Donald Trump Calls for Kamala Harris to Undergo Cognitive Testing

Trump Calls for Harris to Take Cognitive Test Amid Controversial Interview Fallout

In a bold move that has stirred the political pot, former President Donald Trump is demanding that Vice President Kamala Harris undergo a cognitive test. Trump, who is gearing up for a potential rematch in the 2024 presidential race, took to Truth Social on Monday to express his concerns about Harris’s mental acuity, labeling her recent responses in a “60 Minutes” interview as “totally bonkers.”

The 78-year-old Republican candidate didn’t hold back, stating, “I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility.” He went on to suggest that her answers during the interview raised red flags about her capability to serve as president. “Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her,” he added, amplifying his call for scrutiny.

Trump’s comments come on the heels of a controversial segment from Harris’s recent interview, which CBS News edited to remove what many described as a confusing and rambling response. Trump seized on this, accusing the network of trying to protect Harris by replacing her original answer with something unrelated to the question posed. “Even ’60 Minutes’ and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given,” he claimed.

The former president didn’t stop there. He criticized Harris for being “slow and lethargic” in her responses, echoing sentiments he expressed during his presidency about President Biden’s mental fitness. “We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!” Trump exclaimed, clearly positioning himself as the candidate of vigor and clarity.

Interestingly, Harris, 59, recently released a medical report from her White House doctor, which stated that she is in “excellent health” and possesses the necessary physical and mental resilience to fulfill presidential duties. The report, which was made public just days before Trump’s demands, noted that Harris maintains a healthy lifestyle and that her last physical was “unremarkable.”

In contrast, Trump has been less forthcoming about his own health since surviving an assassination attempt in July, where he was grazed by a bullet. His campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, insisted that Trump has released updates from his personal physician, asserting that all reports conclude he is in “perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief.”

As the political landscape heats up, Trump’s calls for Harris to take a cognitive test are not just about health; they are part of a broader narrative he is crafting about her leadership capabilities. Just days before his Truth Social post, Trump declared that Harris should not be allowed to run the country due to the “violence and terror” he claims she has permitted amid the ongoing border crisis. “No person who has inflicted the violence and terror that Border Czar Harris has unleashed on our Country can EVER be allowed to become the President of the United States,” he stated emphatically.

As the 2024 election approaches, both candidates are likely to ramp up their rhetoric and scrutiny of each other. With Trump’s latest demands, the spotlight is firmly on Harris, and how she responds could shape the narrative as voters head to the polls. Whether or not she takes the cognitive test remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the battle for the presidency is heating up, and both sides are gearing up for a fierce fight.
