‘These Are Very Tough!’ Trump Brags To Hannity About Acing That ‘Person Woman Man Camera TV’ Test

 

Former President Donald Trump again bragged to Sean Hannity that he “aced” that cognitive test he made famous with a daffy five-word list — claiming the questions were “very tough!”

On Thursday, Trump again boasted that he once “ACED” a cognitive test, and asserted “All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test!” in a Truth Social post.

And later, on Thursday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Hannity — the same place he first boasted in 2020 that doctors were “surprised” when he “aced” a recent cognitive test — Trump harkened back to the viral moment he made the words “Person, woman, man, camera, TV” famous in another Fox interview.

Trump told Hannity that he got all of the questions right, and they were “very tough”:

SEAN HANNITY: I don’t believe he would be capable of sitting down to do an interview like this.

DONALD TRUMP: (crosstalk)

SEAN HANNITY: I debated Gavin Newsom, I said the problem is, the guy that you are bragging about could not have this exchange.

DONALD TRUMP: He could not do this interview. He couldn’t do an interview where you ask even a few questions.

And I said this morning, I say it loud and clear, you should take a cognitive test. A president should take a cognitive– no. They say that’s unconstitutional for whatever reason, it’s unconstitutional.

But I took two of them and I aced both of them. I’m very proud to say! Meaning, I got it all right. And they’re not that, they– Ronny Jackson did one.

They’re not that easy, you know. They they show you the first ones are pretty easy. And then you get up, you get into the middle category, then you get to the end. Questions are very few people could answer those questions. They’re they’re actually very tough.

SEAN HANNITY: I’ve seen the test.

Then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson revealed in 2018 that he did not think cognitive testing was “clinically indicated” but Trump insisted:

I was not going to do a cognitive exam, I had no intention of doing one. The reason that we did the cognitive assessment is, plain and simple, because the President asked me to do it. He came to me and he said, is there something we can do — a test, or some type of screen that we can do — to assess my cognitive ability?

And so I looked into it, and once again — and my initial question was that I didn’t think it was indicated and I didn’t think we should do it. After looking at some of the guidelines, there are a few guidelines out there that lean in the direction of potentially doing it. You know, the Medicare guidelines and some of the NIH, National Institute of Aging — they’ve indicated that it might be a good thing to start doing for most patients in the future.

With that in mind, I went through and I looked at a variety of the cognitive assessments that were available. Most of them were very simple, very short. And I think that’s the goal, actually, for primary care providers, in doing this, is to keep it simple. Keep it short.

We picked one of the ones that was a little bit more involved, it was longer. It was the more difficult one of all of them. It took significantly longer to complete, but the President did exceedingly well on it. So that was not driven at all by any clinical concerns I have; it was driven by the President’s wishes and he did well on it.
