Donald Trump has boasted endlessly about how he “aced” his cognitive test as if it somehow indicates his superior intelligence. Trump has repeatedly said that doctors were “very surprised” after he passed his cognitive test because it was “rare” to do so. It isn't "rare", and no competent doctor would ever say something that provably false. 

If Trump really wanted to impress us, he would take the U.S. Citizenship test alongside Kamala Harris, have the tests graded and the results compared on national television. Then we, like Trump's imaginary doctors, would all be “very surprised” when he "aced" it.
