Jasmine Crockett: ‘It’s Time for Republicans to Question Trump’s Mental Acuity’
@Source: rollingstone.com
Following Donald Trump‘s bizarre speech to West Point graduates, where the president opined on topics ranging from yachts and trophy wives to drag shows and golf, Rep. Jasmine Crockett is calling on Republicans to “start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally.”
“I don’t think that those who have gone through West Point expected to have their commander in chief address them and start talking about trophy wives or start talking how he has so many investigations,” she said. “What a great reminder that you are not qualified to be the person that potentially will command troops to go into war. That is not instilling confidence whatsoever.”
“It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally,” Crockett added. “We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.”
At West Point, when talking about real estate developer Bill Levitt, Trump said: “He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife. Could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. But that didn’t work out too well, I must tell you. A lot of trophy wives, it doesn’t work out, but it made him happy for a little while at least.”
Trump added, “But he found a new wife. He sold his little boat and he got a big yacht.”
At a time when there is much reporting and hand-wringing about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive status, thanks to a recently released book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, who have been criticized by Jon Stewart for not publicly reporting the facts in the book earlier. Meanwhile, others have pointed out that Trump’s mental state seems comparably worse than Biden’s was last term.
Here are some other gems of wisdom the president imparted on West Point’s class of 2025 during his speech:
Trump broke with tradition and refused to stay at the ceremony to shake the hands of the West Point grads.
Crockett also criticized the spending bill House Republicans passed last week, saying the “cruel bill” does nothing for regular Americans while ensuring “those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane.”
“That doesn’t work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents,” she said.
