President Biden's 81st birthday ushered in even more conversations surrounding his age and declining cognitive acuity, two things Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, believes are valid causes for concern.
"[The decline is] happening quickly," Jackson told "Sunday Morning Futures" guest anchor Sean Duffy.
"Like you said, I've taken care of three presidents… so I know firsthand what it takes to be the commander-in-chief and the head of state. It's a grueling job, both mentally and physically. This man can't do the job. He's proven to us every single day that he can't do the job, but this is going to get worse."
Jackson served as a physician under the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations and has previously sounded the alarm over Biden's cognitive acuity, even demanding he take a cognitive test or drop out of the 2024 race.

"Doctor" Jill enjoys being the Babysitter in Chief. And Joe being in the highchair is the only thing keeping that whole family out of prison.

SHE is the one I don't understand. If my husband was showing signs of dementia and was clearly cognitively in decline, there is no way in hell that I'd put him through a campaign and put him through the rigors of being POTUS. I'd want him at home being taken care of properly ... not being dragged through everything the way he is being. WHY doesn't she care more about him? It seems she doesn't.

Everyone can see this for themselves. Every person with elderly relatives can see the obvious signs of dementia.
We don't need a doctor to tell us what we've all been watching for the last 3 years.

I've been saying for quite a while now that government service should be limited to the social security age.

I think the right age is 45-65.
I have worked with local government and I noticed that people that are in their 30’s have a good heart and are energetic but some of them haven’t been punched in the neck by life enough and sometimes they are just plain stupid.
They don’t know what they don’t know. I think 45 is the sweet age, young enough, but still have experienced some stuff and has a deeper understanding of how the world and people work.
If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when you are older, you have no brain.
