I've never heard any commentator point out a very obvious fact about the cognitive test that Trump "aced."

Those words were designed to be easily recalled. In no way would that have been a legitimate cognitive test.

The first three words "Person -> women -> man" are related and easily recalled in sequence. That would not happen in a legitimate test.

The last two words, "camera, tv" were recalled while STANDING IN FRONT OF A TV CAMERA.

Just a reminder that Trump cheats at everything, including dementia screening tests.
