Trump: I had a perfect cognitive test
SUMMARY: Former President Trump announced he took a successful cognitive test, claiming he achieved a perfect score. He noted positive results from his recent physical examination and expressed pride in the country’s economic growth, emphasizing that the U.S. has become much richer. Trump criticized past administration policies for allowing unchecked immigration and inflation, asserting that such issues must be remembered. He pledged to implement tariffs on various imports, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, aiming to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign nations, particularly China, for essential goods. Overall, he conveyed a forward-looking vision for America’s future.
President Trump spoke briefly with reporters as he boarded Air Force One over the weekend.
Trump said his physical and cognitive tests went extremely well.
“So I think most of you have seen they released my physical physical on Friday, and I understand it was a very good report, and that was very perfect. And I took a cognitive exam, and I would challenge anybody here to beat those marks, because I have a perfect mark. Were you impressed by that?”
On markets seeing ambiguity with tariff back and forths.
“Oh they’re shouldn’t be ambiguity. We have a tremendous country. We have a country that’s much richer today than it was a few months ago. We have a financial system that’s very respected, and we’re going to do great. And we were taken advantage of and ripped off by every country all over the world, almost just about they laughed at us. We were run by foolish people, and they took advantage of our country, and we’re just not going to let that happen anymore.”
