Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) thinks President Donald Trump needs to see his doctor.
Citing some of Trump’s profane and threatening public statements over the past week, Raskin asked White House physician Sean Barbabella to conduct a “comprehensive cognitive assessment” of the president and provide a briefing to Congress.
“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,” Raskin wrote in a letter to Barbabella.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle called Raskin a “a stupid person’s idea of a smart person” in response to his letter.
“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the past four years when Democrats like Raskin intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,” Ingle told HuffPost.
