Dr. Phil: Biden should take cognitive test to prove he has ‘nothing to hide’

Former daytime TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw proves President Biden has ‘nothing to hide’ as questions about incumbent’s age and mental acuity emerge amid re-election campaign He said that he believes that cognitive function tests should be carried out in order to

When asked by host Bill Maher if Biden should get tested, McGraw replied, “Why not?”

“People who have nothing to hide hide nothing. So why not?” he answered during a panel interview on Friday night’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Highlighted by Mediaite.

At 81 years old, Biden is the oldest sitting president in U.S. history. Former President Trump, who is likely to be the Republican nominee, has also faced some scrutiny due to his age, but he is 77 years old.

A new poll shows 86% of Americans think Mr. Biden is too old to serve as president, and 56% think both Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump are too old.

These concerns come after Special Counsel Robert Hur described the president as an “elderly man with a poor memory” in a recent report examining classified documents discovered in the former vice president’s office and his parents’ home in Delaware. It got even worse.

Biden angrily defended himself, his memory and his age at a news conference after the report was released. He cursed and claimed his memory was fine, but later mistakenly referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as “the president of Mexico.”

Despite the accident, the president’s doctor released the results of a medical exam last week, which determined that cognitive tests were not necessary. Trump called on Biden to make a decision, saying the outcome would prove “why he makes these terrible decisions.”

President Trump said all presidents and presidential candidates should be required to take cognitive tests. He has also long boasted of passing tests designed to detect early signs of cognitive decline and dementia.

Mr. Biden’s team and Congressional Democrats maintain that Mr. Biden is capable of doing his job and has no problem dealing with complex issues such as the respective wars in Ukraine and Gaza and the southern border. .
