Former President Donald Trump has called on Vice President Kamala Harris to undergo a cognitive evaluation, stating that her recent statements and behavior raise concerns about her mental fitness. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need for Harris to demonstrate her cognitive capabilities, referring to her recent responses in a “60 Minutes” interview as “totally bonkers.”
Trump’s comments come after CBS News edited Harris’s interview, replacing one of her answers that many viewed as confusing. “Even the esteemed ‘60 Minutes’ had to step in to protect her by editing out her incoherent response,” Trump stated, arguing that such actions are indicative of deeper issues. He added, “Her slow and lethargic answers to simple questions remind us of the past four years. We should not have to endure that again.”
The former president’s criticism of Harris follows her recent release of a medical report affirming her “excellent health” and mental resiliency. Dr. Joshua Simmons, Harris’s physician, stated in a letter that she is physically fit to handle the demands of the presidency. However, Trump remains unconvinced and believes her track record as “Border Czar” reflects poorly on her leadership capabilities.
In another Truth Social post, Trump declared, “No one who has contributed to the violence and chaos at our borders should ever be considered fit to lead this nation.” He strongly criticized Harris for her handling of the border crisis, stating that her actions have allowed criminal elements to infiltrate the country. “Kamala’s reign of terror will end the day I take office,” he asserted, reiterating his commitment to securing the border and restoring order.
As Trump continues to position himself as the candidate of choice for Republicans, he underscores the importance of mental acuity and strong leadership—traits he believes Harris lacks. In a landscape where leadership and clarity are paramount, Trump aims to rally support by questioning the competence of his Democratic rivals and reinforcing his vision for a safer, more secure America.
