Biden pledges to be ‘totally transparent’ about health if elected

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden assures voters he will be open about his health if elected.

During an interview with Jake Tapper on The Lead CNN on Thursday, the POTUS hopeful claims American citizens will be fully informed on his health status.

“I guarantee you, I will be totally transparent in terms of my health and all aspects of my health,” he says confidently.

Keeping the public informed on his health status aligns with his practices as vice president to Barack Obama as he reminds audiences.

“That’s what I did,” Biden says to CNN. “I laid out my health records in more detail, pages and pages of it, when I became vice president. I laid it all out, everything, my entire background relating to my health.”

Biden’s age and health have been targeted by his presidential competitor, Donald Trump. theGrio reports the president ran campaign ads on Facebook aging the democratic nominee. He also refers to the former VP as ‘Slow Joe.’

Biden laughed at the nickname during the interview, claiming he is in better physical condition than the current commander in chief. Biden is 77-years-old while Trump is 74. If elected, Biden would become the oldest sitting president in history since Trump took office.

“When it comes to Donald Trump and me, just look at us. Who seems to be in shape? Who’s able to move around?” Biden remarks.

In December 2016, theGrio reported Biden’s health would be a deciding factor in his choosing to run for president in the current election.

“Well, look, age could be very much an issue, and it may not be,” Biden replied. “It depends on the state of my health and the health of whomever is running,” Biden said at the time.

The current POTUS has had his physical and mental health called into question. According to the New York Times, Trump has yet to clarify the reason for a 2019 hospital visit, rumored to be the result of mini strokes.

The NYT reports Trump has given various explanations involving a yearly physical. His health was called into question in June after visiting the United States Military Academy at West Point for commencement as he appeared to have trouble lifting his glass of water according to the news outlet.

Sound familiar?

We’ll have to elect him to find out what’s in him.

We are not ready for a Willie-sucking dot Indian as President. Make sure we all vote Trump.

He will be dead within the next 18 months win or lose. The decline will be rapid.

Yep, “if elected” he will be totally transparent about his health situation.

But, during the campaign, he will not be totally transparent about such matters. Only if elected.

He may want to think again, about asking people to compare him to Trump. Trump appears to be in robust health, with boundless energy. Biden appears to have slowed down quite a bit in recent years. If he’s asking us to compare, based on what we see of the two of them, sorry Joe, you will lose out in that comparison.

Can see him at his first defense briefing?

“Mr. President, here are the stats on our forces and bases.”

“Wait....what?”

And yet, he thinks he can take someone behind the woodshed. Please.

Don’t you get so tired of the news media. This President could tell everyone he’s had enough of it all and kiss the White House goodbye. Wouldn’t blame him. But on the other hand, I believe he was elected for a purpose. . .God’s Purpose to usher in the end times. This COVID has taken eyes off what is happening in the middle east.

Sure Joe, but it’s always been your mental health that’s worried me, the rest I couldn’t care less about.

Joe must not know much about buying horses.

Buyers look at the horse before they buy it, not after they buy it.

Everybody has a horse in this two horse race.
Caveat emptor - Let the buyer beware.
