US President Donald Trump's remarks about 'acing' a cognitive test have sparked online debate, even as he dominates headlines for a separate move: allowing his signature to appear on US currency for the first time.

During a recent cabinet meeting, Trump said he had taken a cognitive test three times and performed perfectly each time.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is the test Trump is believed to have taken, a short screening tool used by doctors to detect early signs of cognitive impairment or dementia.

Medical experts note that the test evaluates memory, attention, language, and basic problem-solving, not overall intellectual ability.

The controversy has unfolded alongside another move: Trump's decision to have his signature appear on US dollar bills, which is a break from long-standing convention.
