Joe Biden not ‘mentally or physically’ fit to be president, says former White House physician

Days after US President Joe Biden collapsed on stage in front of Air Force graduates, a former White House physician of Donald Trump and Barack Obama has warned that 80-year-old is “not fit mentally or physically to be our president”.

Earlier on Friday, Joe Biden fell on stage during an inaugural ceremony at the US Air Force Academy, Colorado. While Biden remained unhurt, the White House placed blame on a sandbag that was supporting the podium.

However, the incident sparked the speculation around Biden’s ability to be the US President, who would be 86 years old by the end of his second term, if re-elected. The Friday incident followed him previously tripping and falling while walking up the steps to Air Force One.


Now, former White House physician and Texas GOP Republican Ronny Jackson has attacked the Democrat president. During an appearance on Fox News ‘Hannity’ show, Jackson said that he does not want to sound like a broken record, but insisted that Joe Biden is “not fit mentally or physically to be our president, and it’s a bad situation for us”.

Ronny Jackson also noted that a part of the US President is to inspire confidence and project power, and Biden “is not doing that” while adding that “he’s too old to do that, and I think it’s a shame”.

Moreover, the former White House physician also accused the officials in West Wing of “malpractice” for allowing Joe Biden to run for the second term. In the same interview, Jackson said that to think “that this man thinks he can be president at the age of 86 when he’s 80 right now [and] could be in office for another six years is just malpractice”. Further lashing out at Biden, Jackson said that a situation has arrived when America’s commander-in-chief “needs a walker”.
