Every now and then, some reader will accuse me of harping on the president’s age, health, and mental state. But I can’t believe how many people just shrug at this. The U.S. government is currently headed by an old man who can barely maintain the illusion that he’s doing the job. He rambles about how much he loves ice cream before discussing school shootings and babbles about how he sees so many interracial couples in television commercials nowadays. He regularly blurts out off-the-cuff statements that contradict his own administration policies. There are serious reasons to doubt Biden remembers what he is told in classified briefings.
And everybody around the president just lies to us about it. Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester claims Biden has more energy now than when he was in his forties. Horsepucky. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden has so much energy she “can’t even keep up with him.” Balderdash.
[Short answer: Nope. But they will continue colluding with each other to created Potemkin press conferences to prop up Dear Leader. — Ed]
