PressTV – June 18, 2021
A former White House physician has called on US President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive test as the 78-year-old’s performance over the past months has raised qualms about his mental capabilities.
Ronny Jackson, who currently serves as a congressman but used to work as former US President Donald Trump’s doctor, led a group of 14 Republicans who sent Biden a letter on Thursday urging him to take a cognitive test to prove he is mentally fit to be commander in chief.
Jackson and his Republican colleagues expressed “concern” about Biden’s cognitive state and cited several examples of potential memory lapses, including apparently forgetting the name of his cabinet members and seemingly blanking on the often-quoted first line of the US Declaration of Independence.
“Unfortunately, your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 18 months,” Jackson and the GOP reps wrote in the letter to Biden.
“We encourage you to follow the example set by President Trump by undergoing a cognitive test as soon as possible and immediately making the results available for the American people,” they added.
Given the precedent set and President Biden’s CLEAR mental struggles, I believe it’s past time he take a cognitive test.
I sent a letter to him saying just that! ⬇️https://t.co/6RCKj7pFYd

Jackson faced enormous pressure in 2018 to administer a cognitive test to Trump as pundits and mental health professionals openly speculated that the Republican could have early-stage dementia or a decline in mental health.
The presidential doctor announced in a press conference later that Trump had scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the test despite his junk food diet.
The GOP lawmakers urged Biden to follow the same example as Trump and take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), saying, “Given the precedent set and Biden’s clear mental impairment, we believe it is past time he undergo a cognitive test.”
Moreover, Jackson said in a separate statement on Thursday that, “The American people deserve to have absolute confidence in their president. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties demanded of the office, and they deserve to have full transparency on the mental state of their highest elected leader.”
The White House declined to comment on the GOP letter, but said in May that Biden would be going for a medical checkup this year and would be transparent about the results.
“The president is planning to have a checkup later this year, and the results will be released to the public,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox last month.
In October, Jackson joined a Trump campaign call with reporters and said he was convinced, based on campaign gaffes, that Biden “does not have the mental capacity, the cognitive ability to serve as our commander in chief and head of state.”
Biden turned 78 last November and became the oldest US president to run the country.
Biden, who had caught everyone’s attention with his malapropisms, mispronunciations and slurred remarks during the last year’s election campaign, was branded “Sleepy Joe” by his rival, Trump, who went to the extent of suggesting that his cognitive abilities be tested.
The 78-year-old US president, the oldest man to have occupied the Oval Office, stumbled and tripped three times while boarding the presidential plane in March.
The triple fall was among others mocked by Trump, who said it was a sign of “neurological deficiency and dementia.”
On March 18, a Russian politician also claimed that Biden was grappling with dementia, after the latter called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer.”
Fears were further accentuated on the same day after Biden referred to Vice President Kamala Karris as “President Harris,” drawing scorn and ridicule from friends and foes alike.
Biden, who survived two brain aneurysms in the late 1980s, has refused to take a cognitive test for dementia, even though concerns are mounting over his deteriorating health, which some fear could even compromise the US national security interests.
Since Biden couldn’t run a lemonade stand it’s obvious that he is not capable of performing the role of President and in fact is not carrying out that role. He is clearly a badly played puppet and it’s an insult to all Americans and everyone else that he has been placed in that position through a blatant coup. Something drastic needs to be done about the people who put him there and who are sustaining this gross travesty.
Who would believe the results of a Biden cognitive test? Just watch the sad videos.
I feel sorry for Biden (due to his dementia), however, he knows he has dementia, he should have dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination. An egotistical president with dementia. Oh the horror! The horror!
I keep trying to see the bright side of this, for all Trump’s faults 30 out of 30 keeps standing out. Joe would prolly be lucky to do half that, which would bring the world to Cackula, (shudder) or Nancy (shudder).
Careful what you wish for, in case you get it.
He was faked in as a pretex to get crackling kamala in the driving seat by 2022.. We all know Biden did not win especially No Way on hells earth did the creepy hair sniffing oaf get more than 80 million votes, if I recall he had 79 million dead footers vote for him, how the hell was that possible, haha her that’s right nothing to see here burger hahs
Is it only me ?I see blue eyed Jo, then brown eyed jo, in 1st day in office the left handed sleepy Jo signed exec orders, then later he was right handed,,, and don’t get me started on the cgi jo, or the green screen Jo, then who’s the sqwintee eyed Jo, come on MAN,, play the game,,, SNAP !! I won
They should all take a lie detector test, and then be jailed for treason.
Cackleala in waiting…not long. None of these presidential ” types ” know anything, and have their scripts written for them. Who is stupid enough to believe the likes of Trump, Biden, Johnson, Macron, Merkel make any decisions? And it was ever so. And the real power brokers? You’ll never know their names. All in the shadows.
Welcome to the Jewocracy masquerading as a ‘democracy’ with rigged elections, managed according to the Hegelian-Marxist dialectic…
Brian USA Joe Dementia believe that everyone opposing him has dementia & not him ? To his mind, when he can find it, he think that he’s sane …
How did this LIAR go from Doctor to congressman that fast? They (both parties) do NOTHING BUT LIE! I noticed that ’18’ months was in the article. Chai, for any Miles Mathis followers!
Although it’s getting difficult – too many people are noticing the green screens, use of doubles and so on – but they are not quite ready to remove Biden and openly replace him with Harris. Still, it’s getting close.
I suspect that Biden may ‘unexpectedly’ die in office.
Obviously, this rep doc and his cohorts will think this thru,
“IMMEDIATELY”. Nobody really wants to play tit for tat, hopefully.
