Former President Donald Trump stated over the weekend that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris should take a “test on cognitive stamina and agility,” making the case that she’s “slow and lethargic” when giving answers during interviews and that kind of behavior is worrisome. The 45th president called on the Democratic Party nominee, who is 59, to take a cognitive test after a medical report was released that said she has “the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
According to a report from The Daily Wire, Harris then used the medical report to launch an attack against Trump, suggesting that he is keeping his own fitness for office a secret. In other words, she just ripped off the concern and attacks from the GOP when it became clear President Joe Biden was exhibiting legitimate signs of dementia and is trying to turn them around on the former president. It’s a pretty pathetic move.
Trump wasted no time in replying to the attack, writing on his Truth Social profile, “I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her.”
“Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers,’ with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked,” Trump continued. “Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!”
In all honesty, Harris is probably low-IQ and terrible with television interviews that aren’t scripted. It’s pretty scary to imagine someone like her being in a negotiation with someone like Russian President Vladimir Putin. He’d eat her soul for breakfast. Just one of a million reasons not to vote for her.
Harris was slammed by conservatives, including Trump, for dodging questions on illegal immigration during her “60 Minutes” interview last week, an interview from which the news show still has not released the transcripts. U.S. senators and former CBS reporters have called on “60 Minutes” to release the transcripts after the news show was blasted for appearing to edit the interview with Harris in a way that helped her. The Trump campaign responded to Harris’ calls for Trump to release more medical records by pointing to a doctor’s report from last November along with “detailed reports” on Trump’s recovery following the assassination attempt on him in July.
In November of 2023, Trump released a three-paragraph letter from his doctor which stated that the former president’s “overall health is excellent,” adding that his “cognitive exams were exceptional.” Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a statement on Saturday, “President Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician, as well as detailed reports from Dr. Ronny Jackson who treated him after the first assassination attempt. All have concluded he is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief.”
“Dr. Jackson is a Republican congressman representing Texas and served as White House physician during the Obama and Trump administrations,” the report concluded.
