Joe Biden told donors at a fundraiser at a private home in McLean, Virginia Tuesday evening that he “almost fell asleep on stage” during his debate debacle with President Trump last Thursday. Biden was introduced at the fundraiser by Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA).
Biden blamed ‘flying around the world’ in the weeks before the debate for his fatigue. The New York Times reported earlier Tuesday that during the week-long debate prep at Camp David, Biden was scheduled for a daily afternoon nap.
Biden’s comments were reported by pool reporter Andrew Feinberg who noted that Biden “spoke very softly” (no mention if Biden used a teleprompter.) (Excerpt):
POTUS admitted that he did not have a good debate, said he “wasn’t very smart” for “traveling around the world a couple times” before the debate.
“I decided to travel around the world a couple of times shortly before the debate. I didn’t listen to my staff and then I almost fell asleep on stage.”
POTUS also apologized by saying he was sorry for the performance but stressed that it was “critical” to win the election.

I would have done greater but I fell asleep. You guys should have done this thing in a reasonable hour. That’s not a joke.
This admission by Biden only makes himself look even worse if that was even possible. It only solidifies the opinion that he can’t function between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. everyday.
He “decided” to travel around the world? Seems to me that it’s part of the job.
And like you said, he’s got a big beautiful bed to sleep in. Lame, lame, lame excuses.
That is what dementia patients do after 5pm.
Let us not forget the raging cold he had, which he has already forgotten about.
I thought he was holed up somewhere in Delaware for a week doing debate prep.
I find it hard to believe he actually said that, let alone remembering the debate at all.
The absolute mindless lunacy this country is going through right now will have historians laughing their asses off for centuries to come.
And will future generations (regardless of nationality) learn from our current debacle? The correct answer is “no”.
Camp David.
Telling his already nervous donors at a fundraiser that he almost fell asleep on stage must have really calmed their fears.
I thought he had fallen asleep, and was mumbling in his sleep.
My Mama had dementia. Vascular dementia. I would tuck her in at 8 pm, and hold vigil during the night. She would sometimes go use the restroom between midnight and 4 am, sometimes a couple of times. I would awaken her at 9:30 am to take her meds if she was still sleeping. (She often was.) She almost always took a nap around 1 pm for a couple of hours, and then we would have an afternoon and evening that we spent together. Rinse and repeat.
There’s no way in H-E-double-toothpicks that Joe is capable of performing the duties of the POTUS. Jill should be ASHAMED. Hunter should be ASHAMED. Ashley should be ASHAMED. And everyone who says that Joe is ok should be ASHAMED.
This is elder abuse, pure and simple.
He didn't think.
I would say he didn't think it through, but he didn't think captures it.
The media has lied to us consistently. He was either in Delaware or Camp David. If he was in Camp David, it shows, yet again, how they continue to lie to us to our faces…over and over and over again.
We’re not on any plantation. We don’t have to take them at their word for anything. If we weren’t there already, it would certainly be the time for them to show us actual proof of the things they claim.
Is he off script, again, or is this approved.
Jet lag is a real thing.
Oh, so he had a cold AND he was tired.
Okay then, he’s good to go then. Some orange juice and a nap and the campaign is back on track.
Joe hasn’t been able to think since 1988 when he first ran for President. Possibly even before that.
