Rep. Ronny Jackson — Trump's controversial ex-doctor — calls for Biden cognitive test

Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas — former President Donald Trump’s controversial ex-doctor — sent a letter to President Biden on Thursday demanding that he take a cognitive test and make the results public.

“The American people should have absolute confidence in their President,” Jackson wrote in the letter, which was co-signed by 13 other GOP lawmakers. “They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties of Head of State and Commander in Chief. They deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader. To achieve this, we urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We implore you to then publish the test results, so the American people know the full mental and intellectual health of their President.”

In 2018, Jackson, the attending White House physician at the time, announced that Trump had requested and aced a cognitive test during a physical examination to disprove claims that his mental health was deteriorating.

Just today, in a waiting room Biden's appearance when he was returning from overseas. He misspoke at one point, a simple of mistake anyone (and most likely have) could make and went immediately back to speaking flawlessly and answering question intelligently.

But it set off endless scoffing, chuckling and comments on his encroaching 'senility' among a group of older white people that were watching. They'd been talking vaccine conspiracy's earlier, loudly.

Biden’s sharp mental edge was just on display for the WORLD literally. No one including Putin seemed to think anything was wrong.

President Biden has a stutter...his words are sometimes not as clear as even he would like. Has nothing to do with cognitive ability. If anything, stutterers are usually higher IQ. The speed and f their thoughts and what comes out is not always an absolute match

Jackson is a fraud that drinks to access, uses sleeping medicine on top of lots of booze, and who knows what else .....and makes inappropriate sexual advances towards much younger women.

They just aren’t having any luck shutting our President down, so they continue to trot out more and more despicable lies.

President Biden per usual ignores their bullshit..and they move on to the next lie

After his press conferences about Trump's health it was clear you wouldn't want to get within a mile of the guy for medical care.

about Jackson's conduct, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (OIG) opened an investigation. The investigation stalled from October 2018 to August 2019 because the Trump White House Counsel's Office objected to the investigation and considered invoking executive privilege, but ultimately did not.

OIG investigators interviewed Jackson and 78 witnesses. The OIG found that its interview of Jackson "was limited in scope and unproductive" because lawyers in the Trump White House Counsel's office insisted upon participating in the interview and "instructed Jackson not to answer any questions concerning events after his appointment as the Physician to the President in July 2013."[21] The OIG report was issued in March 2021...."

It seems like the main effort of the former guy's administration was to cover up wrongdoing - they didn't do much of anything else. Thanks!

11. "Dr. Feel Good"....
Sat Jun 19, 2021, 06:36 AM

was what everyone in the Trump White House mockingly called him behind his back, because of his penchant for writing prescriptions for anyone who asked.

Why don't we have "Dr. Feel Good" subject himself to the same bloodwork panel for alcohol, prescription drugs and "street drugs" that I have to take every three months to get my Methadone prescription for my chronic back problems.

In 22 years I've never shown a trace of anything that wasn't supposed to be there. I somehow doubt Ronny Jackson could do the same.
