Donald Trump has hailed the "perfect" results from a recent cognitive test, claiming it showed "extreme intelligence" while also taking a veiled swipe at former presidents and vice presidents. The US President took to his social media platform Truth Social to brag about his fitness tests, in which he claimed to have achieved the highest possible score.

Mr Trump said he was awarded a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test, and "extremely good" results in the physical exam. He wrote: "The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, and just released, were extremely good.

"Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered 'extreme intelligence.'

"Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row.

"All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Earlier this week, Mr Trump announced he'd finished the physical exam, concluding that "everything checked out perfectly".

He wrote: "Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House. President DJT."

The physical was described by the White House as an annual preventative medical and dental checkup. It marked his fourth publicly disclosed medical exam since he returned to office for a second term.

However, his post sparked scepticism among his critics, who appeared to question his claims.

One person joked on X: "At this point I’m convinced Trump approaches presidential health updates the same way he approaches golf scores, election maps, and crowd sizes: not merely healthy… the healthiest anyone has ever been in the history of health."

Another wrote: "ACES??” That’s hilarious. His hands are constantly bruised, has chronic insomnia, swollen ankles. And that just what we can see."
