Jimmy Kimmel boldly takes Trump’s 'dementia' test and shares exactly how difficult it is

Jimmy Kimmel decided to take part in a cognitive test, which Donald Trump previously bragged he'd 'aced' after describing them 'not easy'.

The president was speaking about the US economy during a speech last month, and he bizarrely got to the point where he told the North Carolina audience that he 'did something no other president's ever done'.

"I took cognitive tests because I know that, and by the way, not easy," Trump said, before telling the audience the test involved being able to identify pictures of animals correctly.

To question the theory 'the test is not the simplest', Jimmy Kimmel filmed a segment for an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he took the same test.

The talk show host sat down with a doctor to take the test, who explained it's typically for people aged '65 and over'.

Kimmel had to complete a number of different tests, including drawing a 3D image of a cube, sketching out a clock face, and then drawing the hands correctly when asked to add the time.

Kimmel was then shown a series of animal pictures, which he had to identify. The 58-year-old correctly stated he could see a lion, rhino, and camel.

"I just saw Zootopia, so I know all the answers," Kimmel joked as he continued to press through the cognitive test with ease.

It did get a little more difficult for Kimmel as he was asked to remember a series of words for later on, while maths questions involved starting at the number 100 and continuing to subtract seven.

Despite the slightly tougher questions towards the end, Kimmel managed to pass the test with flying colors and received a 'perfect score' of 30 out of 30.

Kimmel had a savage message for the president at the Critics Choice Awards after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was briefly pulled off the air by ABC, following complaints from two major affiliate station owners, Nexstar and Sinclair, over a monologue in which Kimmel discussed Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter.

"And most of all, I want to thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom, we would be going home empty-handed tonight," Kimmel said on Sunday (January 4).

“So thank you, Mr President, for all the many ridiculous things you do each and every day. It’s been a banner couple of weeks, and we can’t get wait to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them. Thank you, everyone.”
