When Joe Biden was asked in August 2020 whether he had taken a cognitive test, the 77-year-old presidential candidate interrupted a reporter and snapped, “Why the hell would I take a test?”
Since winning the White House, Biden has continued to dismiss the need for a cognitive exam, and aides have said he has never taken one as president — not in three annual physical exams, and not in the week since a halting debate performance raised more urgent questions about the now-81-year-old’s mental acuity.
Unlike some doctors to the president, Biden’s doctor has never gone behind the WH podium and answered questions from the press about Biden’s health.
So President Joe Biden continues to REFUSE a cognitive test. OMG. In fact, he has NEVER submitted to a cognitive test.
Without a baseline assessment, how easy do you think a PD Dx might be?
He has had a neurological exam though, which explains his stiff gait and rules out Parkinson's - that was published back in February.

Page 4:
"An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year. This heat/cold sensation deficit was detected a couple inches higher on his ankle/calf this year which is not unexpected. There may. in fact be day to day subjective variation of these findings, as during last year's exam this area of sensation deficit was actually found to be smaller than the year before."
"A combination of significant spinal arthritis, post-fracture foot arthritis and a sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet are the explanation for the subtle gait changes which I was investigating. This assessment is unchanged."
"The President did note some increased left hip discomfort with activity recently. Clinical exam was normal except for decreased range of motion. Radiographs reveal mild arthritic changes. This is most certainly also contributing to his stiffened gait. No additional treatment is warranted other than his ongoing physical therapy.
So there you have it. Parkinson's ruled out, stiff gait and sneakers due to arthritis and neuropathy in his feet. No tremors or any other signs of neurological issues beyond that.
And yet we have a Parkinson’s specialist meeting with Biden’s personal doctor in the White House. A personal doctor who has one patient, the president, not many patients.
How incredibly stupid or willfully blind must someone be to believe anything coming out of the Biden Administration?
Biden’s doctor has turned down every interview request from the press, and has never stood behind the WH podium and taken questions from reporters.

Yes, you can. Because only one nominee has a history of idolizing authoritarian policy and using authoritarian rhetoric. Only one nominee has praised our enemies and openly admits to admiring dictators like Putin and Kim Jung Un. A man in a coma with a good cabinet beats a dictator wannabe with loyalists EVERY day.
+1 +1 +1
This is the only thing that needs to be said. Trump can not be allowed to be near the Oval Office and is far more dangerous than Biden at 50% capacity.
You don't elect a single politician, you elect an administration.
How many scandals have we had in Biden's administration?
How many scandals/firings/tell-all books/indictments/convictions/jury awards/prison terms have we had during and following the Trump fiasco playing POTUS?
Compare the two, and get back to me.
My vote: Biden's administration. I'll vote for Biden if he's in a coma. His administration will run the country extremely well.
Administration members come and go; the elected president stays in power for the duration of the elected term.
Not in this administration. As trump correctly pointed out, Biden has fired no one despite their incompetence.
+1 that’s because they don’t need to be competent.
Remember when Lloyd Austin went missing and nobody knew or cared in the Biden administration?
Curious, isn’t it?

Right. Because every time Trump heard a report he didn’t like it was “fake news”.
Have you heard a trump- hannity interview? It’s almost as if trump wrote interview himself

You are deliberately spreading Russian disinformation. You must be a Russian asset.
