President Trump's favorite show is very impressed with his brain.
After talking with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace about a cognitive test he'd taken, Trump once again defended his brainpower in an interview with Fox News medical analyst Mark Siegel that aired Wednesday. Trump didn't exactly take a cognitive test on national TV, but he did try to mock up the test by repeating "person, woman, man, camera, TV" a few times and then claimed nobody else can do that.
Siegel, a medical professor at New York University, appeared on Fox & Friends Thursday morning to recount his experience with Trump's cognitive prowess. While Siegel didn't actually watch Trump take a test, he said "the interview was a cognitive test" in its own right, and "he is extremely sharp on every second."

Siegel didn't mention how Trump found the end of the cognitive test to be difficult, even though the creator of the test has said "it's supposed to be easy."
