Depends on your population. In people Trump's age mild cognitive decline is the norm (forgetting names, places, where you placed the keys, etc). Again even I wouldn't necessarily score a 30 on a random day. I think it's odd that someone people we suspect of severe dementia would score a perfect 30 is all.

The test grading is has some subjectivity in terms of grading and also is somewhat liberal in terms of how much assistance or cues can be given on request. Regardless, my suspicions remain. I've given the MOCA probably 50 times. I don't think I have ever gotten a 30.

Maybe that says more about you than the President. I would think that after 50 times you would be able to pass with no problems.
 
I didn't read through the entire thread. This is a fairly recent news item, maybe a day or two old, and we've already piled up more than a hundred posts.

Here's something else from the day's news. The congressional committee interviewed DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and a well-known legislator asked her whether Norway was populated by mostly "white people," in reference to the meeting in which the so-called Pres asked about "shithole countries." She said she didn't know.

Such duplicity. It has been observed that Nielsen has Swedish roots. She would know damn well something about Norway's demography, even if she isn't Norwegian-American.

This country has become very, very sick, very, very fast.

But looking at the issue about the so-called Pres's physical, noting that he was given a "cognitive" test, watch all the Trumpies stamp their feet and proclaim "See?! He's perfectly fit for office!"

The man has a psychological disorder. Further, he is morally and intellectually bankrupt -- things I'm sure have no significance for his vast following.

He may not be "cognitively impaired" with dementia, but he is cognitively unprepared.

He's a Liar.

He's most likely a Traitor.

And he doesn't give a damn about us. As for his base, he only cares about them for his own advancement.

I spit . . . on "YOUR" president . . . of MY country. And if the shoe fits . . . . I spit on you.

Maybe if you stomp your feet some more ........................
 
Husband. LOL

The reason I love him still after 19 years or 5000 years depending on my mood is because he's extremely smart (smarter than me, it's infuriating!), fit and trim-ish, good looking, funnier than any one else I know (except me, I'm funnier than him), creative, witty & clever, very responsible, open-minded (in a no-nonsense kind of way, an asshole is an asshole, a decent person is a decent person) and most importantly, he loves me <--- TOLD YOU he is super smart!

Do you wish he were your husband? HANDS OFF!

Yet Trump would never be able to pass it without someone lying for him. Trump's the biggest moron we've ever seen. You know it's true, he'd never be second best at it.

Maybe . . . . What?!

I know a Russian immigrant and hairdresser who tells me "Just turn off the TV. Get rid of the news sources. Go up to the mountains . . . "

And every morning, I turn on any news channel that practices objective journalism. It's amazing I can keep my breakfast down. But a physical wouldn't discover the reason . . . why I almost can't. . . .

Nope, Not in any way.

Yes the DHS Secretary looked and sounded dumber than shit. It's astounding the lack of fear of sounding and looking stupid this Administration has. It makes me sick to my stomach. Harris and Booker lit in to her pretty good though. Not sure it'll do any good but still, props to them.
 
I am in a perfect position to doubt doctors. In fact doctor's call me in exactly when they are in doubt and I tell them what to do. Long and short of it is the result is odd. It's not impossible but is very very odd. It's like finding out a kid you suspect needs to be held back a grade or two because of a ton of Fs that everyone sees and knows about gets a perfect score on a SAT which was administered in secret.
Perhaps it's selection bias? I'm not sure what you do, neuropsych? Perhaps the patients that get to you just happen to be a population that have a much higher incidence of cognitive impairment. Like interchange, I've given the MMSE and MoCA more times than I can remember and probably could administer either from memory. I've seen many 30's. That said, I've administered it to patients for whom my pretest probability of any degree of cognitive impairment was nill.

What population are you testing? MCI prevalence in people older than Trump seems to be about 20% on the high end. Normal age related cognitive decline mostly affects processing speed which is not a component of the MoCA, but I agree can affect the score nonetheless. I've probably administered it closer to 100 times, but not in its intended population either, so I'm not sure I could generalize my results.
 
Hmm, how did Trump the miracle worker grow 1 inch as a mature adult? Maybe to stay out of the obese category. If he puts on 15 lbs this year his height will probably be listed as 6'7"
90
 
BTW - Obama lists his height as 6'1". You tell me. Trump seems shorter then Obama even with poofy hair.

How can Trump be labled "healthy" when he's overweight, doesn't exercise and pigs out on fast food and soda..WTF!...

Good to know Trump is medically fit to stand trial.

Blood work and such, also its important to note he is healthy for his age. The Doctor was pretty specific about Trump being in good to excellent health for his age and he would be in better health with an improved diet and exercise.
Its just another thing to be jealous of Trump for.
