Trump demands Biden 'must take a cognitive test'

WASHINGTON, Mar 01 (AFP): Donald Trump called Thursday for President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test, slamming the Democrat almost certain to be his opponent in November's US election for his "terrible decisions."

Trump regularly boasts about his performance on a simple exam meant to detect dementia, sparking ridicule from critics, but multiple missteps by both men have raised concerns over their advanced years and mental acuity.

"Crooked Joe Biden must take a Cognitive Test. Maybe that way we would be able to find out why he makes such terrible decisions," the 77-year-old posted on Truth Social.

"I took two of them, and ACED them both (no mistakes!). All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test!"

Biden, 81, underwent an annual physical Wednesday and was declared "fit for duty" by doctors who said there were no notable changes in his health over the past year.
