Speaking at an event in Delaware County, Ohio, the former president told his supporters that he did not like being called stupid and that he wanted to prove his capabilities. He referenced having a conversation with Texas GOP Representative Ronny Jackson, who served as Trump's White House physician, in which he asked if there was a "test" he could take.
"I said to doc Ronny...I don't like when people call me stupid. I have a great heritage. An uncle who is a great, great genius. A father who is a genius. I don't like to be called stupid," Trump said. "Is there a test or something I can take to prove to these radical left maniacs I am much smarter than them? And he said, 'Sir, there is a test. It's called an X test.'"
The test that Trump is referring to is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). The assessment is not a test of IQ, but is instead designed to detect whether a person has cognitive impairments, such as dementia or memory loss.
Jackson administered him the test in 2018 and said he scored 100 percent. However, experts noted that MOCA gave no indication of Trump's actual intelligence. Several of the test questions appear simple, such as asking the person to draw a clock showing a specific time in order to gage for signs of cognitive difficulty, Newsweek previously noted.
