Trump botches doctor’s name while urging Biden to take cognitive test

Donald Trump highlighted concerns about President Joe Biden’s mental acuity during a speech in Michigan on Saturday, but the former president had a slip-up while doing so.

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, challenged his lead opponent to a cognitive test while speaking at a Turning Point Action convention in Detroit, but Trump misstated the name of the doctor who once performed the same test on him.

“I think [Biden] should take a cognitive test like I did. I took a cognitive test, and I aced it,” Trump told the crowd. “Doc Ronny, doc Ronny Johnson, does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history.”

Trump was referencing Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as the presidential physician from 2013 to 2018.

Trump, not realizing the error, continued to boast about the results of his cognitive test.

“In fact, he said if I didn’t eat junk food I would live to 200. That’s what he said,” Trump told the crowd.

The Biden campaign was quick to spotlight Trump’s gaffe, sharing a video of the moment on X and noting the inaccurate name.

Yes, we all know that Brandon is toast.  Please don't give the leftists reasons to ridicule you.

[LMAO]

So what?

He said Johnson instead of Jackson. Big deal

Who hasn’t forgotten a name from time to time?


Is the media  really going to equate a mistaken last name from time to time with what we’ve seen the last three years with Joe Biden

I’m not sure how far the Democrats  want to go with that considering what they have on their hands in the White House

Forgetting a last name is not the same as the president who continuously wanders off the stage and has to be redirected or pulled away from press conferences  by the  Easter Bunny

While Biden looks around the room, asking the wheelchair bound - and even the dead - to stand up and take a bow.
