TRUMP’S COGNITIVE ABILITY IS NORMAL: WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR
Trump has NO dementia
President Donald Trump is in excellent physical and mental health, according to the presidential physician, despite his famously unhealthy diet on the campaign trail and continued neglect of exercise, which has predictably led to higher cholesterol and borderline obesity.
The president received a perfect score in the cognitive test and “he’s fit for duty…will remain fit for duty for the remainder of this term and even for the remainder of another term, if he’s elected”, said presidential physician Ronny Jackson, a rear admiral in the US navy, at a briefing Tuesday.
Questions have been raised about Trump’s mental health for a while but got fresh impetus from a recently released tell-all book about his White House tenure that drew a picture of him repeating himself and unable to grasp issues. Trump has denied all, calling himself a “very stable genius”.
Jackson said that though not required by the exam protocol or recommended, he conducted a cognitive test on the president at his insistence in the light of questions raised by critics. Trump scored a perfect 30 of 30 in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is longer and more complex than others.
“There’s no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues,” Jackson said, adding, “I’ve found no reason whatsoever to think the president has any issues whatsoever with his thought processes.” Washington, (Hindustan Times), Jan 17, 2018
