United States: The ex-White House physician, Dr Ronny Jackson, has expressed growing apprehensions regarding President Joe Biden’s declining health, spotlighting what he perceives as a rapid deterioration.

Dr Jackson, renowned for his care of three former presidents—Bush, Obama, and Trump—has raised legitimate concerns about Biden’s ability to fulfill his duties as Commander-in-Chief. He underscored the demanding nature of the role, both mentally and physically, stating, “I’ve seen firsthand the demands of the presidency.”

Moreover, Dr Jackson remarked that Biden’s incapacity to perform the role effectively is evident daily, emphasizing the challenging nature of the job and foreseeing a worsening situation for the 81-year-old President.

This isn’t the first instance where Dr Jackson has expressed concerns. Previously, he had raised questions about Biden’s cognitive abilities and advocated for a cognitive test before the 2024 elections.

Reflecting on Biden’s tenure in office, Dr Jackson remarked on the alarming rate of decline, asserting that having Biden in office for the remainder of his term, let alone another four years, poses a significant risk to the nation.

Dr Jackson also commended former President Donald Trump, the potential Republican candidate for the 2024 elections, stating that global adversaries no longer fear the United States, attributing ongoing conflicts in the Middle East to the lack of respect and trust in the current administration’s leadership.

In addition to his verbal statements, Dr Jackson took to social media, sharing an interview clip on X (previously Twitter), highlighting Biden’s accelerating cognitive decline and emphasizing the urgent need for a change in leadership for the safety and security of the nation.

The concerns raised follow recent polls indicating that former President Donald Trump maintains higher popularity among voters aged 18 to 34 compared to President Biden.
