White House Taking Urgent Measures To Prevent Biden From Falling As Democrats Remain ‘Terrified’ Of Bad Slip
Daily Caller ^ | September 26, 2023 11:09 AM ET | REAGAN REESE, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT

Democrats are reportedly “terrified” that 80-year-old President Joe Biden will have a bad fall while some are frustrated that aides allow the president to wander off stage following speaking engagements, according to Axios.

Amid growing concerns about the president’s age, Biden and his campaign have focused on ensuring that he does not trip, as the president wears tennis shoes to avoid slipping and takes shorter stairs up to board Air Force One, according to Axios. After Biden fell over a sandbag at the US Air Force Academy commencement in June, senior Democrats became frustrated with the president’s team because he appears to not know where to go after leaving the podium following speeches.

“This isn’t new — it was proactively and transparently disclosed in a 2021 report from the president’s doctor and again this year,” Andrew Bates, White House spokesperson, told the outlet. “This article fits an unfortunate pattern of media attempting to sensationalize something that has long been public, rather than covering the president’s very real achievements for hardworking Americans.”

Biden has been attending physical therapy sessions since 2021 in an effort to improve his balance, often going to appointments with Drew Contreras, a physical therapist who also worked with former President Barack Obama, Axios reported. The president’s physician diagnosed Biden with “a combination of significant spinal arthritis” and “mild post-fracture foot arthritis” which have reportedly led to his balance problems.

Biden’s doctor has recommended “proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers” as a way for the president to improve his balance, though it’s unclear what the recommendation means, Axios reported.

“I have never heard the term ‘proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers.’ It is not a clinical term in standard use,” Professor James Gordon, chair of the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California, told the outlet.

Biden’s age and his fitness to serve as president have become a main concern for Americans; 77% of Americans believe that Biden is too old to effectively run the country, one poll showed. A record low number of Americans, 28%, believe the president inspires confidence.

Biden takes a fall and bows out signaling that he will not be running for election?

I hear they’re triple-layering his diapers in case he falls on his a$$.

If I were a Democrat I’d be hoping for a “bad slip”

Replace him with a double—problem solved.

He is a dumb puppet anyway.

Biden MUST STAY IN THE RACE.

He has no other choice.

Once he resigns he no longer has any power to pardon anybody.......................

Probably includes exercises like walking and chewing gum at the same time.

I’m guessing an appearance at the Grand Canyon is not on the schedule.

Don’t think for a moment that is off the table. They may already have one for some situations.

Get the old guy a walker - at some point is his family going to start caring about his welfare and well-being, or is it all about clinging to power?

You may have these symptoms if you have a proprioception disorder:

Falling when you walk across uneven surfaces
You don’t understand your own strength. For example, you may not know how much force to use when writing or picking up a brick
Uncoordinated movement, such as finding it hard to walk straight
Balance issues, which can lead to problems when you walk up or down stairs or cause you to fall.

In Biden’s case he needs THIS -

A CRAPPER wheelchair is a CRAPPER with wheels that looks similar to a wheelchair. This CRAPPER chair with wheels has an opening in the seat where a waste receptacle is placed. The wheeled CRAPPER chair allows for Joey to CRAP without all the mess for those doddering old fools of limited mental ability and stability. No more diapers for Joey with this chair.

Strap his ass down!!!!

Biden won't complete his term of office.

Harris succeeds him, and then proceeds to pardon Hunter.

My 2ȼ.

My guess is she won’t pardon anybody. She will refuse, and may have already made it known as such.

She can read what happened to Gerald Ford after he pardoned Nixon........................
