38 Republican congressmen called on US President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test. They questioned the mental health of the American leader and his suitability for work in his position. This is the second time the head of the United States has been asked to test his intelligence.

“Something Wrong” with Biden

“My colleagues and I again ask President Biden to immediately take a formal cognitive screening exam such as the Montreal Cognitive Test. As a former physician to three presidents of the United States, I know what it takes mentally and physically to carry out the duties of commander in chief and head of state,” former White House physician, Rep. Ronnie Jackson told Fox News.

According to him, Biden constantly proved to him and the whole world that “something was wrong.” According to the congressman, "the American people deserve absolute confidence in the cognitive abilities of their president."

Jackson noted that Biden's passing "a cognitive test would be an important first step" to convince Americans that the president is right for the job. He also admitted that the test would reveal disorders, so they would have to deal with their "proper treatment." The congressman suggested that the US leader could be diagnosed with "Alzheimer's disease, vascular disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis."

“This is not a partisan issue. When I discussed taking the cognitive test with President Trump, he sought to reassure the American people and put an end to fake news. Why doesn't President Biden do the same?"

— said the former doctor of the White House.

“We can only assume the worst if he does not comply with the same standards that his own party demanded from the last administration,” he added.

"Decrease in mental abilities"

According to the information of the American TV channel, recent polls have shown that Americans are not sure about the mental fitness of the president for office. That is why 38 congressmen published a letter in which they called on the 79-year-old Biden to take a cognitive test, as his predecessor Donald Trump did at the time.

“Regardless of gender, age, or political party, all presidents should follow the example of former President Trump in documenting and demonstrating sound mental capacity,” the lawmakers said in the letter.

"While you were undergoing your annual medical examination on November 19, 2021, you either did not encounter a cognitive test, or these results were hidden from the public," congressmen say.

They noted that "The Alzheimer's Association lists 'mood and personality changes', including more 'slightly upset', as one of ten signs of mental decline."

“You showed such a change of heart during the January 24, 2022 cabinet meeting, when you were apparently unaware that your microphone was on after you finished your opening remarks and called a White House reporter a “stupid son of a bitch” … in response to a question he asked about inflation,” the politicians said in a statement.

The lawmakers also pointed to Biden's stumble when he tried to say how many Americans got booster shots for COVID-19 and wrote that gaffes are "not just a recent trend."

Congressmen stated that "the decline in mental abilities and forgetfulness of the president have become more evident over the past two years."

Awkward champion

Biden is the oldest sitting US president in the history of the country. A politician regularly gets into awkward situations because of his reservations. So, before the election, he said that African Americans who support Trump are not real blacks.

And for some reason he often calls Vice President Kamala Harris the President of the United States. He also confused former United States leaders Barack Obama and Donald Trump. He explained his oversight with a "Freudian slip." He once promised $100,000 to Americans who would get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Which was not true.

Some phrases and words are difficult for Biden to pronounce. So it was with the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin. One day, the US leader accidentally called the United States military an obscene word. Sometimes he forgets his acquaintances, sleeps at events. He was even nicknamed "sleepy Joe" in the country.

“Biden is a professional”

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has a different opinion. On June 16, 2021, he personally met with the American leader in Geneva. The heads of state then held talks. The next day, Putin said that the image of Biden presented by the press had nothing to do with reality.According to the Russian president, Biden is a professional who is "completely in the material" and does not miss anything. Putin also noted that, despite the long trip and jet lag, Biden "looked cheerful."

“We talked to him face for two, maybe a little more, hours. He (Biden -) is completely in the material, from time he looked into his notes - we all do this, ”RT President of the Russian Federation quotes.

“And the image that is drawn, it may even dampen the spirits a little, but there is nothing to dampen the spirits here, Biden is a professional, and you need to work very carefully with him so as not to miss something. He himself does not miss anything, I assure you, it was completely obvious to me,

Putin stressed.

He suggested that the fact that Biden "confused things sometimes" is due to the fact that when "people think that some things are secondary, they don't really fix their attention on it."

“So there is nothing out of the ordinary here. I repeat once again: he is collected, understands what he wants to achieve, and does it very skillfully, it is immediately felt. But at the same time, the atmosphere was quite friendly, and, it seems to me, we were able to understand each other, understand our positions on key issues, ”Putin concluded.
