Ben Carson asserts Biden would likely fail basic cognitive test

Is President Biden Avoiding a Mental‍ Evaluation?

Dr. Ben Carson, former head of the Department of Housing and ⁢Urban Development under former President Trump and a respected neurosurgeon, ⁢suggests that ⁣President Joe Biden has sidestepped a basic mental assessment. Carson hints that the White House ⁤might be evading⁣ exposing the extent of the president’s cognitive decline.

Carson’s Concerns

Carson raises alarming points about Biden’s mental acuity, claiming there has ‍been‍ a noticeable decline over the years. In a recent interview with⁤ The⁢ Daily Wire, ​Carson highlighted the stark difference⁣ in Biden’s‍ speech⁣ patterns from previous years, ‍indicating a significant deterioration that raises concerns.

• Short-Term Memory⁣ Evaluation:
• Despite the simplicity of the test, Carson reveals that the White‍ House refuses to subject Biden​ to an evaluation, ⁣citing a potential high chance of failure due to memory issues.

“They’ll ask ‌questions like, count down from 100 by 7s. They’ll⁣ ask you to name three objects, you‌ can ⁣pick ⁤any ⁢three ⁤objects⁣ you want and tell them ​what they are, then they’ll ask you a whole⁢ bunch of other questions, and then they’ll say, ‘what were those ⁣three objects?’ just to‍ test your short term memory.”

Carson asserts that⁤ Biden’s performance in such a test would likely reveal concerning gaps in his cognitive abilities.
