‘Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV’: Twitter Brutally Mocks Trump’s Description of Cognitive Test: WATCH

July 23, 2020 by John Wright Leave a Comment

In a new interview with Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel, President Donald Trump provided some additional details about a cognitive test that he recently claimed he aced, much to the surprise of doctors.

TRUMP: I asked the doctor, I said, 'is there some kind of cognitive test that I could take?' … the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question. You'll go 'person, woman, man, camera, TV.' So they say — 'can you repeat that?' … for me it was easy." 😳 pic.twitter.com/pCKYoNy3BH

The Daily Beast reports: Describing the memory recall portion of the test, Trump said he was asked to repeat the words “person, woman, man, camera, TV,” prompting him to act out the whole thing. “And then, 10 minutes, 15 minutes later, remember the first question, not the first but the tenth question? Give us that again,” Trump said, playing the administrating doctor. “And you go ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ If you get it in order, you get extra points!” Trump claimed the doctors told him that “nobody gets in order” and while it isn’t easy, it “was easy” for him. Adding that the doctors then “go back” to that question “20-25 minutes later,” Trump repeated the phrase before insisting this left the doctors in awe. “They say, ‘That is amazing. How did you do that?” Trump declared. “I do it because I have, like, a good memory. Because I’m cognitively there.”

More from the Washington Post: But medical and public health experts stress that the cognitive exam is not what Trump seems to think it is — an indicator of IQ or a cudgel to be wielded against a political opponent like a debate challenge. Experts say the president’s fixation on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment — or MoCA, as it is sometimes called — is particularly puzzling because the test is normally administered only if someone is concerned that they or their loved ones may be experiencing dementia or other cognitive decline. Getting a perfect score — as Trump has repeatedly claimed he did — merely signifies that the test-taker probably does not have a cognitive impairment as measured by the exam. “It’s not meant to measure IQ or intellectual skill in anyway,” said Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test. “If someone performs well, what it means is they can be ruled out for cognitive impairment that comes with diseases like Alzheimer’s, stroke or multiple sclerosis. That’s it.”

By Thursday morning, the hashtag #PersonWomanManCameraTV was trending on Twitter. More below.

"Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV" was the title of my third album. It had a Talking Heads vibe.

The SAT was much harder, but @realDonaldTrump wouldn’t know that. https://t.co/t9G52JszWG

It takes approximately 10 minutes to administer the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

In this response, President Trump talks about what happens "ten minutes, fifteen, twenty minutes later," and "about twenty, twenty-five minutes later." pic.twitter.com/jS7z72wVsv

How could anyone in the Trump campaign think that his continued talking about the cognitive test is going to help him? https://t.co/5qF1XuEo6K

Maybe he'll bring a psychiatrist to the next Covid-19 "briefing" show. https://t.co/mlpwriNiBY

Good Lord. Trump can’t remember the name of the test he took to test his memory. https://t.co/favlh2Qpdc
