Donald Trump referred to Volodymyr Zelenskyy as 'President Putin' during a NATO press conference.

Trump's mental health has been a cause of worry as of late, despite the Celebrity Apprentice alum claiming he passed all of his cognitive tests with flying colors.

Some critics believe Trump may be suffering from dementia, as he's been seen falling sleep during meetings and sometimes has been spotted wandering off.

Back in May, he raved about getting a "perfect" 30 out 30 score on the exams, taking to his Truth Social account to troll the haters. The rant came just a day after the White House released the results of Trump's annual physical.

Donald Trump claimed he got a 'perfect score' on his recent cognitive test.

“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence,'” Trump wrote on social media.

"Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked!" he continued.

"It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row. All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it," Trump boasted.

According to his doctor Sean Barbabella's medical report, Trump is mentally fit to run the United States, calling the former media personality's “cognitive and physical performance" excellent.
