Donald Trump demands Kamala Harris take cognitive test



Former President Donald Trump has demanded Vice President Kamala Harris take a cognitive test, claiming Monday that his election rival’s “totally bonkers” replies to questions suggests there might be something “very wrong with her.”

“I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility,” the Republican candidate, 78, fired off in a Truth Social post.

“Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her.”

The former president pointed specifically to Harris’ recent controversial “60 Minutes” interview — which led to CBS News editing out one of her rambling word-salad answers — as proof the veep needs to prove she’s capable of holding down the top job.

“Even ’60 Minutes’ and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers,’ with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked,” Trump said.

“Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!” he said.

Trump took aim at his Democratic rival just days after Harris, 59, publicly released a medical report from her White House doctor that said she was in “excellent health” and “possesses the physical and mental resiliency” required to serve as president.

The report from her White House physician, Joshua Simmons, noted that Harris maintains a healthy, active lifestyle and that her most recent physical last April was “unremarkable.”

She “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” he wrote in a two-page letter released Saturday.

Trump, who repeatedly railed against President Biden’s mental ability before he dropped out of the 2024 race, has released little health information since he was grazed by a bullet during the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

His campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, insisted over the weekend that Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician and past medical reports.

“All have concluded he is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief,” Cheung said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Trump’s calls for Harris to undergo a cognitive test came soon after he declared on Truth Social that the veep shouldn’t be allowed to run the country due to the “violence and terror” she has allowed amid the US border crisis.

“My message to the American People is very simple. No person who has inflicted the violence and terror that Border Czar Harris has unleashed on our Country can EVER be allowed to become the President of the United States,” Trump said in a post late Sunday.

“Anyone who would import criminal gangs to OCCUPY America cannot ask to be President. Anyone who orchestrated an invasion of America cannot lead America. Kamala’s reign of terror ends the day I take the oath of office!”
