Also, yes.... Biden was wrong for the “You Ain’t Black” comment but I don’t see the point in inserting the interviewer’s race into this (as always Black people).

I agree that the average age of the senate, Congress and the current White House administration is way too old but to think everyone needs a dementia test just because they are a senior citizen is just being prejudiced.

I agree. I get age is a concern but acting like they should all be tested for dementia crosses the line of ageism.

they're playing by the same rules the left media set forth. every time trump disagrees with a reporter the media points out their race and S*x. it should be irrelevant but the left has decided its always relevant 🤷‍♀️

Some critical race theory proponents would say insinuating a black man is a druggie is a racist dog whistle. that is their standard.

Hmmm, thats funny. the left loved the idea of it not long ago!

Just as Presidents of the United States undergo an annual checkup and physical every year, it makes sense that they should also undergo an annual checkup for their mental health. Since mental health is of equal importance to one’s physical health, it makes little sense to ignore it and pretend it’s not important.

Or worse, to act as though a person’s mental health either doesn’t exist or can’t be objectively measured.

It’s time for our Presidents, beginning with Donald J. Trump, to undergo annual mental health checkups, coinciding with their physical exams.

I wouldn’t be against testing them for cocaine as well.
