Has Donald Trump ever released official cognitive test results and when?

1. What officials have said: repeated claims and physician memos

White House physicians and Trump himself have said he underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment — Dr. Ronny Jackson in 2018 and Dr. Sean Barbabella in 2025 — and Trump has publicly boasted about achieving a “perfect” or high result, while a White House memo released about October imaging described that imaging as “perfectly normal” ^{[1] [2] [3]}. News outlets report physician statements and a memo from Barbabella about imaging; those sources do not publish raw MoCA answer sheets or official cognitive-score documents ^{[3] [2]}.

2. Which cognitive test is being discussed: the MoCA, not an “IQ test”

Multiple outlets identify the screening used as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a 10‑ to 15‑minute screening tool designed to detect mild cognitive impairment, not an intelligence (IQ) test; reporting stresses that it screens for possible dementia or decline but does not measure overall intelligence ^{[4] [5]}. Trump has described the test in public comments in ways that conflate it with an IQ exam; reporting and experts in these pieces clarify the MoCA’s clinical purpose ^{[4] [5]}.

3. What has been released publicly and what has not

The White House released a memo summarizing October 2025 imaging results as “perfectly normal” and providing the physician’s interpretation of cardiovascular and abdominal imaging ^{[3] [6] [7]}. By contrast, the available reporting does not contain the MoCA’s detailed score report or the patient’s precise item-by-item results; outlets cite physician confirmation that the MoCA was administered and Trump’s public claims about his score but do not reproduce official cognitive-test documents ^{[1] [3]}. Therefore, the full cognitive test record has not been published in the cited sources ^{[1] [3]}.

4. Timeline: when tests were given, per reporting

Reporting identifies at least two administrations of the MoCA: one in 2018 (by Dr. Ronny Jackson) and another in 2025 (by Dr. Sean Barbabella during the April 2025 physical and references to additional evaluations around October 2025) ^{[1] [8]}. In late November/early December 2025, Trump publicly referred to having taken a cognitive test and said he “aced” it while the White House simultaneously released an imaging memo about an October MRI — the two threads appear together in reporting but the MoCA’s raw results were not appended to the imaging memo ^{[2] [3]}.

5. How reporters and experts frame the evidence

Journalists note that physicians’ summaries and presidential statements are the public record; medical summaries are commonly released in memo form and can state impressions without producing raw testing materials ^{[3] [6]}. Coverage underscores the MoCA’s limitations — it screens for impairment but does not equate to an overall cognitive battery or an IQ test — a distinction emphasized by medical explainers cited in these stories ^{[5] [4]}.

6. Disputes, political implications and transparency questions

Coverage shows competing political uses of the test: Trump uses the test claims to rebut critics and mock opponents, while opponents and some commentators press for greater transparency ^{[2] [9]}. Reporting highlights that releasing summarized physician memos is standard but that some observers expect fuller records or raw test outputs for independent assessment; the cited sources do not report full disclosure of MoCA score sheets or comprehensive neurocognitive batteries ^{[3] [1]}.

7. Bottom line for readers

Available reporting confirms administrations of the MoCA in 2018 and 2025 and public statements that Trump performed well; the White House has released a physician memo summarizing imaging as “perfectly normal” but has not published the full cognitive-test documents in the reporting cited here ^{[1] [3]}. If you want the original MoCA score sheet or detailed neuropsychological results, those specific documents are not in the current reporting (not found in current reporting).
