Should Trump and Biden have to take a mental competency test? | DW News

President Joe Biden may have escaped criminal charges over his alleged mishandling of classified information. But the case has revived concernes about his age, making it a central issue in his re-election campaign. Registered Republican Special Counsel Robert Hur advised against pursuing criminal charges against the president, because he was concerned a jury would not believe he willfully held onto classified documents.
He wrote in his report: "We have also considered that, at trial, Mr Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The president used a hastily-called and chaotic press conference to hit out at claims that his memory is faulty.
But many experts consider Donald Trump to be mentally unstable. So how fit are Joe Biden and Donald Trump to be president of the US?
