Donald Trump has again drawn scrutiny for boasting about his cognitive testing, telling a recent audience that he has taken three exams and 'aced each one.' His remarks, delivered at a White House business summit, reignited debate over how he portrays these screenings and what they are actually designed to measure.
The US President framed the tests as proof of mental sharpness and suggested that no other president has undergone similar evaluations, while critics pointed out that such screenings are typically used to check for early signs of cognitive impairment rather than to assess intelligence.
