Footage has gone viral on social media showing yet another example of President Biden at a press conference appearing confused and disoriented. Biden even stated, “I better not start the questions. I’ll get in trouble.”
Reportedly, Biden’s handlers then forced members of the press to leave the room before the president could be further questioned. The viral clip from the press conference has left users on social media confused as to why the President of the United States would “get in trouble” for answering questions. The incident has further drawn into question the status of Biden’s cognitive abilities.
“That kind of talk doesn’t belong to a man who is supposed to be a President of USA. Whoever is/are behind him should be arrested and charge of treason!” one user said in the X comments section. Another person voiced similar sentiment, writing, “Why would THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE get “in trouble” for answering questions? PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.”
Many have criticized Biden’s questionable cognitive and physical fitness, suggesting that it weakens America’s image on the global stage. “The most powerful man in the entire world is reduced to saying “I’ll get in trouble” if he goes off the script. Democrat or Republican, you need to seriously think about what you are seeing,” one person commented.
Many have also speculated that the 81-year-old president has demonstrated signs of dementia, where one X user claimed Biden’s behavior mirrored that of his elderly mother, who suffered from the condition. “Once when my grandmother had dementia, we had a birthday party for her. My brothers, my sister, our families, my mother all came in with a cake for her and presents. She looked at us just like Biden is looking at these people, for about two minutes, and then said, “Who are you people and why are you in my room?”,” they said.
As incidents similar to this one have been commonplace throughout Biden’s term, a primary concern among American voters is whether Biden is even physically and mentally fit to serve as president of the United States. Adding fuel to this fire, Special Counsel Robert Hur recently validated these concerns in an official Department of Justice investigation. This determination by the special counsel invariably creates a problem for Biden’s reelection prospects.
The American Tribune reported on the conclusion of the special counsel, which determined that charges would not be brought against President Biden in relation to his mishandling of classified documents, partly because of his elderly age and poor memory. “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” the report stated. “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.”
“The special counsel’s report tries to let Biden off by claiming that he is too mentally incompetent to convict at a trial,” former President Donald Trump commented on the special counsel ruling. “‘I’m not going to charge him with a crime, but it’s okay for him to become Commander in Chief’ – think of that one.” Trump added, “But we know that Joe Biden has always been too mentally incompetent.”
