President Joe Biden’s annual doctor’s physical is coming up soon, but it won’t include a cognitive test for the 81-year-old democrat seeking a second term.
https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-nation/2024/02/13/biden-cognitive-test-physical-exam/stories/202402130082 Hasn’t the personal physician of each president held a press conference to answer questions from the press after their annual physical? Has this doctor done so? |

| Absolutely the doctor usually briefs the press and takes questions after presidential physicals. We will see if Biden’s physician takes questions from the press after his physical. |

They know they cannot have him take a cognitive function test. They’ve known for a long time. |

How can Biden not taking a cognitive test be justified?
Shouldn’t his doctor take questions? |

Me too. But I don’t think it’s all that hard to manage this better. This WH is a disaster. |

I wonder if his doctor has an actual conscience and professional ethics, and will refuse to lie or change results if an actual test is taken by Biden? If he doesn’t administer a cognitive test, he can technically say Biden seems fine because he can “function.”

How would they manage this better? Have Biden take a test and force the doctor to lie about the results? |

Basically an admission Biden would fail the test. Sort of like getting a DUI, if the cops stop you for suspected DUI and you refuse to take the tests. |

| If Biden has nothing to hide, why wouldn't he take the test? If it were Trump, you'd be frothing at mouth till he agreed to do so. |

Biden's cognitive decline was already evident four years ago. It's worsened since then, as cognitive declines always do.
What's funny is watching something that was blatantly obvious for so long but strenuously denied as a right wing disinformation turn out to be, well, shock, true. Like everything else accused of being right wing disinformation. No one why no one trusts anything said by the media or the establishment. |

Since his stumble in June, he has been wearing tennis shoes more often to avoid slipping — and using the short stairs on Air Force One, entering the plane on a lower deck than before.
Why it matters: Democrats, including some in the administration, are terrified that Biden will have a bad fall — with a nightmare scenario of it happening in the weeks before the November 2024 election.” https://www.axios.com/2023/09/26/biden-trip-2024-campaign-sneakers [img]
