but genius,” Trump boasted, apparently unaware that letter grades are not issued on the test.
According to Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test, “I cannot stress strongly enough that the test does not measure IQ or intellectual skill in anyway. People close to Mr. Trump probably noticed some mental decline, like brushing his teeth with Coke instead of water, or forgetting how to hold a Bible. It’s important to remember that dementia symptoms can appear at the drop of a hat, so I highly recommend that a person in Mr. Trump’s position be tested every
day unfailingly.”
Dr. Nasreddine acknowledged the possibility that Mr. Trump may, in the president’s words, be “cognitively there” but stressed that it is equally important for the president to be “cognitively here.” “If the president is not cognitively here, he could be on another planet, somewhere in an imaginary world, or simply unreachable in the real world. I don’t believe our country can afford to take that risk, so daily MoCA testing is vital in Mr. Trump’s case,” Dr. Nasreddine concluded.
