should be given “a few hours” of annual mental exams that should be accessible to the public.

“My position is that a 78-year-old candidate, Trump at the time, an 82-year-old president [Biden] would both benefit from neurocognitive testing,” Kuhlman said.

He went on to say that “any politician over the age of 70 has normal age-related cognitive decline,” and pointed out that he’s been recommending annual mental exams for more than a year.

Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, oversaw three physicals for the president during his time in office, but Kuhlman says the physical reports did not include notes from a neurocognitive specialist.

He also pointed out that Biden did not take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which

agreed to take during his first term. That test is a two-minute screening test of about 30 questions that probes for signs of dementia, according to Kuhlman.

Obama’s doctor said that he had “no doubts” that Trump “aced” the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, but said he believes that the White House should also release the CT scans taken after Trump’s attempted assassination last year.

While the Montreal test is able to detect some basic signs of dementia, the doctor noted that it wasn’t adequate for determining more serious cognitive issues.

According to Kuhlman, mental processing speed and spacial visualization all begin to decline around the age of 60.

Kuhlman said he respected O’Connor’s medical judgement, but added that “sometimes those closest to the trees miss the forest.”

O’Connor told the New York Post in July 2024 — just days after the then-president announced he would not run for re-election — that Biden’s cognitive health was “excellent.”

Then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted to the public that Biden didn’t “need a cognitive test” because he “passes a cognitive test every day.”

by some Democrats.

Visitor logs to the White House show that Biden did submit an evaluation form to an expert in Parkinson’s Disease, but O’Connor said that the meeting was part of Biden’s annual physical.

Kuhlman says that the doctor who evaluated Biden in that visit, Kevin Cannard, had been evaluating Biden for 14 years, and that he trusts the doctor’s evaluation.

O’Connor was subpoenaed by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Thursday to stand for questioning about Biden’s mental abilities during a hearing on June 27.

Shortly after the House investigation was launched, the Trump administration issued a memo stating that it was issuing its own investigation into whether or not people other than Biden used an autopen signature device to sign off on executive actions during the late ******* of Biden’s presidential term.

Both investigations follow the release of a book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, titled Original Sin, that alleges a mass coverup of Biden’s cognitive impairment by those closest to him.
