US EditionMSNBC’s Jen Psaki & Lawrence O’Donnell Laugh About Trump’s ‘Cognitive Test’ Boasts
Trump claimed success on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and used it to disparage Democratic lawmakers, though experts note the test is not an IQ or aptitude measure.
- On Monday aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump said he passed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and challenged Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .

- The MOCA includes simple tasks such as drawing a clock, animal-identification items, and a repeat five words task, with Trump naming animals like a tiger and giraffe as easy early items.
- On Tuesday night, MSNBC hosts Jen Psaki and Lawrence O'Donnell mocked Trump's boast, joking House Speaker Mike Johnson should name animals while a split-screen linked Johnson's claims to Trump's behavior.
- During the Tuesday segment of The Last Word, Lawrence O'Donnell said, `Hey, Jen, I haven’t taken any What Animal Is That questions lately,` while Jen Psaki claimed they could pass the tests with flying colors.
