Stephen Colbert Spots The Brain Test Trump Just Flunked Right In Front Of Everyone

The "Late Show" host explains the Trump moment with "a lot to unpack."
|

Late Show host Stephen Colbert on Monday mocked Donald Trump for obsessing over one strange issue.  

This man never lost sight of what matters most to voters: That he once took a cognitive test that checks for brain damage, he cracked. 

Trump has repeatedly boasted about how he aced the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), which he took in 2020 when he was president. Thats the widely mocked Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. test that checks for the cognitive damage that could indicate dementia. 

As such, its supposed to be easy

But the former president has insisted that its difficult , and did so again over the weekend in a clip Colbert played.

They give you six names in a row, I took a lot of heat on this, they give you six names in a row at the beginning, Sir, Im gonna give you six names. Good, Trump explained. A chair. A hat. A badge. A necklace. And a vote. 

Colbert found a lot to unpack in that one short clip.

First of all, those arent names. Those are things, Colbert said. He also said they give you six names: Chair, hat, badge, necklace, vote. Thats only five things. 

Then, he broke out his impression of Trump. 

Yknow cognitive tests are like jazz: Its about all the names you dont remember, he said.
