Donald Trump keeps bragging about passing cognitive tests, saying he scored “100%” again and again, but to many doctors, he may be proving the exact opposite, raising concerns about his mental sharpness and overall health.
Trump, now 79, posted on Truth Social that White House doctors said he was in “PERFECT HEALTH” and that he “ACED” his cognitive exam for the third time. He said no other president was willing to take the test.
That boast got people talking fast.
Dr. Vin Gupta, a top medical analyst, said the bragging itself is the problem. Speaking on MS NOW, he warned that repeating these tests so often is not normal.
In simple terms, people who are doing fine do not keep taking the same test over and over.

Gupta said this is “not the flex he thinks it is.” He explained that frequent cognitive testing is usually done when doctors are worried about decline, not confidence.
That comment hit hard.
Other experts agree. Psychologist Dr. John Gartner has said that repeating the same cognitive exam does not mean doctors are checking for dementia. It means they may already be tracking it.
That is a chilling thought.
Trump’s actions have made people more worried. His speeches ramble, he loses his temper quickly, and he often seems distracted.
Still, the White House won’t give clear answers.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has repeatedly avoided giving clear answers about Trump’s health. Details about medical exams are brushed off. Questions are shut down.
That silence speaks loudly.
The situation grew more serious when Trump admitted he had an MRI during a physical exam. At first, the White House would not explain why. Later, they claimed it was “preventative.”
Doctors pushed back right away.
One cardiologist said there is no such thing as a routine preventative MRI at Trump’s age. That explanation did not add up.
Then there are the visible signs.
Trump has been seen with bruises on his hands. His ankles appear swollen. He has been caught nodding off during meetings. Each issue has an explanation, according to aides.
But together, they paint a picture many Americans find troubling.
What makes this worse is Trump’s reaction.
Rather than addressing concerns calmly, he lashes out. He calls coverage of his health “seditious” and “treasonous.” He attacks the media for even asking.
That response only deepens doubt.
