wallace would correctly answer. Well, the questions have been revealed and the Internet is laughing its a** off.
Wallace has already noted that one of the questions on Trump’s test was asking him to identify a picture, which turned out to be an elephant. Not a really hard task and certainly nothing to brag about.
But Trump took his boasting further during the interview by insisting that the last five questions on the test were “very hard” and that not many people, Wallace included, would likely be able to answer them. You know, because Trump thinks he’s a “genius.”
So, The Daily Beast reporter Julia Davis figured out what the five final questions were and you’ll be embarrassed by Trump or deeply disturbed.
Trump about the cognitive test he took: “… The first few questions are easy, but I’ll bet you couldn’t even answer the last five questions. I’ll bet you couldn’t, they get very hard, the last five questions.”

That’s right, two of the simplest questions one should be able to answer easily if they are cognitively healthy. But Trump called these questions “very hard” and boasted that doctors told him he “aced” the test.
Social media users begged to differ.
My mom lived in a nursing home before her death after suffering a couple strokes. She was given this test regularly during neurological appointments. The nurses always praised her performance no matter how she did. You are not given this test for no reason.

It’s ok, Mr. President. The elephant has been unrecognizable to the rest of us since 2016.

@realDonaldTrump doesn’t know it, but he admitted that he finds it hard for remember where he is and what day it is. Hear that @GOP? Kind of important things for a President to not find hard.

I took this test, as I recovered from a brain injury. When the doctor asked me what day it was, I said Tuesday. My wife told me to stop joking around.
It was Monday. I had no tether to the days of the week.
Thankfully, I recovered.

The “5 questions” is likely the “delayed recall”, where he was told to remember 5 words (and he repeated them twice) at the beginning of the test (face, velvet, church, daisy, red). This tests short term memory, and is administered after getting a concussion. Not good, folks.

The bottom line is that Trump does not have the mental capacity to be president. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason. It’s time to use it. Unfortunately, Trump’s Cabinet is about as brain dead as he is.
