Is Trump OK? What He Isn't Telling the American Public.

.President Donald Trump repeatedly tells Americans he has taken cognitive exams and passed them easily. He has not released the records. What remains available for public evaluation is observable behavior, a documented history of false self-reporting, and a growing body of expert warnings framed explicitly as risk rather than diagnosis. In the gap between assertion and evidence sits something unusual in modern American politics: a presidency asking for trust while declining the verification that trust ordinarily requires.

President Donald Trump was not asked about his mental fitness. He raised the subject himself.

In a recent Oval Office meeting captured on video, the president shifted from prepared remarks into an unsolicited account of cognitive testing. He said he had taken cognitive exams. He said he had taken them multiple times. He said he had passed them easily. He said he had “aced” them.

He did not identify the tests, the clinicians who administered them, or the dates involved. No medical documentation accompanied the claims. No underlying cognitive test records, serial scores, or clinician documentation have been released publicly at any point during his presidency.

I believe his sister stated he had others write his exams and complete his work for him.
He's too stupid to know what he is actually bragging about.

should be a HUGE warning... and disqualifying to hold office.

I mean, what is it about him that makes the doctors think "hey, time for another cognitive test"?

if he’s getting these at reed, i find it appalling that someone who took an oath to defend against enemies foreign and domestic is covering up for a deranged cic.

Trmp trusts no one, no one trusts him, and the cards are all redacted. It has to break down completely, and soon.

School records but he was top of the class.
Tax records but he never cheated.
Health records but he's great shape.
We do however have proof he's a felon 35 times.
We can discern with our own eyes and ears he's sliding deeper and deeper into dementia.
He does however seem to still be capable of fomenting along with family of mobsters many grift options from selling pardons, to stealing mineral rights, and charging big bucks to be permanent president of his peace committee.
