Leading Democrat Challenges Trump to Prove Cognitive Health with Dementia Test

One of the most prominent Democrats in Congress has written to the White House doctor demanding Donald Trump take a cognitive test.

Concerns about the President’s mental acuity have been mounting, with experts repeatedly cautioning that he may be showing signs of cognitive decline and potential dementia, a point underscored by recent public behavior.

In the past few days, the President’s statements have become increasingly difficult to follow, marked by volatility, profanity, and even threats. This shift has sparked widespread concern across the nation and among various political factions regarding his mental fitness to continue leading the country.

In response to these growing apprehensions, Raskin has called for a thorough cognitive assessment, urging that the findings be disclosed to Congress to address the issue transparently.

The urgency of the situation was highlighted by a particularly alarming outburst, in which the President reportedly exclaimed, “Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!” Such remarks only add to the anxiety about his current state of mind.

“”Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!” he wrote.

Raskin also mentioned the apparent difficulty Trump had in descending the White House steps that day.

Biden, like Trump, faced numerous questions about his mental faculty in office. Trump is now the same age Biden was at this point of his presidency.

A White House spokesperson issued a statement to Courthouse News criticising Raskin.

“Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” the spokesperson said. 

“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the past four years when Democrats like Raskin intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people.”

The 25th Amendment would require the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to determine the president is not able to do his job.

Congress would then have 48 hours to vote in support. It would take a two-thirds vote in both chambers to remove Trump.

“How do we 25th Amendment his ass?” Jones said.

“Trump literally sounds like an unhinged super villain from a Marvel comic movie.”

Trump has taken several cognitive tests in the past year, and has frequently bragged of the results.

Those tests are normally conducted in order to determine if a person has dementia.

Raskin is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and rose to public prominence during Trump’s second impeachment trial as well as the investigation into the January 6 insurrection.
