President Donald Trump has once again drawn attention to his cognitive test results, this time emphasizing that multiple doctors were impressed by his performance. However, late-night host Seth Meyers challenged this claim during his ‘A Closer Look’ segment on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday.
Rather than addressing pressing voter concerns like gas prices, Meyers focused on Trump’s fixation with cognitive testing. The host mocked the former president for showcasing the number of tests he has taken, particularly his latest remarks about the process.
During a recent appearance, Trump described the scene:
"I got the score and the test, the doctor said, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen’ — you know, you have five doctors lined up. They’re all over the place."
Meyers responded with skepticism:
"I’m sorry, so wait a minute. One doctor said, ‘I’ve never seen that,’ and suddenly there were five doctors in the room? Usually that means you’re about to have a disease named after you."
He added,
"Seriously, you have five doctors who are all watching you take a cognitive test, and you’re not concerned? If I go for a standard physical, and my doctor calls in a second doctor, I immediately call my wife to say goodbye."
Meyers then humorously imagined the scenario, questioning whether the doctors were in lab coats, if Trump had electrodes on his head, or if a fellow patient—possibly a gorilla—was present.
