Representative Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor for Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, expressed concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, emphasizing that it’s deteriorating rapidly. During an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” the Texas Republican highlighted the demanding nature of the presidency, both mentally and physically.
According to Newsmax, Jackson, who served during the George W. Bush administration as well, refrained from making a formal diagnosis but pointed to Biden’s actions, suggesting cognitive issues related to age. Comparing Biden’s current state to observations made two to three years ago, Jackson remarked on the notable decline, expressing worry about the president’s ability to handle the responsibilities of the office.
The discussion extended beyond Biden’s cognitive health to address broader issues. Jackson cited concerns about the southern border crisis, international conflicts, and a perceived lack of leadership. Drawing a comparison to Donald Trump’s tenure, he argued that the current administration’s approach has led to a loss of respect and trust on the global stage.
Jackson called for accountability within the Biden administration, expressing hope for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He criticized the administration’s handling of border issues, including the influx of migrants and the entry of known terrorists. Jackson contended that the Biden administration dismantled effective policies, such as “remain in Mexico,” established during Trump’s presidency.
Looking ahead, Jackson asserted that Trump, if reelected, would address border challenges by reinstating policies that discourage migration. He criticized Biden for not taking decisive action and called attention to Vice President Kamala Harris’s apparent lack of engagement with border-related matters.
In conclusion, Jackson expressed deep concern about the current situation and suggested that a resolution might only be achievable with the return of Donald Trump to the presidency.
