It's a very simple test designed to catch the early signs of dementia and dementia-related illness. Passing it is not something to boast about. Biden most certainly would neither struggle with, nor boast about, scoring perfectly on this exam.

That the test is proof of his genius, or that there was actually going to be a showdown where Biden took it. Also a delusion, thinking that giving the questions away on TV would help Biden "cheat".

The MoCA test does not contain a final question asking how many elephants (or even an earlier question asking about an elephant).

Even though Trump would be clueless, Wallace would know.
