Hours before Biden’s viral Hollywood moment, Jill tried to fend off aging concerns: ‘Joe and the other guy are essentially the same age’

PHOENIX — B-24?

A bingo caller shouted “Union jobs” and “Taking on Big Pharma” for seniors to fill with crayons cards that also included “Dr. Jill Biden” before the first lady herself showed up to address a crowd of roughly 250 Saturday afternoon — trying to ease concerns as her husband, 81, faces increasing public scrutiny regarding his mental acuity.

Mere hours after the first lady’s event, President Biden undercut her message with his third viral moment in a week, appearing to freeze up at a celebrity-led Los Angeles fundraiser before former President Barack Obama led him off the stage.

“This nana is proud to stand here with all of you to get to work to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Jill said in front of a “Seniors for Biden-Harris” sign.

On the issues, Biden focused on Social Security and Medicare in her brief address.

“Donald Trump supported ending Medicare as we know it,” she claimed.

“He wants to cut Social Security to give more tax breaks to his billionaire friends,” she continued. “Make no mistake: Donald Trump is dangerous.”

The 73-year-old first lady attempted to put a positive spin on her husband’s age while taking a dig at his Republican opponent, who is 78.

“Joe and the other guy are essentially the same age so let’s not be fooled,” she said.

“Biden is a healthy, wise, 81-year-old ready to work every day to make our future better,” she continued, echoing a line she used with Nevada voters the day before after the president made headlines for awkward behavior at the G7 summit and freezing at a Juneteenth celebration, as The Post reported.

This is King Lear level stuff with a little MacBeth thrown in.

Good analogy.

Jill is one selfish, greedy woman.

How bad is Brandon's dementia? Remember we're talking about a dullard to begin with who was not qualified to be POTUS on the best day he ever had. There must be a lot of dementia-related decline to be this noticeable when starting from such a very low base.

Age is not the issue but signs of dementia. One has shown no signs of dementia and the other huge signs of dementia. One acts like someone in their mid-50s while the other acts like someone in their mid-90s. Chronologically, there is only 4 years difference in their ages but they are decades apart in terms of vibrancy.

It’s not Xiden’s chronological age that’s at issue here. Cognitively, he never had far to fall from his best day as he’s always been a mendacious, incompetent blowhard.
It’s the policies which have been an absolute train wreck regardless of the subject: immigration/border control; reckless, unnecessary spending which has produced the highest inflation (ie, currency debasement) in over four decades; foreign affairs - the enabling of two wars while simultaneously funding both sides of each and the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan; slow-walking or outright denial of oil drilling permits (why is the government involved in this at all anyway?).
Trump MUST focus on these and let surrogates attack Xiden for his many personal failings in addition to the policy disasters.
