The former president referenced scoring well on a cognitive test in 2018, which is designed to detect whether a person has early stages of dementia.
Former President Donald Trump attempted to tout his own intelligence at a rally in Ohio on Saturday, claiming that people no longer call him «stupid» after he passed a cognitive test in 2018. Speaking at an event in Delaware County, Ohio, the former president told his supporters that he did not like being called stupid and that he wanted to prove his capabilities. He referenced having a conversation with Texas GOP Representative Ronny Jackson, who served as Trump’s White House physician, in which he asked if there was a «test» he could take. «I said to doc Ronny… I don’t like when people call me stupid. I have a great heritage. An uncle who is a great, great genius. A father who is a genius. I don’t like to be called stupid,» Trump said.
