Trump claimed he ‘aced’ a cognitive test that’s ‘not easy’, so Jimmy Kimmel decided to take it himself and the results are damning

Kimmel had no idea what he was walking into.

Jimmy Kimmel decided to take a cognitive test that Donald Trump had bragged about passing. Trump had said he “aced” the test and claimed it was “not easy.” So, Kimmel decided to give it a go himself and it turned out to be a hilarious endeavor.

According to Unilad, Trump was giving a speech about the US economy last month in North Carolina. During the speech, he told the audience that he “did something no other president’s ever done.” He then talked about taking cognitive tests and said they were “not easy.” Trump explained that the test included identifying pictures of animals correctly.

To test whether the exam was really that difficult, Jimmy Kimmel filmed a segment for his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he took the same test. The talk show host sat down with a doctor who explained that the test is usually given to people who are 65 years old and older.

The test turned out to be surprisingly simple for the late-night host

Kimmel had to complete several different tasks during the test. He drew a 3D image of a cube and sketched out a clock face. Then he had to draw the hands on the clock to show a specific time.

After that, Kimmel was shown pictures of different animals that he needed to identify. The 58-year-old correctly named a lion, rhino, and camel. He joked, “I just saw Zootopia, so I know all the answers,” as he continued through the test with ease.

The test became slightly harder when Kimmel had to remember a list of words for later. He also had to solve math problems that involved starting at 100 and subtracting seven over and over. Questions about Trump’s health and lifestyle choices have been raised by many observers recently.

Despite the tougher questions at the end, Kimmel passed the test easily. He received a perfect score of 30 out of 30. Meanwhile, Trump has been pushing for a third presidential term despite constitutional limits.

Kimmel also had a message for the president at the Critics Choice Awards. This came after ABC briefly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air following complaints from two major station owners, Nexstar and Sinclair. 

They complained about a segment where Kimmel discussed Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter. At the awards on January 4, Kimmel said, “And most of all, I want to thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom, we would be going home empty-handed tonight.”
