1. Oh that is perfect!

[BKDem]

2. He was able to repeat five words in order, and identify a drawing of a camel.

Genius!

[Cyrano]

7. Actually, it was a camel hair coat. But, close enough.

[Beacool]

21. LOL!!!

[lunatica]

22. LOL!

The camel reminds him of his neck when he’s tying his tie. He’s very familiar with it and not always in a good way.

[lame54]

28. He had trouble with that one at first...

Then they rephrased the question

"Name the animals your son has murdered."

[niyad]

38. My five words for him to repeat in order: "drop dead, you f'n traitor" .

[Denvermosaic]

3. He's cuckoo for cocoa puffs

[dalton99a]

4. Questions he was asked

6) Is your wife's name Ivanka?

[TrogL]

9. Hell I'd flunk that

But I wouldn’t want me in a position of that much responsibility.

[47of74]

13. Advice to medical professionals....

Don't ask me who the current occupant of the White House is unless you don't mind me saying a total and complete Fuckopotomus and #BunkerB---h

[Fritz Walter]

33. My answer: the Cowardly Lyin' Traitor

He wishes he had 1/10th as much hair!

[47of74]

39. My answer is much less family friendly

[cstanleytech]

24. Number 7 should be "Do you ever not lie?"

[wcollar]

5. Test Taking..........

I wonder who he got to take this test for him?

[Initech]

6. Did he take the cognitive test from Idiocracy?

[louis-t]

8. Such a big boy!

After the test, though, he tied his shoelaces together and fell on his face. But other than that......

[Collimator]

10. Stephen Hawking when asked his IQ score:

"I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers."

Trump, however, will boast about his ability to distinguish the big hand from the little hand on a clock. He probably expects to receive (actual) gold star stickers for reading from teleprompters.

[dalton99a]

15. +1

[AleksS]

11. Does he know it's NOT a compliment...

Does he know it's not a compliment when people are SURPRISED that his IQ test came back "positive?"

[47of74]

14. He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

[lunatica]

23. He doesn't know his ass from his kisser

There. I fixed it.

[whopis01]

25. In fairness, I can't tell the difference between his ass and his kisser either. n/t

[patphil]

12. My guess is he had someone else take the test for him.

Probably didn't allow the doctors in the room while the test was in progress.

[dflprincess]

30. You win the thread

IMHO

[47of74]

32. And insisted it be open book

[Gothmog]

16. K&R

[gab13by13]

17. There are some hard tests out there

but not the one that Trump took.

One of the best tests I took; I was at my regular doctor's appointment and the nurse who takes your vitals began talking to me about stuff. She talked for 5 minutes and then she gave me a test. She asked me questions about what she just got done telling me. No I didn't remember everything but it taught me a lesson to listen to others when they are speaking.

Trump certainly would flunk that test. First of all he wouldn't allow someone else to speak for 5 minutes without interrupting.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. I had to take that test last year.

There was no suspicion that I was losing it, but it was required for entry into a nursing home for treatment of MRSA so I could be on IV antibiotics. Anyway, I aced it.

It was so easy that I could have done it at age 6. Also, it wasn't administered by a doctor, but by some kind of therapist.

19. Cognitive tests and my father

Back in 2013, we were dealing with my father who was in the very early stages of dementia. My ex-brother-in-law had wormed his way back into my father's life and was attempting to get power of attorney and to take everything my father owned. My sister and I were able to get a guardian ad litem assigned to him, but "ex-John" had found an attorney for my father who was soaking him for every dime possible. In the meantime, ex-John found a counselor to give my father a cognitive test and physical exam. The report he produced was that my father had the mind and body of a 25-year-old. My father was 96 at the time.

My father's attorney kept putting off the court date. My response was that he is 96, he might not survive until the court date. During that time period, one night my father had shut off the heat to his home when it was about 16 degrees in the Spokane area. I called my father every day as I live out-of-state. My sister who lived nearby was now estranged from my father thanks to her ex-husband. I kept phoning my father and then someone finally answered. It was the paramedics. It appears my father had fallen that morning. He slept in the nude. When he fell, he broke his hip. He was too proud to wear his Life-Alert, so he laid there in a freezing home all day. The paramedics tried to revive him, but he died of hypothermia in his own home. He was a former career Marine intelligence officer, and that is how he died.

I have always wondered if his counselor who said he had the mind and body of a 25-year-old ever knew he died or cared. The attorney certainly didn't care. As long as they got paid, who cared. There is a lot more to this horror story, but it would take a book to write.

[MountainMama]

26. Hugs to you....

I am so sorry for your loss.

[lonely bird]

20. Unbelievable is accurate

Since he lies about everything the use of that word may actually be true.

[C Moon]

27. And his dedicated followers will say, "Wow! Amazing!"

[dflprincess]

29. My doctor started this at my annual visit when I turned 65

We did discuss if younger people who grew up with digital clocks could pass it. Making a box and writing 11:10 just won't cut it.

[packman]

31. This is SOOO typical of Trump

Do something - anything - and just barely understand (like a 20 watt nightlight bulb going off) what it is about. Then , rather than spending the time and intellectual coin to explore it even a bit more, will declare himself an expert or mastering the subject. He's done this all his life, why change? A superficial creature with a narcissistic core.

[Fritz Walter]

34. Clearly the guys in the photo were not the ones adminstering the test

I'm guessing it was these two:

Harold Bornstein M.D. {"malpractice defendant"}



and Ronny Jackson M.D. {"medicine dispenser" AKA "Candy Man"}

[Grokenstein]

35. They came to him with tears in their eyes and called him "sir."

"Oh great and mighty President Trump, sir, You passed this test with such flying colors surely You should be President for Life," they said, openly weeping at His glorious performance.

YOU TOO CAN TAKE THE TEST!! CAN YOU MEET THE CHALLENGE?

[DesertRat]

36. And Sarah Cooper nails it again!

[Lock him up.]

37. She's a treasure! :)

LOCK HIM UP!

MAKE JUSTICE GREAT AGAIN

[LakeArenal]

40. Every year Medicare gives me a cognitive test.

Not a very high bar, disgraced President.

It’s like saying, “I had a complete eye test when I renewed my drivers license.”

[Sneederbunk]

42. Yes, but Trump put in an all-nighter for this one.

[tclambert]

41. Trump took an IQ test and it came back negative.
