If he had failed the test, we would never have heard about it it would have been a big concern. It is definitely worth knowing that he does not have dementia. But the standard for fitness for office should be much higher than "not suffering from dementia". The petulant little boy guy clearly ain't quite right in ways that really matter for a president of the country.

This author says we are taking the mental acuity test too lightly.

Why you may be misunderstanding the mental test that Trump passed with flying colors

I believe the author is saying only that some people may be misunderstanding the denotations and connotations of trump’s MoCA results.
You're not supposed to rely upon just the one test, though. Alone it's something like 13% accurate in predicting a decline from degenerative conditions.

There are a battery of tests to do in a legitimate mental assessment.

So, this is just another empty gesture. Grandstanding. Putting on a show for the rubes.

Look at it this way: Have you ever seen a sane person who acts like Trump?

239 lbs, borderline obese. Otherwise he seems to have pretty good health for his age.

I thought maybe he might have a debilitating condition that would require his resignation, but no.

Unless he's grown, that IS obese. Oh wait, he did grow an inch.

Now, if we had a waist measurement we'd know for sure. In many pictures, it looks to be well past 44". Regardless, it's all fuel for heart disease and stroke. If he hasn't had a quadruple bypass, he's well on his way. Swinging a golf club and walking a green won't really add that much to the exercise column.

Of course, this is all coming from "REAR" Admiral Dr. Ronnie Jackson… he's either bucking for another stripe or he is truly a "REAR" Adm.
