Trump Suggests He And Biden Take A Cognitive Test ‘Together, Like A Team’

 Former President Donald Trump said during a radio hit on Friday that he would be willing to take a cognitive test alongside President Joe Biden to let voters see the mental state of each presidential candidate.

Trump, 78, made the suggestion during an appearance on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” as Biden, 81, faces pressure from within his own party to step aside and allow for another candidate to run as the Democratic Party’s nominee.

“I am cognitively great, perfect,” Trump said. “And I’ve had tests … I just did a physical, by the way, and it came out perfectly. We’ll announce those numbers soon.”

“I suggest that we go in together and do a cognitive test,” Trump added, referring to Biden. “We’ll do it together, like a team.”

The presumptive GOP nominee was also asked if he would do the cognitive test with Biden “on television.”

“I would do whatever they want,” Trump replied. “I’d do the test, I’d do a mental acuity test with him. I would do whatever would be appropriate.”

Trump added that he knows people “much older” than Biden who are still healthy, saying that the president is “unusual in a way.”

During the CNN debate between Trump and Biden on June 27, Biden made several gaffes and struggled to answer the moderators’ questions throughout the night. At one point in the debate, Trump responded to one of Biden’s answers, saying, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”

Trump said earlier this month that Biden’s “mind and memory [are] completely shot,” adding that following the debate, “there is a BIG GAP for Crooked Joe to make up.”

The debate set off a panic among many on the Left and in the Democratic Party who questioned if Biden could go on as the party’s nominee. An interview a week later between the president and ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos did little to calm Democrats’ fears about Biden’s cognitive ability to run a campaign against Trump and potentially serve until 2029.

In January, Biden met with White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor and neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard, an examination brought back into the spotlight earlier this week when White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre corrected a previous false statement about Biden’s check-up. The president also told Democratic governors in a private call that he was checked by a doctor following his debate against Trump, contradicting a previous statement made by Jean-Pierre.
