Late-night host Seth Meyers is taking aim at Donald Trump's repeated boasts about acing cognitive exams, arguing that the U.S. President's obsession with perfect scores may be revealing more than intended. During a fiery monologue, Meyers mocked Trump's claim that scoring 30 out of 30 on a dementia screening proves 'extreme intelligence,' joking that confusing a cognitive assessment with an IQ test defeats the purpose entirely.
Meyers Questions Repeated Testing
The comedian also questioned why Trump has taken the test four times, suggesting repeated evaluations could indicate concern rather than confidence. Meyers pointed out that most people who are confident in their cognitive abilities do not feel the need to take the same test multiple times. He further speculated that Trump's insistence on publicizing his scores might be an attempt to distract from other issues.
White House Defends Trump's Health
The clash comes as the White House touts Trump's latest medical report as proof he remains fully fit for office. Officials have emphasized that the President's cognitive function is excellent and that the test results are just one part of a comprehensive health evaluation. However, critics argue that the administration's focus on the cognitive test is unusual and may be a response to ongoing questions about Trump's mental acuity.
Meyers' monologue has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many viewers agreeing that the President's repeated testing is unusual. Others have defended Trump, saying that he is simply proud of his results and wants to share them with the public.
