How bad are President Joe Bidenās diminishing cognitive returns? One prominent psychiatrist said she wouldnāt trust him to pass a basic mental evaluation.
In an interview on āReal Americaās Voiceā last week, Dr. Carole Lieberman ā who has appeared on Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, Fox News, CNN and many other venues, according to her website ā said voters shouldnāt simply focus on the fact Biden is an octogenarian.
Lieberman said there is ātalk about Biden being too old to run, which isnāt really the case.ā
āItās not about his being too old,ā she said. āThere are people a lot older who have their marbles and are very intelligent and know history and are able to know how to put this country in a good direction.
āSo itās not age. ⦠Itās about his competency,ā Lieberman continued. āIf he took the test that I was offering him ā this mini-mental status test, or some other kind of test of competency ā thereās no way he would pass.ā
She even said Biden wouldnāt be able to answer the question, āWho is the president of the United States?ā
As for the test Lieberman was referring to, the mini-mental state exam is āan 11-question measure that tests five areas of cognitive function: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language,ā according to the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing.

Now, as for why Lieberman doesnāt believe that Biden could pass the MMSE or a similar test ā well, letās work backwards, shall we?
Naturally, Biden isnāt going to submit to any kind of mental evaluation and his administration is going to keep covering for him ā doctoring official White House transcripts, ushering him away from reporters, ending news conferences early, those sorts of things.
And yet liberals will bring up Donald Trumpās age and mental fitness. After seeing Biden in action for this many years, however, the country can see that itās not the number that counts. Itās how with it the person is.
Lieberman is right: With Biden, you might actually have to wait for him to remember who the president is. By the time he comes up with a response, one can only hope the answer has changed.
