Dr. Ronny Jackson, a distinguished medical expert and former White House physician who served under Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, is expressing his disdain over the lack of attention given to his persistent requests for President Joe Biden to undergo a drug test prior to squaring off against Trump in the upcoming presidential debate.
“I have sent five letters previously asking for President Biden to submit to a cognitive test, very similar to the one that President Trump got while he was president. And all five of those letters have gone completely ignored,” Dr. Jackson shared his disappointment during an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.
Dr. Jackson’s frustration builds up from previous appeals he made for cognitive testing for President Biden which were met with complete disregard. Feeling cornered by their negligence, Dr. Jackson claims it’s disgraceful that he has been pushed into this position considering his former role as a White House physician.
This call for transparency stems from Dr. Jackson’s observations during President Biden’s recent State of the Union address where he noted an alarming shift in behavior compared to previous years. “There was a Joe Biden that came out that was not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis… And there’s really no way to explain that other than he was on something,” speculated Dr. Jackson.
“They’re probably experimenting with getting the doses just right because they need something to treat his cognition, help him think straighter, wake him up for his alertness,” Dr. Jackson speculated.
In the run-up to the first of two pivotal debates for the 2024 election, the Bidens have relocated to Camp David for intense preparation sessions. This move has prompted Dr. Jackson to suggest that this week-long stay may involve modifying medications to enhance cognitive performance and attentiveness.
Dr. Jackson’s exceptional service as a White House physician under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump is well recognized. His tenure was marked by his key role in conducting medical exams of these presidents, especially during the press conference about President Trump’s health in 2018.
After his remarkable service as a White House physician and a decorated career in the U.S. Navy where he retired as a rear admiral, Jackson transitioned into politics. He was elected as a U.S. Representative for Texas’s 13th congressional district aligning with President Trump’s policies and has been actively participating in legislative activities since assuming office.
