AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
President Donald Trump again touted his "perfect" overall health and said all presidential candidates should take a mandatory cognitive exam.
In a Friday post on Truth Social, Trump said White House doctors have reported he is in "PERFECT HEALTH" and that he "ACED" his cognitive examination for the "third straight time" — something he claimed no other president or vice president has been willing to do.
Trump added that anyone seeking the presidency or vice presidency should be required to pass a "strong, meaningful, and proven" cognitive test.
