When former President Donald Trump quipped the President Joe Biden should take a cognitive test, he probably didn’t expect to make a case for himself to take the test in his next sentence.
But that is what Trump did at an event in Detroit Saturday.
After suggesting Biden “should have to take a cognitive test,” he confused the name of the White House physician who gave him the test — calling him “Ronny Johnson” instead of “Ronny Jackson,” the Associated Pressreported.
Trump, who was speaking at a convention of Turning Point Action in Detroit, questioned Biden’s Mental acuity, which is something the presumptive GOP presidential nominee does.
“He doesn’t even know what the word ‘inflation’ means. I think he should take a cognitive test like I did,” Trump said.
He continued his speech, saying, “Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately.”
Jackson, who was elected to Congress in 2021, is a staunch Trump supporter.
Trump’s criticism of the 81-year-old Biden’s age has been a keep part of his campaign message.
Trump, himself, turned 78 Friday.
