President Donald Trump bragged about his intelligence shortly after midnight on Sunday \u2014 but, in the process of doing so, made a fundamental mistake in explaining just how intelligence is measured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it\u2019s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence,\u201d Dr. Jonathan Reiner, Professor of Medicine and Surgery Interventional Cardiologist at GW School of Medicine, posted on Sunday. \u201cNone of the questions are high difficulty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reiner was responding to a post the president posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, earlier on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, and just released, were extremely good,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cUnlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered \u2018extreme intelligence.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAre the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row. All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! President DONALD J. TRUMP”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, psychiatrist Dr. Henry Abraham \u2014 who formerly taught psychiatry at Tufts University \u2014 told AlterNet that he views much of Trump\u2019s recent behavior as indicate of cognitive decline.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a red flag,\u201d Dr. Abraham told AlterNet. \u201cPeople perseverate because they can\u2019t think of anything else to say, because they\u2019re cognitively impaired, or they perseverate because their emotional motor is stuck in high gear. In the last five to 10 years, he has planted red flags of concern again and again and again, and they\u2019ve clustered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Abraham added that, while Trump used to modulate his rhetoric for public opinion, his recent verbiage suggests that he struggles to \u201cinternalize certain control over his language.\u201d For example, Trump at one point repeatedly mixed up Iceland and Greenland in a recent speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did he have these kinds of linguistic failings, but he began to exhibit more and more signs of really rage and poor impulse control, and at night, what appeared to be manic kinds of episodes where he would tweet, you know, 100, 200 times a night,\u201d Abraham explained.<\/p>\n

Speaking to this journalist for Salon in 2020, when there were widespread concerns about both Trump\u2019s and future President Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive fitness, Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe broke down why Americans have a right to be familiar with their elected officials\u2019 mental fitness for duty.<\/p>\n

“The so-called ‘concerns’ that Trump, his family, and his acolytes are raising about the former Vice President aren’t worthy of response,” Tribe told Salon at the time. “I’ve known Biden for years and detect no loss of intellectual acumen. His slips of the tongue are legendary and, even if slightly more frequent these days, are nothing compared to the constant truly idiotic slips of the brain that characterize Trump. Had we not grown sadly accustomed to Trump’s mangling of language, logic, syntax, and sense, we’d all be running for the exits.”<\/p>\n
