Impact of Carillion dwarfs the Brexit and Trump effects
The first year of the Donald Trump presidency have seen ongoing concerns about his suspect judgement, planning, problem solving abilities and impulse control, culminating in a group of 70 mental health professionals sending a public letter to White House physicians urging them to evaluate his mental faculties. Happily, with the successful completion of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the free world can rest easy knowing that the leader of the United States is in peak mental condition. He was easily able to draw a clock, name a rhinoceros, recognise a lion, copy a line sketch of a cube, recall five words and repeat shorts lists of numbers forwards and backwards. The perfect score of 30 out of 30 may not support Trump’s claim that he is a stable genius, but it supposedly does assure us that he is not declining into dementia.
