There was a moment in Geneva, a moment missed by most journalists, when Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin were sitting side by side, finishing up a discussion on cyber warfare. Thinking the mics had been turned off, Putin leaned into Biden and whispered, “Joe, admit it. T***p w*n the e******n.”
To which Biden nodded knowingly and replied, “I understand. I will t***smit this information to Vladimir.”
Ba-dum-chh. Making light of the American president’s mental state has been mostly fun and games to this point, but sooner or later someone’s going to get hurt.
First-term Texas Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson seems to understand this, and yesterday he penned a letter to Biden, cosigned by 13 fellow House Republicans, that urges the president to submit to a cognitive test and share the results with the American people.
Jackson, perhaps more than any other American citizen, is best suited to write such a letter. After all, he was formerly the White House physician to both Barack Obama and Donald Trump. If anyone understands the great strain and the awesome cognitive demands of the American presidency, it’s Jackson. Yesterday, in addition to sending that letter, he issued a written statement:
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 t***sparency on the mental state of their highest elected leader. I would argue that the American people don’t have that confidence in President Biden. When I was Physician to President Donald J. Trump, the liberal media relentlessly pushed a narrative that he needed a cognitive test and that it should be the standard for anyone serving as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State. I administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test and President Trump excelled. Given the precedent set and Biden’s clear mental impairment, I believe it is past time he undergoes a cognitive test.
“We write to you today,” the letter to Biden begins, “to express concern with your current cognitive state. We believe that, regardless of g****r, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the precedent set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.”
Biden’s handlers, of course, won’t allow him to submit to any such test unless his decline becomes utterly untenable. But perhaps bipartisan pressure will ultimately force their hand.
The 46th president still has 44 months left in his term, and, as we’ve written previously, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have already made some maneuvers to this end. As our Mark Alexander wrote in March:
Weeks before the e******n, Pelosi seeded the 25th Amendment legislation for Biden’s path to resign. As I noted then, “Pelosi’s target is, ostensibly, Trump. But if Biden wins, this will provide Democrats plausible deniability to remove him. Of course, he’ll be complicit in that political maneuver, and ‘acquiesce’ to House Democrats in order to cover the fact that the real candidate has been Kamala Harris all along, thus not causing protest from his supporters that the t***sition was fixed before the e******n.”
In addition, our Thomas Gallatin reported in February:
Nearly three dozen House Democrats led by Jimmy Panetta (CA) recently sent a letter to Joe Biden requesting that he give up his unilateral authority to launch the U.S. nuclear arsenal. In the letter, Panetta contends, “Vesting one person with this authority entails risks. Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment.”
Of course, Panetta’s letter didn’t mention Biden’s advanced age or his mental state, but it didn’t have to. The letter was unprecedented, and, as Gallatin noted, it “tacitly underscores fears that Biden can’t be trusted with nukes.”
Regardless of whether Democrats one day join Republicans in their concern for Biden’s cognitive decline, Jackson and his colleagues have done the nation a service by going on the record rather than merely whispering and muttering about it.

Lies, lies and more lies,, Biden unlike trump was in the presence on numbers of members of the press Russian and American any of this would have been on the world news that afternoon

Unintended Consequences

Members of his cabinet are the ones who would invoke the 25th amendment if they saw the need. I haven't heard any of them making such a claims. Trump, on the other hand, had a cabinet member calling him a moron.
psychologists claimed he was a narcissistic sociopath. That said, I do think a nuclear decision should be decided by the cabinet and military heads.

American Vet

And which psychologist examined and assessed President Trump to make that diagnosis?

Michael10

His niece, she has a doctorate in psychology, and has known him all her life. Who better to make a diagnosis

American Vet

Well, professional ethics would dictate that she cannot perform an assessment/examination since she is a relative with a vested interest in any out come.

Additionally, did she actually do an assessment/examination on him? If so, nobody has reported that.
