Former President Trump on Friday reupped his request for President Biden to undergo a cognitive test, telling Biden he would accompany him.
‘Joe should immediately take a Cognitive Test, and I will go with him, and take one also,’ Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. ‘For the first time we’ll be a team, and do it for the good of the Country…’

If Biden does not accept this challenge, he’s either a fool or a fraud. After all, it offers the perfect, face-saving way for Biden to explain his flubs and his belated decision to withdraw. And let’s face it, withdraw he must and will, eventually.
On the other hand, in typical, self-incriminating fashion, Trump has set a trap for himself. After all, his results are bound to show similar cognitive decline. But he will claim the test was rigged against him and stay in the race, highlighting his mendacity and inability to face reality.
However, instead of a hesitant and senile Joe Biden, Trump would then be facing a prosecutorial and vibrant Kamala Harris.
