President Donald Trump bragged that he is "young" and "vibrant" compared to the residents of The Villages retirement community in Florida on Friday.
"I don't happen to be a senior," said the 79-year-old president. "I'm much younger than you. I'm a much younger man than you. Look at you old guys. Wouldn't you like to be my age? Young, vital, vibrant."
Trump then went on to brag about his performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, which is a screening test for dementia in the elderly — suggesting many of his supporters in attendance probably couldn't have done as well as he did, and taking a jab at former President Barack Obama.
"I took three of them," said Trump. "I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. Didn't he get into Harvard with a C average? The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions."
Trump's conspiracy theories about Obama's academic records date back over a decade. In reality, Obama's biographer David Maraniss has said he had a respectably high 3.7 grade point average before getting into Harvard Law School.
The president has made his performance in dementia screenings a frequent talking point; earlier this week, he made a similar claim about "acing" the MoCA in the same speech where he forgot how many terms he had served as president.
