Jon Stewart has the perfect response to Trump saying he's 'the only president to take a cognitive test' [View all]

Jon Stewart would like Donald Trump to think long and hard about why he’s being asked to take so many cognitive tests.

The late-night comedian reacted to Trump recently boasting about having to take the exam multiple times on Monday’s episode of The Daily Show. The 79-year-old president made his remarks at a Florida press conference on Friday, declaring himself “the only president to take a cognitive test” and explaining that the assessment involved looking at several animals and properly identifying one of them was a bear.

“You’re the only president to take the cognitive test. Let me ask you a question: Why do you think that is?” Stewart posed to Trump on his show as the audience burst into cheers and applause.

A clip from the episode showed Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., being asked to perform quick math and multiply 17 by six, with the politician claiming that the solution was “11, 12.”

“Eleven, 12 isn’t a real number. That’s two numbers, just placed side by side. I guess it’s the 2000s equivalent of 6-7,” Stewart remarked. “So I apologize. I know you’re a genius. Try again.”
