Considering he actually said today on his truth social profile that he doesn't want to debate.....
So ya I guess you think what he said is ridiculous.
Not what I said.
I find it odd that such hardcore Trump lovers you guys don't pay much attention to what he says.
Well that's on you

I think he said that since he knows there's no one going to be debating and didn't want to look out of place.

Demands!?

That’s funny.

Remember during the 2016 election, y’all were sure Hillary was on her deathbed. You thought Chelsea Clinton’s apartment was a makeshift hospital for her. DC cowboy went as far as getting the phone number and was going to call, remember that? The good old days, wasn’t it?

😂

I’d drop the dementia bit considering the idiot. You’re never gonna win that game.

Sure it's the first political salvo, in the 2024 race so take it with a bag of salt, as it ain't gonna happen but...

Here's my thing I think all candidates need to take a cognitive test, a psychology test, a Constitution test, the same test immigrants have to take for citizenship, whatever testing anybody can determine or indicates thier ability to be an effective President. Wouldn't it be nice to have as much information? If we really want to select the best President. No doubt there is a mega block of voters that just vote for the status quo, eschewing the devil they don't know, for the devil they do.

Pretty sure a few tests might have made Nixon less of a factor in our history. Besides, I felt the same way during Reagan's 2nd Term.

Ex-White House doctor Ronny Jackson demands Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of 2024 race.

www.independent.co.uk...
Biden’s criticism of 63-year-old opponent’s age resurfaces as he launches 2024 bid at 80

Add Senate candidate Joe Biden to the list of people whose comments could be a problem for President Joe Biden as he seeks a second term in the White House.

The 80-year-old Mr Biden is mounting a historic re-election bid that would, if successful, see him once again become the oldest person to ever take a presidential oath of office, beating the record he previously set in 2021.

But as a new investigation from CNN’s KFile unit revealed on Tuesday, the president once attacked a political opponent quite explicitly with the same angle that Mr Biden’s detractors, particularly those in the GOP, both used in 2020 and likely will again in 2024: His age, and mental fortitude.

The comments were made during Mr Biden’s successful 1972 run against then-Senator Cale Boggs; Mr Boggs, just 63 years old at the time, was at the time expected to win his re-election bid easily but narrowly fell to the 29-year-old Mr Biden when the votes came in.

“Cale doesn’t want to run, he’s lost that old twinkle in his eye he used to have,” Mr Biden said during one campaign appearance dug up by CNN.

His ads were similarly focused on the subject of his opponent being out of touch due to advanced age, according to CNN: “In Cale Boggs’ day when Stalin ruled, Americans had visions of the Russian soldiers in our streets. In Joe Biden’s day, Americans have visions of American criminals in our streets. Joe Biden, he understands what’s happening today.”

Ex-White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tx.), is demanding that President Joe Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of his newly announced 2024 race altogether.

Jackson, who was a White House physician during both the Trump and Obama administrations, added that the “American people deserve complete transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader.”

Jackson, who has repeatedly questioned whether the 80-year-old president has the cognitive ability to be commander-in-chief, renewed calls for a mental evaluation as Biden announced Tuesday he was seeking re-election.

The Republican made the demands in a letter, obtained by The Post, which is currently being circulated among House Republicans in a bid to garner support before it is sent to Biden.

“We call on you to either resign immediately and renounce your bid for reelection or submit to a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make those results available to the public,” the letter, which is addressed to Biden, says.

In the letter, Jackson insisted a cognitive test was required given Biden’s age, his various public gaffes and recent polls that show Americans are concerned about his mental function.

“When you first announced your bid to run in the 2020 presidential election, questions and concerns were raised surrounding your cognitive abilities,” the letter says.

“Those concerns have only increased because your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent since you were elected.”

Should Not the American Registered Voters have a SAY About that other than just " Some " Doctor ? Hey , you don't Buy a Car if it does Not WORK Correctly , Right ? I Wanna See Joe's CAR FAX Right Now !

Well this is the first I am hearing of this.
I believe 2012 was the last time they called off debates while big O was running for his 2nd term.
Well either Trump again doesn't want to debate.
Go figure it's because people say mean things about him and he has thin skin.

Has nothing to do with Trump. Biden will not debate any of his primary opponents. Spin that.

Jeez people, this ain't about the debates or Trump or it doesn't matter because it's rigged etc. Stay on point

I already said it's not likely to happen, FWIW there are loads of threads on here that aren't likely to happen

It's not even about the Doctor, just used it to introduce the question, ergo it's about the question.

Should a President be subject to tests like numerous other jobs require, Pretty sure pilots have cognitive tests...for example

www.eeoc.gov...

Employers often use tests and other selection procedures to screen applicants for hire and employees for promotion. There are many different types of tests and selection procedures, including cognitive tests, personality tests, medical examinations, credit checks, and criminal background checks.

The use of tests and other selection procedures can be a very effective means of determining which applicants or employees are most qualified for a particular job. However, use of these tools can violate the federal anti-discrimination laws if an employer intentionally uses them to discriminate based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or age (40 or older). Use of tests and other selection procedures can also violate the federal anti-discrimination laws if they disproportionately exclude people in a particular group by race, sex, or another covered basis, unless the employer can justify the test or procedure under the law.

YES , and the Biggest Reason to Insist on that as American Citizens is the FACT That the U.S. Government is STILL SUBJECT to the American Peoples WILL Contrary to what some of you heard from Our Alleged Elected Officials . That is Also Especially the Case Concerning the POTUS Access to the " Nuclear Football " .

Wow

Well either Trump again doesn't want to debate.

Really?
Orange Cheeto cotton candy hair doesn’t want free publicity?
Really?
That is about the most ridiculous thing I have read here today.
Huzzah!!

a reply to: putnam6

Well yes, of course the POTUS as far as i know has
been willing to take a test.

Trump was transparent about his Dr. report on his health.

The BIG problem with Joe is he is the oldest candidate
ever and is demonstrating behavior in keeping with
Dementia. But he refuses to take a cognitive test!

We all know why!

They literally had to take the top of Joe Biden's head off

I had two cranial aneurysms, and they literally had to take the top of my head off. I mean, they take a saw and they cut your head off

That’s a pretty fair assessment. It’s obvious Joe has some mental issues going on. I’d like to know who doesn’t think there is an issue. They may need to get checked out.

a reply to: putnam6

a Constitution test, the same test immigrants have to take for citizenship,

Forget the rest , no way in Hades could Biden pass that one.
He would say "doc , I don't know if I can swallow it first"
Peace out with a little Jerry Clower ...

Yes there will be DNC debates.
Probably not any republican debates though.
Trump today even said he doesn't want to participate in any debate

.

The DNC will not be having any debates; they are backing Biden 100%
Trump has said he won't participate in the RNC primaries.
I haven't heard that either Trump or Biden refuse to debate each other should they be the two candidates.
Biden did announce today that he will not be campaigning; he's going to focus on ruining the country. Oops; I mean 'ruining' the country.
He let others do all the campaigning for him last time, so I can't say I'm surprised.

70% of Democrats don't want Biden to run; 61% of republicans don't want Trump to run. I don't think anybody is paying attention to the voices of the people.

Dang spell check! 'ruining'. I give up.

a reply to: Tellurian

We need to remind people of that. Joe is just mentally
challenged in every way possible.

Its too bad they couldn't have fixed the hair sniffing
thing while they had his top off.

I think Biden should agree to take a cognitive test if Ronnie Jackson agrees to take a drug test.

2 things pretty sure Doctor Jackson would pass a drug and cognitive test with flying colors unless you believe he is now too old to pass the cognitive test. This leads to questions about both the favored candidates, honestly. I definitely want DJT to take one too.

For the record like I said let every candidate take the cognitive test any and every test imaginable.

a reply to: CriticalStinker
Thanks!
I edited my response to the other member as his description lacked.

BTW
After it was shown mr trumps opponents in debates were provided the questions in advance, why would he again participate in that network’s debate?
Would you?

Mr Jackson needs a drug test because?
You understand his expertise as he was the White House physician for 2 administrations?
One dem one gop?
What would you look for on mr Jackson’s drug test?
You understand some results you probably don’t like are legal in his state?
