"Donald Trump also took a cognitive exam while receiving an MRI for unspecified reasons during a physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in January 2018. While he reportedly achieved a perfect score of 30, MRIs are a non-invasive imaging technique often used to assess brain activity, cognitive function, and even injury and abnormalities in the brain, the nervous system, or in other body parts. Mary Trump took the MoCA in a video that she posted online yesterday."
"But even though Mary Trump did well on the test, which was conducted by someone offscreen, she said in just four words that the president is "not a well man." "I am not a neurologist or a neuropsychologist, but I've been told that a doctor only orders that protocol [the MoCA] if they're concerned that the patient may have suffered some kind of stroke or something," Mary Trump said."
Mary Trump, a psychologist and Donald Trump's niece, took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and performed well. She said the president displays evidence of declining mental abilities and called him "not a well man." She noted that doctors typically order the MoCA when concerned about stroke or other neurological events. Donald Trump previously said he took the MoCA and called it "very hard," and he reportedly completed a cognitive exam during a 2018 MRI at Walter Reed, receiving a reported perfect score of 30. The MoCA includes tasks such as clock drawing, cube copying, word recall, object identification, sentence repetition, and date and location questions.
