2. Perhaps you're the only president in recent memory who needed to take the cogni-titive test.

3. Too bad the clip ends so abruptly. I think he was about to discuss the test, and his performance on it.

Would've been fun to hear him brag about how he could correctly identify a horse, and say what day of the week it was, and all the other high-powered cognititive functions he possessed.

Every time I hear him speak now, I think of Jamie Foxx’s hilarious impression of him (‘Excuse me, EXCUSE me…Fake news!…).

It's coming up more and more, recently. I think F47 took a sharp downturn about 9 months ago, and the medical staff are tracking it with weekly testing. He seems to enjoy talking about this particular test, so it's easier for the doctors to cajole him into taking it. Frequently. He likely remembers little of the test beyond his favorite part, cartoon animal identification.
