Joe Biden’s mental aptitude has been subject to severe scrutiny over the years, with valid concerns arising about a potential cognitive decline. The evidence was clear, especially during the presidential campaign of 2020, when it was evident Biden was struggling. To downplay this situation, his political strategists ushered him into a proverbial “basement”, thus limiting his exposure at public forums.
After assuming office, the once-prominent candidate exhibited embarrassing lapses, with an array of forgetful and inapt moments. There were repeated incidents when the President could not even recall his cabinet members, and mistakenly addressed Vice President Kamala Harris as the ‘President.’ Biden’s mental lapse was further highlighted at an event where he called upon a deceased member of Congress to step forward for recognition.
His forgetfulness didn’t stop at names. He exhibited such a level of confusion it affected his physical appearance. One often observed that Biden had challenges navigating the stage after delivering a speech, even engaging in unsettling behaviours such as attempting to greet non-existent individuals. It was as if his connection to the immediate reality surrounding him had been severed.
Biden’s physical condition also mirrored his deteriorating mental state. Numerous incidents of him stumbling on stage, tripping on the steps of Air Force One, and falling off his bike suggested a concerning physical impairment. Yet, whenever these videos bubbled to the surface, raising alarms about his condition, his advocates dismissed them as ‘cheap fakes.’
Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refuted these allegations, expressing that such criticisms were ‘very insulting.’ She further conceded that they were riddled with ‘much misinformation.’ But her words proved to be little consolation, especially considering the observable matters of public record pointing towards Biden’s mental and physical deterioration.
Claims were made by Biden’s allies that videos displaying the President wandering off at an event or becoming distracted by a parachutist during a meeting with European leaders were manipulated and created with malicious intent. However, that does little to explain the sight of former President Barack Obama leading Biden away during a fundraiser that witnessed yet another confused display.
A new book, ‘2024: How Trump Retook the White House, and the Democrats Lost America’ reveals internal discussions within Biden’s camp about the potential of the President undergoing a cognitive test. However, as The New York Times reported, his advisers decided against a cognitive examination, with fears that the mere act of taking the test might underline queries surrounding his age.
The underlining issue wasn’t the age but the stark truth that any sincere cognitive test would have conclusively revealed Biden’s incompetence and inadequacy for the role of the United States President, a post that demands the highest degree of mental acuity. But his aides chose to mask this conspicuous fact that was largely evident to the American public.
There was a glaringly obvious conclusion, Biden was unfit to hold his presidency. He seemed more suited for a care facility where he could receive treatment for his age-related concerns, instead of occupying the historic 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. However, his handlers attempted to muffle any such concerns antagonistic to their agenda.
Campaign season unlatched a Pandora’s box, laying the bare truth about Biden before the people. Savvy observers acknowledged that the Democratic candidate was not in a condition to commit to another term. Seymour Hersh, as an investigative reporter, jotted that influential donors of the Democratic party, having gauged Biden’s true state, switched off their support, ending the President’s pipedream of a second term.
Otherwise, Biden’s die-hard supporters, within and outside of the White House, would have embarked on another mission to perpetrate the single most deceptive cover-up in American history. But the truth refused to stay buried, levelling the facade bit by bit and revealing the shocking reality concerning America’s siting President.
Biden’s dismal state was thrown open through an insightful piece in The New York Times by George Clooney. The aftermath of this revelation was prompt and predictable – Biden receded from the campaign and passed the baton to Kamala Harris, endorsing her for the presidency.
This harrowing chain of events had distressing after-effects. The fallout was Biden’s ‘autopen presidency’ that transpired to be a spectacle of misgovernance attributable to his degenerating cognitive health. The concealed reality of Biden’s health condition had severe implications that extended beyond a mere political crisis.
One of the salient consequences was an unchecked infiltration across our southern border. The immigration procedures and checks collapsed, transforming into an unruly mess. Concurrently, the federal debt surged significantly under Biden’s dilapidated leadership, driving the economy towards an inescapable abyss.
In tandem with an ailing economy, the most divisive and damaging agendas were aggressively pushed under Biden’s presidency. The notorious ‘woke’ culture and the highly criticised ‘New Green Deal’ policies contributed to the socio-political fracture in the country, leading to increased polarization and discomfort.
The international scene wasn’t immune to the damage inflicted under Biden’s rule. It precipitated chaos and near nuclear upheaval, signalling a clear degeneration of American influence and power on the international stage. A grim tale of one man unprepared and unsuitable for the high office he held – that summarizes the Biden Presidency.
