3:12Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said Tuesday that he "aced" a cognitive exam during a physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
"I got every question right, and these are tough questions," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting. "These are questions that I would say 99% of the people that I'm talking to right now, meaning the people from the fake news, would not do well in those exams."
Trump complained that news organizations focus less on his accomplishments and instead ask, "Is Trump in good health?"
The president's comments come a day after the White House released details of an MRI that Trump underwent in October.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump, the oldest person elected president in U.S. history, received the imaging "as part of his routine physical examination."
