The former head of Trump’s Housing and Urban Development Department, Dr. Ben Carson, sounded the alarm as recent news showed how President Joe Biden’s mental and physical state is deteriorating.
Dr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, responds to a recent report that Biden’s office is taking steps to cover up his age, especially during his brief walks across the White House lawn to Marine One.
Biden’s staffers flank around him as he departs or arrives from Marine One to diffuse questions about his physical fitness.
Previously, the 81-year-old president was photographed walking with Deputy Chiefs of Staff Bruce Reed, Annie Tomasini, and advisor Mike Donilon.
“His physical and mental condition is really quite concerning,” Carson said.
The neurosurgeon added that some foreigners laughed at the president, making him an embarrassment to the international community.
This perception of Biden endangers American people.
“If he is not functionally at capacity, he puts the entire country at risk.”
“Some people are saying, at his age, I know a lot of people who are older than him who are mentally quite agile. There’s something more wrong. And this is a problem that could be easily resolved by him doing a mental status test,” Carson added.
The former Trump cabinet member challenged the incumbent president to take a mental acuity test.
“Why are they afraid to do a mental status test? If they are so certain that he is sharp as a tack, that would not be an issue at all, so obviously, something is being hidden there. You don’t have to be a doctor to see that he has declined.”
A recent poll conducted by the Associated Press validated Carson’s statement. According to AP-NORC, at least 63 percent of respondents say they are “not very or not at all confident” in Biden’s mental and physical fitness.
Breaking down the numbers could send the Democrats into a panic, where 32 percent of Democrats do not trust Biden’s fitness, 80 percent of independents, and a staggering 91 percent among Republicans.
His recent blunders are enough to cause worry, as these further expose the deterioration of his health.
Just last week, in a speech at a trade union conference in Washington, DC, Biden committed a verbal slip-up again.
Reading from the teleprompter, he said: “Imagine what we could do next? 4 more years… pause!”
Aside from the Associated Press survey, another poll conducted by the Pew Research Center shows that at least 65 percent of potential voters in the upcoming elections doubt Biden’s physical fitness required to do the job of president.
Moreover, 62 percent of the respondents have little or no confidence in Biden’s mental fitness.
