Trump Brags About Cognitive Test Says He Got Perfect Score

President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday claiming he achieved a perfect score on a cognitive test, stating he answered all 120 questions correctly across four separate examinations. Trump characterized the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a "high difficulty" exam and declared the perfect score represented "extreme intelligence," while calling for all presidential and congressional candidates to undergo similar testing.

CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner questioned why Trump was administered the dementia screening test repeatedly, noting the president had taken it three times previously. Reiner clarified in a follow-up post that the MoCA is specifically a dementia screening tool, not an IQ assessment, and that a score of 26 or higher constitutes normal cognitive performance rather than evidence of exceptional intelligence.

Trump has a history of publicly emphasizing his cognitive test results, frequently referencing them in statements and social media posts. The president's latest boast comes amid continued assertions about his mental acuity and fitness for office, which he contrasts with other presidents he claims have never taken such examinations.

The specificity of Reiner's medical critique undermines Trump's interpretation of the test results, exposing a fundamental mischaracterization of what the MoCA measures and what constitutes a meaningful score on the assessment. Trump's repeated emphasis on perfect or near-perfect scores, combined with the clinical purpose of the screening tool, suggests either a misunderstanding of the test's design or deliberate misrepresentation of its implications.

Trump Demands Judge’s Impeachment Over Kennedy Center Ruling

President Donald Trump demanded the impeachment of U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper after Cooper temporarily blocked Trump's planned renovations to the Kennedy Center and prevented Trump from adding his name to the building. Judge Cooper ruled that Congress alone has authority to establish the Kennedy Center's name and that the Board cannot unilaterally alter it without legislative approval. Trump attacked Cooper, accusing him of conflict of interest and alleging that the judge's wife's political views influenced the ruling, calling for the judge to face charges.

Trump characterized the Kennedy Center as "dilapidated, rusted, rotted, and rat and bug infested," framing the renovation project as necessary restoration work. The Kennedy Center Board has secured $257 million for the project and announced its intention to appeal Cooper's decision, continuing to push for approval to proceed with renovations. Trump's demand that a federal judge be impeached for an unfavorable ruling exemplifies his pattern of attacking the judiciary when court decisions contradict his agenda, undermining judicial independence and the rule of law.

Trump Attacks Pope Leo, Calls Chicago Mayor Johnson ‘Useless’

President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV on Saturday for meeting with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, calling the mayor "useless" and renewing his assault on the pontiff's opposition to Trump's Iran military campaign. Trump posted on Truth Social that "Someone should explain to the Pope that the Mayor of Chicago is useless, and that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon," responding to Johnson's photos from the Vatican showing him presenting the pope with a Chicago flag and Cubs hat. The attack marks an escalation in Trump's month-long feud with the American-born pontiff.

Trump's latest strike follows his April assault on Pope Leo for condemning Trump's threat to obliterate "a whole civilization" in Iran and for criticizing the administration's treatment of undocumented immigrants. At that time, Trump demanded the pope stop criticizing the president, declaring he was executing his "LANDSLIDE" mandate to achieve "Record Low Numbers in Crime" and the "Greatest Stock Market in History." Trump also claimed credit for Pope Leo becoming the first American pontiff, calling him "a shocking surprise" and declaring the pope should be "thankful."

Pope Leo rejected Trump's militarism directly, stating that "God does not bless any conflict" and calling Trump's Iran ultimatum "truly unacceptable." The pontiff previously condemned the Trump administration's "extremely disrespectful" treatment of immigrants. Trump responded by characterizing the pope's foreign policy views as "terrible" and branding him "WEAK" on crime and nuclear weapons.

Johnson, who met with Pope Leo on Friday, described the encounter as "one of the most awe-inspiring and humbling experiences of my life." The Chicago mayor shared images of himself with the pontiff, who was born in Chicago in 1955 and is a White Sox fan, making the Cubs hat in the photo particularly notable. Johnson's visit and positive remarks about the pope prompted Trump's hostile public rebuke.

This pattern of Trump attacking the pope over Iran policy decisions and diplomatic engagement demonstrates his intolerance for dissent from religious leaders on foreign military action. Trump's previous resort to posting AI-generated religious imagery depicting himself as Jesus after the Pope's Iran criticism underscores his demand for absolute loyalty and his conflation of personal grievance with matters of state.

Trump Mocks ‘Loser’ Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social mocking Representative Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson, depicting them in an SUV with other Trump critics including former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, Representative Lauren Boebert, and Senator Rand Paul. The image showed Massie driving while the others rode as passengers, captioned "Get in loser, we're going losing," in reference to critics Trump has labeled opponents of his MAGA movement.

Trump has previously attacked each figure in the image. He branded Massie "the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country" after Massie lost his Kentucky GOP primary to Trump's endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein, despite support from Boebert whom Trump called "weak minded" for campaigning for him. Trump also recently called Carlson "Low IQ" after the former cable news host criticized Trump's Iran war policy and alleged Israeli influence over U.S. decision-making.

The Saturday post was one of several from Trump targeting political opponents and critics. Trump also shared AI images of himself dunking over New York Governor Kathy Hochul and posts attacking former President Joe Biden on fentanyl policy, alongside images placing himself alongside George Washington and a bald eagle.

The mockery reflects Trump's pattern of attacking Republicans who dissent from his agenda or who have expressed public criticism of his policies and rhetoric, using social media to amplify grievances and maintain control over party messaging and loyalty.

Trump Posts AI Sweaty Dunk Pic of Him in Knicks Uniform

President Donald Trump posted a series of artificial intelligence-generated images on Truth Social on Saturday, including a fabricated image of himself dunking in a New York Knicks uniform against Governor Kathy Hochul and another depicting him alongside Tom Brady in a Patriots uniform. Trump confirmed he will attend an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden and used the posts to attack Hochul as a "failed Governor" while promoting Republican Bruce Blakeman. The president also posted an AI image of a trash can labeled as former President Barack Obama's presidential library.

Trump posted additional AI-generated images depicting 1950s or 1960s-era American street celebrations with the caption "America is back," timed to his promotion of a "Freedom 250" concert series billed as part of the Great American State Fair celebrating the country's 250th anniversary. The images were part of a sustained effort by Trump to dominate media attention during the event week.

Multiple musicians originally scheduled for the Freedom 250 lineup, including Martina McBride and Bret Michaels, withdrew from the event following public backlash. Trump responded by proposing to replace the performers entirely with himself, suggesting he would deliver a major speech instead of allowing the artists to perform. Trump claimed he draws larger audiences than Elvis and styled himself as "the Greatest President in History" while denigrating the scheduled musicians as "highly paid, Third Rate 'Artists.'"

The image postings reflect Trump's continued reliance on fabricated AI content to construct false narratives of popularity and accomplishment. The AI-generated street celebration scenes bore no connection to actual events, while the basketball imagery served as a vehicle for attacking a Democratic governor and promoting Republican alternatives during a period when Trump's administration was scheduling major public events.

Trump Replaces Musicians with Own Speech at Freedom 250

President Trump announced plans to replace musicians withdrawing from the Freedom 250 concert series with his own speech, describing himself as "the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World" and "the Greatest President in History." The announcement came after a majority of scheduled performers, including country artist Martina McBride and rapper Young MC, withdrew from the Great American State Fair celebrating America's 250th anniversary, citing misleading claims about the event's nonpartisan nature and undisclosed political involvement.

McBride stated she was "presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading," while Young MC claimed artists "were never told about any political involvement with the event." Trump dismissed departing performers as "highly paid, Third Rate 'Artists'" and stated he wanted only "Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN" surrounding him, ordering representatives to explore converting the concert into an "AMERICA IS BACK Rally" at the same Washington, D.C. location and time on Wednesday.

The proposal drew mockery across the political spectrum. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh called replacing a concert with a speech "lame and boring," urging Trump to hire actual musicians instead of canceling the event. CNN anchor Jake Tapper noted that artists' stated concerns about partisan perception would not be dispelled by Trump's announcement, while conservative attorney George Conway sarcastically commented on Trump's narcissism in response to the plan.

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan characterized the announcement as "Beyond. Parody," reflecting widespread skepticism about Trump's proposal. The episode demonstrates the perception among performers that the administration's America 250 events operate as political vehicles rather than genuinely nonpartisan celebrations, prompting high-profile withdrawals and prompting Trump to personally inject himself into the entertainment lineup.

Trump Threatens to ‘Blow Up’ Oman Over Strait

President Donald Trump threatened to "blow up" Oman, a US ally, over control of the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian state television reported a draft agreement between Iran and Oman to jointly manage commercial shipping traffic through the strategic waterway. Trump's threat prompted US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to issue a formal warning to Oman on Thursday, declaring that the United States would "aggressively target any actors involved, directly or indirectly," in implementing tolls on the strait and would penalize "any willing partners."

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei condemned Trump's threat as "another dangerous sign of the normalisation of lawlessness and bullying in international relations." The escalating crisis follows a US military strike against an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz, which prompted Iran's Revolutionary Guard to attack a regional US air base and warn of a "more decisive" response to further aggression.

Despite the intensified military tensions, unnamed US officials disclosed to Axios that American and Iranian negotiators have reached agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire and begin negotiations on the central nuclear issue. The agreement awaits Trump's approval, indicating a potential diplomatic off-ramp exists alongside the escalatory rhetoric and military exchanges.

Trump's threat to a NATO-aligned ally demonstrates his willingness to use military force against partners who do not comply with his demands, contradicting the principle of coalition-building essential to American foreign policy. Bessent's Treasury warning reinforced the administration's position that any nation facilitating the proposed Iran-Oman arrangement would face economic sanctions, effectively attempting to unilaterally dictate terms for one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

DHS Threatens to Halt International Flights in Sanctuary Cities

The Trump Administration is developing plans to halt international flight processing at airports located in sanctuary cities, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Speaking on Fox News in May 2026, Mullin stated the Administration is "currently drawing up plans" for the effort, framing it as retaliation against cities where local officials restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Mullin claimed that sanctuary cities cannot simultaneously refuse to enforce immigration laws while expecting the federal government to process international flights at their airports.

Mullin's threat targets major transportation hubs across the country. Airports potentially affected include New York's JFK, Los Angeles International, Newark Liberty, Chicago O'Hare, and San Francisco International, all among the busiest U.S. gateways for international travel. The Justice Department previously released a list identifying sanctuary cities, counties, and states as having policies restricting federal immigration enforcement cooperation. Mullin has previously suggested reducing Customs and Border Protection staffing at airports in these jurisdictions and met with airline and travel industry executives to discuss implementing such cuts.

The plan would inflict severe economic damage on communities across the country, regardless of political affiliation. According to Juliette Kayyam, a former DHS official under President Barack Obama, international flights cannot be diverted to alternative airports and would instead be cancelled entirely, disrupting both Democratic and Republican voters and causing substantial airline losses. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, characterized the proposal as "actively insane," warning that mass flight cancellations would generate economic chaos far beyond the targeted cities.

This threat represents the latest attempt by Trump to punish Democratic-led jurisdictions for disagreeing with his immigration agenda. The effort parallels earlier announcements to withhold federal funding from sanctuary states and cities, reflecting a broader pattern of weaponizing federal resources against political opponents. On his first day in office, Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary to ensure sanctuary cities lose access to federal funds, establishing the framework for escalating punitive measures.

The proposal demonstrates Trump's willingness to weaponize federal authority against cities and states that oppose his policies, causing collateral damage to millions of citizens and the economy itself. By threatening to disrupt critical infrastructure serving both supporters and opponents alike, the Administration is deploying federal power as a tool of political retaliation rather than governance, undermining the principle that federal benefits and services should serve all Americans regardless of their city's immigration policies.

Trump Shares AI Post of Obama as a Prisoner

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama in a mugshot labeled "Barack Hussein Obama" as part of a grid titled "The Shady Bunch," which included fabricated arrest imagery of former FBI Director James Comey and others. Trump captioned the post: "This is a bad (Sick!) group of people. Very destructive to our great Nation. Caused tremendous damage through Weaponization! President DJT." The image received approximately 25,000 likes and over 8,000 shares on his platform.

Trump has repeatedly used AI-generated content to depict Obama under arrest, falsely promoting unsubstantiated claims grouped under "Obamagate," which alleges improper investigation of his 2016 campaign. Multiple investigations have found no evidence Obama ordered illegal surveillance or directed any probe into Trump's campaign. Trump has previously shared AI videos showing Obama arrested in the Oval Office and imprisoned in jail cells, and in February posted a manipulated video using racist imagery that portrayed Obama as a monkey before withdrawing it under significant backlash.

Trump's post directly contradicts his own criminal record. Trump faces multiple convictions and has an official mugshot on file, whereas the individuals depicted in his fabricated grid have no such criminal records. Critics including Democrat Melanie D'Arrigo and other social media users highlighted this contradiction, with one commenter juxtaposing Trump's actual mugshot against his AI fabrications to underscore the hypocrisy.

A 2025 Emerson College poll found that 47 percent of Americans trust information from the Trump administration and 46 percent trust social media, indicating the potential real-world impact of such misinformation. Critics including author Jennifer Erin Valent and podcaster Jim Stewartson condemned Trump's use of fabricated imagery as dangerous, with Stewartson noting Trump "spends hours every day brainwashing himself on his website which is an alternate reality largely created by QAnon" and stating Trump's mind "does not distinguish between the Qniverse and the objective world."

Trump's pattern of distributing AI-generated and manipulated content extends beyond Obama. In April, he shared an AI image depicting himself as a Christ-like figure healing a sick man, which drew condemnation from religious leaders before Trump deleted it and falsely claimed it showed him as a doctor. The White House did not respond to requests for comment on the Obama mugshot post.

Trump Aide Steven Cheung Criticizes Mike Pompeo Over Iran Deal Comments

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung attacked former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday for criticizing Trump’s proposed Iran nuclear agreement, posting vulgar criticism on X stating that Pompeo “has no idea what the f*ck he’s talking about” and demanding he “shut his stupid mouth.” Cheung claimed Pompeo lacked access to current negotiations and therefore possessed no legitimate basis to comment on the still-developing framework.

Pompeo had posted hours earlier that the reported Iran deal follows patterns from the Obama administration that he characterized as capitulation to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, stating it would enable Iran to develop nuclear weapons and maintain control of shipping lanes. He called for the U.S. to instead blockade Iran’s access to funds and eliminate Iranian military capability threatening regional allies.

Conservative critics including Senator Ted Cruz joined Pompeo’s opposition, warning the agreement would deliver billions to an Islamist regime while permitting uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons development. Pompeo has faced prior conflicts within Trump’s orbit, including efforts to prevent his appointment to cabinet positions.

Cheung’s public assault on Pompeo reflects the Trump administration’s pattern of attacking dissenting voices within its own party and former appointees. The dispute demonstrates how Trump administration officials deploy aggressive rhetoric and personal attacks to suppress criticism rather than address substantive policy disagreements about Iran negotiations.

Trump previously praised Pompeo for combating press scrutiny, and the current conflict underscores how Trump demands absolute loyalty from current and former officials, moving to silence former Secretary of State Pompeo when his views diverge from administration positions on foreign policy.
