The mainstream media omertà about President Joe Biden’s decline is finally being broken.
Not making excuses! Yesterday, President Joe Biden continued his attempts to save face following a terrible debate performance that led many members of his own party to wonder aloud whether the presidential ticket ought to be swapped out.
Biden said he „fell asleep on the stage“ because he’d gone „around the world a couple of times“ in the two weeks preceding the debate. „I wasn’t very smart“, he said at a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia. „I decided to travel around the world a couple times, I don’t know how many time zones.“
Biden assured donors that this was „not an excuse but an explanation.“ Meanwhile, his press secretary kept repeating the line that actually, his poor performance is attributable to the fact that he was sick with a cold.
They should probably get their story straight. But also, though Biden had been in Italy, France, and Los Angeles in early and mid-June, he returned to Washington, D.C., on June 16—11 days before the debate—where he worked on debate prep for a whole week prior to the showdown.
It is implausible that Biden’s jet lag lasted a full 11 days. And, if he is so worn out by that type and frequency of travel, he’s probably ill-suited for another term in the White House, as this type of thing will be expected of him.
Biden in obvious decline: It surely comes as no shock to voters that the 81-year-old is not as cognitively sharp as he was four years ago. The White House physician, back in February, reassured the public that the president has no major health issues and that there were „no findings which would be consistent with“ Parkinson’s disease.
Not to belabor the obvious, but things decline quickly in old age. Just because a physician made that assessment back in February doesn’t mean it holds true in July; besides, the White House has not made the physician available to reporters and has been quite tight-lipped about Biden’s health status.
