Trump Asks Biden To Take Cognitive Test
Former President Donald Trump is challenging 81-year-old President Joe Biden to a cognitive exam. Hours after the president’s doctor said that he was “fit to serve” having conducted his annual physical exam on Wednesday, Trump doubted Biden’s fitness to serve another four years and asked for a cognitive exam.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Crooked Joe Biden must take a Cognitive Test. Maybe that way we would be able to find out why he makes such terrible decisions. I took two of them, and ACED them both (no mistakes!). All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test!”
White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor determined that there were “no new concerns” found during Biden’s physical and claimed that the commander-in-chief is “healthy, active and robust.”
Biden, however, did not take a cognitive test despite concerns over his mental state which grew after Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents which pointed out lapses in his memory and said that he would come off to a jury as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Biden and his White House have ignored the concerns, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claiming that he does not need a cognitive test and that he “passes a cognitive test every day” in his job of leading the country.
“The president doesn’t need a cognitive test. That is not my assessment. That is not my assessment. That is the assessment of the president’s doctor. That is also the assessment of the neurologist who has also made that assessment as well,” she stated.
“The president, who is also the commander-in-chief — he passes a cognitive test every day — every day, as he moves from one topic to another topic, trying — understanding the granular level of these topics. You saw him talk about fighting crime today. Tomorrow, he’s going to go to the border. Next week, he’s going to give a State of the Union address,” the press secretary added.
KJP: “The president doesn’t need a cognitive test.”
Meanwhile, Joe Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory” who didn’t know when he was VP.

Biden himself will not admit he has a problem as he hopes to remain an additional four years in office. When asked about the concerns regarding his age during a Tuesday appearance on “Late Night with Seth Myers,” he found a way to make the conversation about Trump.
“You gotta take a look at the other guy. He’s about as old as I am, but he can’t even remember his wife’s name. It’s about how old your ideas are. [Trump] is a guy who wants to take us back. He wants to take us back on Roe v. Wade, he wants to take us back on a whole range of issues that [for] 50, 60 years, they’ve been solid American positions,” he said.
