President Donald Trump<\/a> floated that all presidents and vice presidents should take cognitive tests, days after bragging that he successfully completed a third cognitive exam.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump, 79, has frequently taken aim at former President Joe Biden<\/a> amid multiple books and reports detailing the decline of Biden\u2019s mental faculties while in office, and similarly cast doubt on whether other Democrats could pass a cognitive test.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Do you think Walz could pass a cognitive test \u2026 Do you think Kamala could?” Trump said Tuesday at the Kennedy Center for the House GOP Member Retreat. “I don\u2019t think Gavin could. He\u2019s got a good line of crap, but other than that, he couldn\u2019t pass.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump was referring to former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz <\/a>and California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE TRUMP\u2019S PRIVATE SCHEDULE AS MEDIA FIXATES ON HIS HEALTH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Spokespeople for Harris and Walz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News<\/a> Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to a request for comment, Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon replied to Fox News Digital: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s statements come after he claimed he “ACED” another cognitive examination<\/a>, and backs mandatory cognitive exams to prevent “‘STUPID’ or INCOMPETENT PEOPLE!” from leading the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in “PERFECT HEALTH,” and that I “ACED” (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take,” Trump posted to Truth Social Friday.<\/p>\n

Trump also said Tuesday that he faces a catch-22 when it comes to completing a medical exam \u2014 or not \u2014 amid recent questions surrounding his health<\/a>. For example, concern has stemmed from bruising on his hands and reports regarding swollen ankles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If I don’t do a medical exam, they say, \u2018Trump\u2019s not doing an exam. There must be something wrong with him.\u2019 If I do the exam, they say, \u2018Why did he do this? Why did he do this part of an exam? He did too much. There’s something wrong with him,\u2019” Trump said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s comments come as he clarified to The Wall Street Journal<\/a> in a piece published Thursday that he received a CT scan, and not a more thorough, time-consuming MRI scan, for a medical examination he underwent in October. Trump said in the interview that he regrets taking the CT scan because it provided “ammunition” to those who have questioned his overall health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The October visit came after Trump\u2019s annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center<\/a> in Maryland. Afterward, White House physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, claimed that the president “remains in excellent health.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt<\/a> has dismissed questions about Trump\u2019s bruised hands and attributed the markings in July to “frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.” Likewise, she said that Trump\u2019s swollen legs are a “benign and common condition” that sometimes plagues those over the age of 70.\u00a0<\/p>\n
