As the weekend draws near, U.S. President, Joe Biden grapples with the unsettling details of the Hur report, addressing his alarming frequency of memory lapses. “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with deficient memory,” states special counsel Robert Hur in the particularly damning report.

Among the prominent politicians discussing this topic candidly is Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who held esteemed positions as physician to three previous presidents – George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Over time and through observation both close and afar, Jackson has frequently voiced his concerns about what seems like a progressive cognitive decline in the 81-year-old president.

In reflecting on Biden’s mental health alongside his growing age and diminishing memory capabilities – aspects that have strained his professional ties – Jackson concluded in late 2023: “It’s a grueling job both mentally and physically; this man can’t do it.” He continued stating that performing such demanding duties would progressively worsen Biden’s condition.

Jackson further expanded on these opinions after revelations within the Hur report highlighted that Biden was unable to recall significant personal events accurately – including when he served as Vice President and even the date of his son Beau Biden’s tragic demise. In response to these findings, Jackson firmly believed that if someone isn’t competent enough to stand trial due to cognitive issues they shouldn’t be serving as Commander-in-Chief.

These concerns seem magnified globally with allies expressing worry over their weakened support system while foes eagerly anticipate exploiting these inherent vulnerabilities arising from an incapacitated leadership.

Preceding an expected nomination for Joe Biden at the next Democratic National Convention scheduled in summer, Jackson has publicly advised conducting mandatory mental competence tests for potential presidential candidates before votes are cast during elections — An opinion resonating among other Congressional Republicans including Sen Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).

Jackson, backed by several other Republicans, is pushing for invoking the 25th Amendment citing Biden’s ongoing cognitive decline. Critics may argue that Jackson is biased due to his endorsement of Trump’s bid for presidency but these perceived steps backward in handling executive tasks and leadership are becoming alarmingly evident.

However, Kamala Harris, Vice President and others at the White House have dismissed these reports as partisan jargon, Americans observe President Biden’s public presence and can gauge his command over speech, comportment and general ability to execute daily duties efficiently — all indicators that unravel a stark reality.

These discomforting discussions around Biden’s health warrant attention given his potent role as leader of the free world. The logical inference here would be if someone isn’t fit enough to stand trial; their competency running another term in the Oval office should also be questioned. These concerns evoke stronger conversations around mental fitness standards necessary for functioning effectively in such demanding political roles which continue to hold public attention and will feature in trusted news platforms with a Christian worldview for fair evaluation.
