'Biden refused it, Kamala refused it; I got every answer right': Trump after cognitive exam

US President Donald Trump took a fresh dig at former president Joe Biden after completing his annual physical at Walter Reed. Trump said he aced a cognitive test — something Biden has repeatedly avoided.

Speaking to the reporters aboard Air Force One , the president said, "I wanted to be a little different than Biden. I took a cognitive test. I don't know what to tell you other than that I got every answer right."

I have taken the cognitive test four times and I got nothing wrong. That's what the American people want. Biden refused to take it, Kamala refused to take it, I think most of them refused to take it, but I don't refuse to take it," he added.

Biden, now in his eighties, has avoided taking a formal cognitive test. Last year, the White House said he didn’t need one. Former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this view came from Biden’s medical team, including his neurologist, reported New York Post.

Concerns about Biden’s memory increased after special counsel Robert Hur noted issues in a report about Biden’s handling of classified documents. Biden later told ABC News that he had a full neurological test and regular physicals but did not agree to a cognitive exam.
