Like Churchill in the ‘50s, Biden is just too old to lead his nation (Like Churchill???)
NY Post ^ | 7/29/2022 | John Podhoretz

“I have been humiliated by my own decay.” Thus spoke Winston Churchill in 1953 during his second stint as Britain’s prime minister. Churchill, perhaps the greatest democratic figure of the 20th century, had been sworn in 18 months earlier — just a few weeks shy of his 77th birthday.

Joe Biden was sworn in as president two months after his 78th birthday.

The humiliation for Churchill came from an argument he lost with the American secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, who was shockingly dismissive of his concerns. Churchill’s “decay” was a serious concern.

Joe Biden is 79 now — exactly the age Churchill was when he complained of his own decay. And his age is unnerving his fellow Democrats.

This guy is a complete moron. Not a word about why he would even compare diaper joe to one of the greatest leaders of our time who led England thru WWII with their backs against the wall.

Joe went up against Corn Pop. And Corn Pop was a bad dude. Going up against Hitler would have been a piece of cake for Joe.

Churchill was “gaga” when he came back to power. So is Biden. Churchill is a national leader that people are familiar with. Find another, better example of a national leader afflicted with cognitive decline or senility if you can.

Churchill was at least 100 times more qualified to lead the UK during his last term in the 1950’s than Biden was at any time in his career.

I wonder if this is Podhoretz's real point:

"And so will Trump be in 2024, by the way. He’ll be 78 on Election Day. He shouldn’t run, and Republicans shouldn’t vote for him if he does — and for this reason alone, by the way."

Churchill gave Britain its “finest hour”. America is experiencing none of that under Biden.
