Election 2024: Trump challenges Biden to take a cognitive test but confuses the name of the doctor who tested him

WASHINGTON (AP) Donald Trump suggested Saturday night that President Joe Biden should take a cognitive test, only to confuse who administered the test to him in the next sentence.

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee referred to Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as White House physician for part of his presidency, as Ronny Johnson. The moment came as Trump questioned Biden's mental acuity, something he often does on the campaign trail and on social media.

He doesn't even know what the word inflation means. I think he should take a cognitive test like I did, the former president said of Biden during a speech at a Turning Point Action convention in Detroit.

A few seconds later, he continued, Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Texas Congressman Ronny Johnson? He was the White House physician and he said I was the healthiest president in history, according to him, so I immediately really liked him.

Jackson was elected to Congress in 2021 and is one of Trump's most vocal defenders on Capitol Hill.

Trump, who turned 78 on Friday, has made the question of whether Biden, 81, is a candidate for a second term, a centerpiece of his campaign. But online critics quickly seized on his Saturday night gaffe, with the Biden campaign, which has long fended off criticism over the Democratic president's verbal missteps, posting a clip of the moment minutes later.

Trump took the cognitive test in 2018 at his own request, Jackson told reporters at the time. The exam is designed to detect early signs of memory loss and other mild cognitive impairment.

Trump's Montreal cognitive assessment includes memorizing a list of spoken words; listen to a list of random numbers and repeat them backwards; name as many words as possible starting with, say, the letter F in one minute; accurately draw a cube; and describe in what concrete way two objects like a train and a bicycle are similar.

Trump later said he had to remember and accurately recite a list of words in order: Nobody. Women. Man. Camera. TV.

During the same speech in Detroit, Trump also referenced a video clip widely circulated online in Republican circles where Biden is seen at the recently concluded Group of Seven summit in Italy, watching paratroopers land with flags of different nations .

A cropped version of the video shows Biden walking away from the leaders, turning his back and walking in the other direction. He gives a thumbs up but it’s not clear who he’s waving at. A fuller angle of the same scene, however, shows that the president had turned toward a parachutist who had landed.

Trump nevertheless seized on the video clip, falsely depicting Biden turning to look at the trees, drawing laughter and boos from the crowd.

The Biden campaign released a statement dismissing the clip as misleadingly cropped and accusing those spreading it of doctoring the video to make up lies.
