Is Biden Capable Physically and Mentally to Be the POTUS?

I saw or heard numerous news stories today about how the mainstream media is attempting to “change the picture” of what is happening with President Joe Biden. Tonight, I found an article that gave a name to what is happening in the media: gaslighting.

According to Jarrett Stepman at The Daily Signal, the media is attempting to make us believe that “President Joe Biden is fit as a fiddle.” 

All those videos you’ve seen of him staring into space, moving awkwardly, falling, garbling words, shaking hands with the air, forgetting names, describing recent conversations with people who’ve been dead for years, and being led around by handlers like a child? Just fake news.

Here’s White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling reporters Monday that every video you’ve seen of the president looking “frail” and “confused” is nothing but a “cheap fake.” (This was an apparent spin on a “deepfake,” a digitally enhanced video that’s hard to distinguish from reality.)

Jean-Pierre quotes The Washington Post, supposedly to debunk these videos and never actually says that they’ve been digitally altered. How convincing.

I think I’ll personally start using “cheap fake” as a new-fashioned phrase to replace “Orwellian.” It now means that a regime apparatchik is telling me I need to stop believing in something I can clearly see with my own eyes but is demanding I turn off my brain to ignore it.

It couldn’t be more obvious that the White House and its Democrat media allies think that Biden’s health issues – I know I’m not supposed to say that, but bear with me here in the realm of reality – are a big problem politically.

They also know that the crisis is escalating. Sure, sometimes Biden seems sort of all right, but even at his best, the president is noticeably slower than he was a few years ago, even six months ago. The number of odd incidents seems to be growing.

Stepman reviewed several events that highlighted the deterioration in Biden’s mental and physical health: (1) The recent article by The Wall Street Journal saying that he shows signs of slipping “behind closed doors. (2) Biden was frozen in place with a weird grin on his face at an early Juneteenth celebration on June 10. (3) Biden had a series of horrific events while he was in France to commemorate the 80^th anniversary of D-Day. (4) Biden wandering off and being rescued by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. (4) Biden putting his forehead on the forehead of the Pope.

Then came, in my mind, the most damning and symbolic video.

At a big Democrat Party fundraiser over the weekend, Biden seemed to freeze again onstage. Was he just basking in the adulation and applause of the crowd? I guess that’s one interpretation.

But the weird pause is not the biggest problem here. What makes this video really stick out is the way former President Barack Obama, who many suspect really pulls the strings in the White House, takes Biden by the wrist and essentially leads him offstage like a child.

Anyone who has been around people who are elderly or in physical and mental decline understands what’s happening. Those around Biden are trying subtly to aid the president without embarrassing him, but the signs are hard to hide.

The issue is that Biden isn’t just any average retiree in his twilight years. He’s expected to be the president of the United States, who has awesome responsibilities and whose judgment may decide the fate of millions.

Yet the White House and corporate media are saying, “Don’t let your lying eyes deceive you. He’s fine, I tell you.”

Democrats in the media claim that Republicans selectively “edited the videos too mislead viewers,” but there is “no evidence of actual tampering in any of these videos.” Then they try to compare Donald Trump to Biden by saying that Trump is only three years younger than Biden. There may be only three years difference in age, but anyone with eyes to see can see that Trump can campaign circles around Biden. This is why no one is buying the age argument. Stepman then explained “why the Left’s gaslighting about Biden’s condition isn’t catching on.”

This isn’t a matter of policy or ideas, where one can turn to lies or sophistry to delude the public.

You don’t need to be a constitutional lawyer or a policy wonk to see that Biden is in steep physical and mental decline.

If Biden looks this bad in public, you can bet that the problem is much worse in private….

It’s why Republicans in Congress are right to demand the audio tapes of Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur over his possession of classified documents from his years as a senator and vice president. Hur decided not to bring charges against Biden because he is an “elderly man with a poor memory” and “diminished faculties.” Just how diminished is he?

Stepman wrote what many people have been thinking and saying. We all know that the United States President – whoever they are – have great demands on them. One only needs to look at “before” and “after” pictures of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama to understand how the job ages a president. Since a POTUS holds such great responsibilities, all Americans have a right to know if their president “really is out to lunch” and “who is really running the executive branch.”
