President Trump on Friday said that he "aced" his cognitive examination "for the third straight time."

"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 on Truth Social on Friday.

"P.S., I strongly believe that anyone running for President, or Vice President, should be mandatorily forced to take a strong, meaningful, and proven Cognitive Examination. Our great Country cannot be run by 'STUPID' or INCOMPETENT PEOPLE! President DJT."

Trump's post comes a day after a Wall Street Journal article was published, where he rejected speculation about his health, declaring that there was "nothing wrong," which was supported by his doctor, who said the president was in "excellent overall health."
