Former President Trump challenged President Biden to a cognitive test in a speech Saturday, but forgot the name of the doctor who gave him his own similar test.
Trump said in Detroit that “Doc Ronny Johnson” gave him a cognitive test that he “aced.” The doctor’s name is Rep. Ronny Jackson (R), who has since been elected to Congress in Texas.
The former president underwent a standard cognitive test in 2018, an assessment asking a patient to read and recall a set of words, identify shapes and other common tasks. The test is designed to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Trump went on a media tour bragging about his performance in 2020.
Trump, 78, has repeatedly held up his mental prowess, despite a shaky track record of mistakes mixing up names. Some of the country’s largest business leaders were “shocked” at Trump’s apparently rambling speech at a private meeting last week, CNBC reported.
