What demands are being made by Congress regarding Trump's mental health?
Finally, Democrats in the House of Representatives are demanding that Donald Trump publicly release his cognitive exams and take a new cognitive exam in public as his physical and mental health continues to deteriorate. Scott McFarlane from the Midas Touch Network got the scoop. Ranking members of House Judiciary Committee formally asked the White House physician to conduct cognitive exams of Donald Trump and to post it publicly, unedited, citing truth social posts and Trump's statements at the Easter Egg Roll. Quote, experts have repeatedly warned that the president has been exhibiting signs of consistent dementia, and signs that are consistent with dementia and cognitive decline. And in recent days, the country has watched President Trump's public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.
And as long-term viewers of the Midas Touch Network, you know we've been focused on this for a very long time. I wanna share with you this very powerful letter from Democratic Congress member, Jamie Raskin, who chairs or he will be the chair of the House Judiciary Committee if Democrats take back the House. He's now the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. Here's his letter to Donald Trump's physician, Sean Barbarella. Here's what it says. According to former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, long one of Donald Trump's staunchest political allies. The president has, quote, gone mad. This is a medical judgment that I am not qualified to make, but I understand what Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about.
Experts have repeatedly warned that the president has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline. And in recent days, the country has watched President Trump's public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening. His apparently deteriorating condition has caused tremendous alarm across the nation and political spectrum about the president's cognitive function and continuing mental fitness for the office of the president and prompted concerns about the president's well-being. At a time when our country is at war, especially when the war was initiated by the president without congressional declaration or consent, the American people must be able to trust that the Commander-in-Chief has the mental capacity to discharge the essential duties of his office.
I therefore request that you conduct a comprehensive cognitive assessment of President Donald Trump, provide the results to Congress, and make yourself available to brief Congress on your findings. Republicans and Democrats alike have recognized that presidential cognitive fitness is a matter of urgent and essential public concern and that it warrants rigorous congressional oversight. Calling former President Joe Biden's mental acuity one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer actually subpoenaed the White House physician and issued a comprehensive staff report on the subject. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan declared that the president, who is not cognitively fit, isn't fit for office.
I trust that both chairmen will stand by his important principle today with the country in an uproar over the president's recent fulmination, and mad threats. President Trump's recent behavior has raised unsettling questions about his mental state. On Easter Sunday morning, the 79-year-old president of the United States posted the following message on Truth Social at 8.03 a.m., tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in iran there will be nothing like it open the straight you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell just watch praise be to allah the post combined vulgarity and profanity unprecedented threats of mass civilization destruction and a sarcastic invocation of islam on easter morning
a bizarre display that shocked tens of millions of Americans and astonished observers across the political spectrum.
