One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt.
Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was” and would have to cut training sessions short because he was tired.
“The president was fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged,” the excerpt reads. “Klain feared the debate with Trump would be a nationally televised disaster.”
Biden’s first training session for the debate was called off halfway through the 90 minutes it was schedule for because the former president was failing to grasp domestic policy, according to the excerpt.
As the former president became irritable, Klain pushed Biden to run on “unfinished business” and his attempt to “subsidize state and local efforts to do childcare and bring down the cost to $20 a day. And you ought to try to fight for it again,” according to the excerpt.
“Biden seemed befuddled,” Whipple continues. “‘Well, that just seems like a big spending program,’ he said.”
“No, sir. It brings down costs for people. It’s responsive to inflation. It will bring more people into the workforce. It’s good economics. And you know this is something you’re for,” Klain responded, according to the book.
“‘I’m just too tired to continue and I’m afraid of losing my voice here and I feel bad,’ [Biden] said. ‘I just need some sleep. I’ll be fine tomorrow.’ He went off to bed,” the book writes of their second training session.
Klain was also struck by how “out of touch” Biden was with the American people, Whipple writes. The president’s first training session was not much different from the second, according to the excerpt.
“At his first meeting with Biden in Aspen Lodge, the president’s cabin,” Whipple recounts, Klain “was startled. He’d never seen him so exhausted and out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool.” Biden fell asleep by the pool after leaving the prep, according to The Guardian.
Klain was right. Biden’s debate against Trump was a disaster and he would be forced out of the presidential race by his own party a few weeks later. Two months after the debate which sparked widespread concern about Biden’s fitness among the legacy media and other Democrats, Klain defended Biden.
“I don’t deny that it was a bad debate performance, that’s different than whether or not the president is up to the job,” Klain told CNN. “He’s clearly up to the job. He’s doing it every day. He’s doing it successfully.”
Klain doubled down on his August statements to the New York Post following The Gaurdian’s story.
“I never doubted the president’s mental acuity,” Klain told the outlet. “He had become singularly focused on foreign policy and detached from Democratic allies in the pursuit of GOP support on Ukraine and Israel.”
But as Whipple reports, Klain seemed gravely concerned about Biden in the weeks leading up to the debate. Biden suggested at one point that him looking confused would suggest Trump was incoherent, the aide said.
“If he looked perplexed when Trump talked, voters would understand that Trump was an idiot. Klain replied: ‘Sir, when you look perplexed, people just think you’re perplexed. And this is our problem in this race,” the excerpt reads.
“C’mon, man! Everyone knows Trump is a big retread—or whatever. It’s gonna be like CornPop! An’ then I win!”
Asleep at the switch is the more aptly applied likening or should I say dislikening with no respect to joe boden and his illicit election coup era.
All that took advantage shall be punished. Severely.
they learned that they could do it from the movie (”Dave” 93). all you need is the silence of the close advisors, wait till a secret service whistle blower speaks up.
They are only bringing it up now because they want to claim Trump is too old to finish his term.
The Guardian paying off Biden aides through this book deal, perhaps?
Did the Guardian get any USAid money?
We may never know................
So... Are we still supposed to believe everything the democrats and their servile media say after this?
Just wondering what they’re thinking. They’re always the one’s who claim they’re protecting and guarding the truth, right?
They’re always the one’s who are protecting and guarding the truth,.....so it doesn’t get out..............
Neilia Biden is finally getting her revenge. KARMA. Joe should have come home and gone Christmas Tree shopping as promised.
It does indeed, but try to sell that to any democrat or leftist judge. Democrats always go to the mat to get their way. Republicans try to do everything sitting down.
Well, if they have RK on, it just makes Scarborough look like an idiot for thinking Slow Joe was at the top of his game.
Those little girls are the future of women of America. Probably going to be a lot worse than the current Gen Z’s.

What a pile of steaming CYA shxt.
Klain worried about the rapid decline last spring of someone he worked with daily who had a clear cut syndrome of Parkinsonism dementia back in 2019?
Yessiree, Bob.
That’s it, a rapid decline noticed by someone who was around Biden daily many over years.
But surprisingly things just unraveled SO quickly in the spring of 2024.
Yep, that’s the ticket!
What a lame brain Klain is to think any but a few remaining true keen believers actually believe him.
WHAT A JOKE.
Yeah, I'm sure that if he was in the middle of tough negotiations with the Red Chinese over a tense military stand-off in the South China Sea, our adversaries wouldn't mind if Biden were to suddenly announce that he "felt bad," and then excused himself, went off to sit by the pool, and then fell asleep.

Judge in Hunter Biden’s tax case blasts Joe Biden for ‘rewriting history’ with son’s pardon
Channel 3000 News/CNN ^ | Dec 4, 2024 | FR Posted by Diana in Wisconsin
The federal judge who oversaw Hunter Biden’s tax case blasted President Joe Biden for trying to “rewrite history” in his justification for pardoning his son. District Judge Mark Scarsi wrote in a five-page order Tuesday that some of the “representations contained” in the president’s Sunday statement announcing the pardon “stand in tension with the case record.” Scarsi specifically took issue with Biden’s rationale that his son’s tax problems were all caused by his struggle with alcohol and drug addiction.
“The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States … but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history,” Scarsi wrote.
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in September to nine tax offenses, stemming from $1.4 million in taxes that he didn’t pay. He was also convicted by a jury in June of illegally buying and possessing a gun as a drug user. The president’s pardon explicitly granted clemency for the tax and gun offenses from Hunter Biden’s existing cases, plus any potential federal crimes he may have committed “from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
In the pardon announcement Sunday night, Joe Biden claimed his son was one of many Americans “who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions.” But, as the judge pointed out, as part of Hunter Biden’s guilty plea, he admitted to not paying his tax debts even after regaining his sobriety, and even though he had the funds to pay.
The judge also rebuked the president for claiming his son was “singled out” for prosecution because of political reasons. Earlier this year, Scarsi rejected this exact argument from Hunter Biden, who wanted the indictment tossed on those grounds. (The judge in Hunter Biden’s gun case also rejected the selective-prosecution theory.) (Excerpt) Read more at channel3000.com ...
Hunter was sitting in? Not just Jill Biden then.
Then again, that’s why he was paid the big bucks. (Minus 10% for the Big Guy, of course.)
One of the tell-all books said that at least once staffers had to put strips of neon-type tape on the floor to guide him to where he was supposed to walk.
All of these people who knew and covered it up should be held accountable in some way. Not sure how, or even if there IS a way, but what they did was 100% wrong.
