President Donald Trump has again placed his health and mental fitness at the centre of national debate after publicly claiming he 'aced' a cognitive test that he says no other president was willing to take. The remarks, delivered amid rising dementia rumours and renewed scrutiny of his age, have fuelled political controversy and intensified calls for greater transparency over the health of those in the highest office.
Trump has insisted that White House doctors declared him in 'perfect health' following recent medical evaluations, including a cognitive screening he says he passed with full marks. He has repeatedly portrayed the test as evidence of superior mental sharpness, arguing that such assessments should be mandatory for all presidential and vice-presidential candidates. However, the lack of detailed disclosure surrounding the exam has prompted questions from critics, medical experts and political opponents.
