Former President Donald Trump has been in the spotlight for advocating cognitive testing for political figures and guiding Nevada voters on electoral strategy. At a Las Vegas rally, Trump shared his experience with a cognitive test at Walter Reed, including tasks like remembering 'necklace' and mentally calculating '4733 times 7 divided by 4 adding 37.5'. He voiced his appreciation for tests and highlighted the cognitive test's complexity. Trump proposed that all presidential and vice presidential candidates undergo competency tests, possibly extending to other roles. Politically, he advised Nevada voters to skip the primary on 'Tuesday, Feb. 6', ignore mail-in ballots, and participate only in caucuses, dismissing the primary as 'meaningless'. His stance on cognitive testing led to an unexpected agreement from Ted Cruz and Jimmy Kimmel, with Kimmel humorously suggesting a 'Round Robin Tournament' for it.

Trump on how hard his cognitive test was: first you have to pick out a lion, but then they said multiply 4,733 by 7, without paper and pencil, divide by 4, and then add 37.5. https://t.co/TLVZud4mdk

Trump has spent a few minutes recalling a time he took a cognitive test at Walter Reed, including needing to end the test by relaying six words (or "names" like "necklace," he said) given at the start of the test, and mentally performing 4733 times 7 dived by 4 adding 37.5 https://t.co/fqS4dGPg6w
