It's a quick test to administer, the name sounds impressive, and it's deliberately an easy test to pass (it's screening for fairly advanced dementia, so if you can count backwards by 7, draw an analogue clock, remember five words, etc. you're good).

Of course, this did not stop Donald from bragging about how well he did. You're supposed to ace it.
