Trump passed a Montreal Cognitive Test that now CNN is trying to downplay because Biden refuses to take one. Biden refuses to take the test because he would not have 'a snowball's chance in Hell of passing such a test.' Dr. Sanjay Gupta is claiming Joe is OK, he's basically covering for Ol' Joe.
No, he didn't.
Trump CLAIMED he did.

President Trump on Wednesday night resurrected his story about a
2018 cognitive test he insists he got a “perfect mark” on, now claiming he also got “extra points” for a particularly impressive feat.
The feat? Repeating the words “person, woman, man, camera, TV” in the right order.
Saying he took his cognitive test “probably a year ago or less than a year ago,” he went on to recount that he asked former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson if there was some kind of “acuity test” he could take,
which occurred in early 2018.
“He said there actually is, and he named it, whatever it might be,” Trump said. “And it was 30 or 35 questions—the first questions are very easy and the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question.”
Describing the memory recall portion of the test, Trump said he was asked to repeat the words “person, woman, man, camera, TV,” prompting him to act out the whole thing.
“And then, 10 minutes, 15 minutes later, remember the first question, not the first but the tenth question? Give us that again,” Trump said, playing the administrating doctor. “And you go ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ If you get it in order, you get extra points!”
Trump claimed the doctors told him that “nobody gets in order” and while it isn’t easy, it “was easy” for him. Adding that the doctors then “go back” to that question “20-25 minutes later,” Trump repeated the phrase before insisting this left the doctors in awe.
“They say, ‘That is amazing. How did you do that?” Trump declared. “I do it because I have, like, a good memory. Because I’m cognitively there.”
Chris Wallace, however,
pointed out to Trump that the exam isn’t actually hard, as it is meant to test cognitive impairment.
“They have a picture and it says ‘what’s that’ and it’s an elephant,” Wallace said to Trump on Sunday. Trump insisted at the time that other questions were much harder and Wallace “couldn’t answer many of the questions” while claiming he personally “answered all 35 questions correctly.”
MoCA, a 30-point assessment that is administered over 10 minutes.
You can remember that but can't remember what test it was, when you took it, or how many questions were involved.
Yep, a "genius"
