Biden is the first president in history to refuse a cognitive test as part of his upcoming physical exam. U.S. Citizens have to take a cognitive test to drive, but the President doesn’t need one to run an entire country? Fast clip below…

Patti Davis, daughter of former President Reagan, said the United States should “probably” administer cognitive tests to presidential candidates. – The Hill
‘The inventor of the ‘gold standard’ in cognitive tests suggested Joe Biden should take one as the controversy surrounding the president’s mental ability continues to swirl.’ – Paul Joseph Watson
As the public continues to express concerns over the ages of political leaders, Patti Davis, the daughter of former President Ronald Reagan, has suggested that cognitive tests for presidential candidates might be a prudent measure. In a recent interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Feb. 19, Davis echoed the sentiments of a growing number of voters who are questioning the cognitive abilities of public officials.
Since we have a minimum age to be president, maybe we should have a maximum age to be a president. – Tom Hutson
Various polls indicate that a significant portion of the electorate shares these concerns. According to an Ipsos poll, 59 percent of respondents believe both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are “too old” to serve as president again. In a similar poll from November, a staggering 77 percent expressed the opinion that President Biden was too old to remain in office.
Davis, recognizing the potential impact of age on cognitive abilities, stated, “I mean, in just what we know about what age can do. It doesn’t always do that, but it would probably be a good idea.” She drew attention to her father’s age when he left office, highlighting that he was 77 at the end of his second term. Reagan, who became the oldest president ever elected at the time when he assumed office at 69, left a lasting legacy, with Davis emphasizing that he remained in control of all his mental faculties.
‘It is without question a cognitive test must be provided to Joe Biden. This isn’t politics. This isn’t personal. This is the reality. We deserve to know if he has the mental capabilities to serve as president. If not, it is incumbent upon the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amdt.’ – Congressman Byron Donalds See clip below

“That was not someone who was, you know, fractured in age. I mean, yes, I probably thought he was old because he was my father, and we think that about our parents,” Davis noted. “But, you know, not in the way that we’re talking about now.”
While addressing concerns about the age of presidential candidates, Davis also expressed her belief that her father would be dismayed by the current state of politics in the United States. She highlighted the lack of civility among elected officials, reminiscing about a time when political adversaries could share a drink together, fostering a more civilized atmosphere.

“I think he’d be appalled, really, you know? And yeah, they used to have martinis together, two, you know, old Irish guys, like, sharing a drink after,” Davis remarked. “You know, it was like two lawyers battling it out in court, and then going and having a drink together, you know? It was just more civilized.”
Davis painted a picture of her father being concerned about the divisive nature of contemporary politics and suggested that he would work tirelessly to unite people. “If he were still alive today, he would be really scared for our democracy,” she said. “I think he would address the American people at what has divided us.”

According to Davis, the divisions in society stem from fear, whether it be the fear of mass shootings or other uncertainties. She argued that fear often transforms into anger, creating an atmosphere that is not sustainable for a healthy democracy. Davis pointed out that some individuals on the political stage understand the synergy between fear and anger, exploiting it for their benefit.
“There is so much fear around, whether we’re going to get shot in a mass shooting, or our children are. Or, you know, if you walk into a store is there going to be—or a church, wherever, you know? We’re scared. And fear morphs into anger. It just does. It’s not sustainable. We don’t want to be afraid,” Davis explained.
Reagan was elected in 1980, when he was 69-years-old; by the end of his second term, in 1989, he was 77-years-old. Biden was 78 when he took office. https://t.co/sclEYjqPmi

To Sum it all up: Patti Davis advocates for cognitive tests for presidential candidates as a response to concerns about age-related cognitive decline. She also paints a vivid picture of her father’s hypothetical response to the current state of U.S. politics, emphasizing his commitment to uniting the American people and addressing the underlying fears that contribute to divisiveness.
