Deep concerns regarding President Joe Biden's health and cognitive abilities are being raised by a former White House physician.
Texas Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson, a seasoned White House doctor, is questioning the ability of President Biden to continue in his demanding role.
Jackson, who served under the administrations of Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, is no stranger to the pressures and demands of the Oval Office. His unique perspective, having observed three different presidents' health, raises the alarm about Biden's ability to lead the nation effectively.
According to Jackson, Biden's health and cognitive faculties are not just declining, but the decline is occurring at a swift pace. He insists that the President’s role is "grueling," requiring both mental and physical resilience.
Given his close observation of past presidencies, Jackson's concerns bear significant weight. He firmly believes that Biden lacks the requisite capabilities to perform his duties effectively.
Pointing towards evidence of this decline, Jackson refers to ongoing conflicts and a perceived loss of respect from international adversaries.
Jackson insists that someone within President Biden's close circle needs to step in. He argues that they need to make Biden aware of the perceived decline and encourage him to reconsider his position.
This plea comes in the wake of recent polls showing former President Trump leading Biden by 4% among young voters. The timing of Jackson's call to action is, therefore, quite significant.
Jackson's quotes from his recent statements paint a vivid picture of his concerns.
"[The decline is] happening quickly. ... It's a grueling job, both mentally and physically. This man can't do the job. He's proven to us every single day that he can't do the job, but this is going to get worse.... It's just unbelievable how much he's degenerated just during his time in office. We cannot afford to have this man in office for the remainder of this term and then [for] another four years after that. He's already putting us at great risk right now."
According to Jackson, the implications of Biden's perceived decline are far-reaching. He argues that the lack of solid leadership in the White House is affecting the nation's standing in the international arena.
Jackson is of the belief that the nation's enemies no longer fear the United States, and there's a lack of trust from its adversaries. He attributes these issues to the perceived absence of leadership from the Biden administration.
With a history of serving under three different administrations, Jackson's perspective offers a rare insight into the physical and cognitive demands of the presidency.
