Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Friday pressed the White House physician for a full evaluation of President Trump’s cognitive abilities.
In a letter to Sean Barbabella, a Navy captain serving as Trump’s official doctor, Raskin argued that Trump’s words and actions in recent months — particularly those surrounding the Iran war — have raised enough questions about the president’s mental acuity to merit a “comprehensive cognitive assessment.” Raskin wants the results shared publicly.
“Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline. And, in recent days, the country has watched President Trump’s public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening,” wrote Raskin, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
“His apparently deteriorating condition has caused tremendous alarm across the nation (and political spectrum) about the President’s cognitive function and continuing mental fitness for the office of President, and prompted concerns about the President’s wellbeing.”
Trump rose to the White House a decade ago largely by creating a political brand that shunned convention and an impulsive communication style — revolving around social media posts delivered at all hours of the day and night — that was unprecedented. Some of those messages dabbled in racist and antisemitic themes. Still, his unorthodox approach appealed to voters disenchanted with the status quo in Washington, and it was rewarded with two presidential victories.
How ironic, the last President kept a blank stare and had no clue where he was; yet, they want an assessment of this one.
LOL ! If he thinks Trump is on the decline then he needs his own head checked.
A cognitive assessment needs to be done on this bastard raskin along with every democrat in Washington.
jamie raskin needs to be evaluated like most democrats
Raskin needs one for himself.
Which experts? What did they say?
Ruskin is such a tool!
