The president posted late Saturday that a Montreal Cognitive Assessment administered at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center produced a score of 30 out of 30. The same post stated this was the fourth consecutive perfect result on the screening tool used to detect mild cognitive impairment.

The president wrote that the four tests together produced 120 correct answers out of 120 questions. The post described a perfect score as very rare, especially when repeated consecutively. The president also urged Congress to mandate comparable cognitive testing for every presidential candidate.
