Trump Proposes Cognitive Tests for Presidential Candidates

President Donald Trump suggested that all future presidential and vice presidential candidates should undergo cognitive testing, following his recent physical examination where he claimed to have scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on a cognitive assessment. In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to his critics as 'Dumocrats' and emphasized the need for such tests, stating that Congress should demand them. He noted that he is approaching his 80th birthday and is only the second president to serve at this age, following Joe Biden. Trump's recent physical examination, conducted at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, indicated that he remains in excellent health, with strong cognitive and physical performance. The examination included various diagnostic studies and consultations with multiple specialists. The physician's summary confirmed that Trump is fully fit to carry out presidential duties, despite noting some minor health observations, such as slight swelling in his lower legs and bruising on his hands attributed to frequent handshaking. Trump's lab results were reported to be largely within normal ranges, and he is currently taking medications for cholesterol control and cardiac prevention.
