President Donald Trump, the steadfast leader of our nation, shared a triumphant moment with reporters aboard Air Force One this past Friday night. Trump, at 78, continues to prove his vitality, announcing to the nation that he took and passed a cognitive test during his annual physical at the esteemed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
The President assured the American people, “I felt I was in very good shape,” and promised that a doctor’s report would follow on Sunday. In keeping with his commitment to transparency, Trump announced that he has successfully completed several cognitive tests over his career, in stark contrast to his predecessor, Joe Biden, who declined such assessments.
Bloomberg’s Josh Wingrove shared a snapshot of Trump engaging with the press en route to Palm Beach, Florida:
Trump, speaking to reporters on the flight to Palm Beach, discussed the physical exam he took today. “Every test you can imagine” and “I think I did well,” he said, adding the report will be released Sunday. He said it included a cognitive test & said he passed every question.
