79-year-old US President Donald Trump, speaking at one of the largest retirement communities, The Villages in Florida, said that he was “still very young.” The White House broadcast his speech on YouTube.
More than 71,000 elderly citizens of the country live in the commune, who move there after retirement; Trump indicated that his proposed changes in legislation significantly reduced taxes on the expenses of older Americans.
“By the way, I am not a pensioner. I am much younger than you, a much younger man. Look at you – you are old! Would you like to be my age? Young, energetic, cheerful. Well, I am much, much younger than the people in this room, but I can still communicate with you,” said the American president.
He revealed details of the cognitive tests he took last December. Then he, quoting doctors, spoke of a “brilliant” result.
“The first question is very simple: a lion, a giraffe, a bear and a shark. They ask: “Which one is a bear?” … The last ten questions are a little more difficult, and not many people can handle them… And I answered all of them correctly,” the head of the White House said.
The test also included counting problems that “few people” answer correctly, he said. Trump also made several disparaging assessments of his predecessors Barack Obama and Joe Biden, saying he believed they would have failed such tests.
