Donald Trump disclosed details of a cognitive test he ‘performed’ – including a five-word memory challenge which he said proved he had ‘the mental stamina’ to lead the United States .
“Nobody. Female. Male Camera. TV,” recited the US president as he revealed to Fox TV on Wednesday the details of the much-discussed test.
“The latter questions are much more difficult,” he said in an interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” in which he repeatedly questioned the mental capacity of his Democratic rival Joe Biden.
“As a matter of memory. It’s like, you’ll go: Nobody. Female. Male. Camera. Television,” the president said. “So they say, ‘Can you repeat that?’ So I said, “Yeah. It’s: Nobody. Female. Male. Camera. TV.” “
“Then ten minutes, 15, 20 minutes later, they say, ‘Remember that first question … Give us that again.’
“And you go,” No one. Women. Man. Camera. Television. “”
“And they say ‘this is amazing. How did you do that? “”
“I do it because I have, like, a good memory,” Trump continued. “Because I am there cognitively.”
In the interview, Trump also called on his Democratic rival Joe Biden – who currently leads Trump in the polls ahead of the November presidential election – to pass a similar test because “something is going on.”
“You need physical endurance,” he says. “You need mental stamina… we need to be sharp… President Xi is sharp. President Putin is sharp. Erdogan is sharp.”
The interview quickly drew ridicule on social media.
“I really can’t keep up,” tweeted Sarah Cooper, a Trump impersonator who rose to fame with parodies of some of the leader’s biggest hits, including “How to Obamagate” and “How to Strong Death Totals.”
Cooper targeted Trump in a previous “How to Do Cognitive” video, in which she ridiculed a previous interview he gave to Fox, where he said he “passed” an unspecified cognitive test.
