Posting my observation here: > [@FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence (August 8, 2022)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fbi-search-and-seizure-at-trumps-mar-a-lago-residence-august-8-2022/969329/3256): > > It’s a pretty hard test. If you have advanced dementia. You have to know what a watch is used for _and_ recognize it in the wild. You have to know what the date is and where you are physically located. And you have to draw shapes. I’ve sat in on my mother taking this test a few times over the last 5 years or so. I’m convinced that the first, _secret_ part of the test is whether or not you’re insulted by the suggestion that this test is in any way difficult. Because it’s _not_ difficult at all - _ **if** _ you don’t have at least some dementia. What it means that Trump was bragging about his results on this test is left as an exercise for the readers. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-cognitive-assessment/806851)._
