The New York Times is facing ridicule on Twitter after an article Sunday painted President Joe Biden’s old age in a positive light, describing the 80-year-old president as "sharp," "fit" and having "striking stamina."

The Times article, written by White House reporters Peter Baker, Michael Shear, Katie Rogers and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, titled "Inside the Complicated Reality of Being America’s Oldest President," claimed Biden’s aides have been purposely limiting his exposure to the media to avoid any potential gaffes.

"The two Joe Bidens coexist in the same octogenarian president: Sharp and wise at critical moments, the product of decades of seasoning, able to rise to the occasion even in the dead of night to confront a dangerous world," the article said. "Yet a little slower, a little softer, a little harder of hearing, a little more tentative in his walk, a little more prone to occasional lapses of memory in ways that feel familiar to anyone who has reached their ninth decade or has a parent who has."

"Like many his age, Mr. Biden repeats phrases and retells the same story, often fact-challenged stories again and again," the article continued. "He can be quirky; when children visit, he may randomly pull a book of William Butler Yeats off his desk and start reading Irish poetry to them."

"At the same time, he is trim and fit, exercises five days a week and does not drink," it added. "He has at times exhibited striking stamina, such as when he flew to Poland then boarded a nine-hour train ride to make a secret visit to Kyiv, spent hours on the ground, then endured another nine-hour train ride and a flight to Warsaw. A study of his schedule by Mr. Biden’s aides shows that he has traveled slightly more in the first few months...

“Complicated” that’s the word leftists trot out when they want to imply that they understand something that ignorant ol’ you doesn’t. Ive been hearing that stupid trick ever since I was a kid.

A parcel delivered by DHL could claim the same degree of "striking stamina!"

Striking stamina

Must be anybody that can fall down that many times and keep doing it must have it.
