Dr. Jonathan Renard, a cardiologist who served as former Vice President Dick Cheney's doctor, called on Congress to review Trump's fitness to serve as President after President Trump increasingly pushed forward with plans to acquire Greenland due to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
On Monday local time, Renard posted on the X platform: "This letter and the fact that the president directed it to be distributed to other European countries should prompt lawmakers from both parties to launch an investigation into the president's suitability for this position."
Renard was referring to Trump's recent letter to Norway's prime minister, which was released by the Norwegian government. In the letter, Trump complained that Norway "decided not to award me the Nobel Peace Prize, even though I have prevented eight wars or more." He also said that he "no longer feels the need to only consider peace issues" but will instead turn his attention to "things that are good and appropriate for the United States."
Trump also questioned why Denmark had "ownership" of Greenland and asserted that "the world will not be safe unless we have full control of Greenland." Norwegian officials said Trump asked that his message be conveyed more broadly to other governments.
Renard has become increasingly concerned about Trump's health and his medical decisions. Earlier this month, he called the president's daily regimen of 325 milligrams of aspirin "unconventional" and said it made "no sense" given current guidelines for treating heart disease.
Trump dismissed such concerns. In a post on his "Truth Social" account earlier this month, he claimed that the White House doctor said his health was "completely fine" and declared that he "excelled" on a cognitive ability test "for the third time in a row."
