Foreign diplomats react with horror to Biden’s dismal debate performance
CNN ^ | Fri June 28, 2024 | Kylie Atwood, Nic Robertson, Luke McGee and Jeremy Herb

President Joe Biden’s dismal showing at the CNN presidential debate against former President Donald Trump resonated around the world, with foreign diplomats expressing shock and concern while raising questions about the implications for a consequential US election that could upend the foreign policy status-quo should Trump be elected again.

“Hard to watch” is how multiple foreign diplomats described Thursday night’s debate between Biden and Trump to CNN.

The overwhelming sentiment among more than half a dozen diplomats from Europe, the Middle East and Asia whom CNN spoke to was that it was “a bad night for Biden,” as one European diplomat put it.

“It is a sad reality that Biden is old, and he is getting older. We saw it. I had difficulties understanding what he was saying, and I understand English pretty well,” said a second European diplomat.

“Trump ate him alive,” said an Arab diplomat.

“I was shell-shocked. I could not believe my eyes,” an Asian diplomat said of Biden’s performance.

Biden’s debate flop was front-page news across Europe, with left- and right-leaning newspapers excoriating the president – even in France, where the country has its own elections coming up this weekend.

I see what you did there, CNN. Suggesting, through your diplomats, they do the old switcheroo and replace Biden with Newsom. Sorry, you’re stuck with him. Besides, Trump is good for your failing financial health. Remember you battering Trump 24/7 when he was Prez got the haters’ eyes on your screen. He will be tossing you a 4 year lifeline until you finally go under after that.

Of course they can see.

They’re paid not to look, not to hear, not to speak.

They’re willing for the shilling.

They are Deep State.

The Yurps are worried the end of Biden will spell the end of Project Ukraine and the end of their soft touch/sugar daddy in Washington. They’re right on both counts.

I'm pro-Ukraine, but they have six months for a decisive breakthrough. Failing that, it's time for a ceasefire.

The Europeans can pick up our share if they disagree. But we know they're not going to do that.

America, HERSELF has been ‘pining for the fjords’ since Brandon was selected!

Hard to believe that these ‘diplomats’ are JUST now noticing this? I can imagine their jobs are exponentially harder when we have a Socialist Democrat in office. Ugh!

Nice to see CNN ‘reporting’ these reactions (fake news or not) for all to see, though! First bit of real journalism they’ve done in DECADES.

A likely choice. Except for all that military / veteran stuff. This is for the D party after all. Those pulling the strings just love love love to create a
Wars. But they hate the military and despise vets.

And yes she ain’t eligible on her mama’s side.

Hi

Clyburn helped select Biden and of course he’s minority, two check boxes for the DNC. He might be a bit on the old side — ? 83? But yes he seems to have aged a bit better than Biden? (Then again, the Sphinx at Giza has also aged better than Biden.)

Cheers

Breitbart has an article today saying Italy is celebrating the return of President Trump.

The fact that his handlers let him out of his cage means they got some big plans for their little critter. The deep state knows they gotta make a huge move because their "list is in the open" now and everyone sees it.

what is a bit surprising is that this leftwing media outlet published such a story as this

The regional rag is behind the times, as usual, and still in conceal-and-deny mode. One mild story on its homepage, not visible until you hit "page down" three times, and close the popup ad for a law firm.

Worldwide lies by leaders and the media. They already knew that Joe Biden was impaired. They hid it from people who consume only the propaganda press.

Will a 25th Amendment action provoke a Constitutional Crisis (based on the ineligibility of Kamala Harris to assume the Presidency)?

The Deep State does not follow rules.

They create new ones.

Watch and learn in the next few months.

The “impossible” is their specialty.

She’s eligible so there will be no constitutional crisis.

How many times do people need to be proven wrong on this argument before they finally drop it? Nobody agrees with them. It never turns out the way they think it should. Its not going to turn out the way they think it should in the future either.

Talk with any doctor or people who work with the elderly or just family members.

Altheimer’s/Senile/Dementia patients have good days and bad days. In fact, this is one of the more despicable aspects of the disease.

Grandpa has a very good day, recognizes and loves everyone, really seems sharp... But come tomorrow he doesn’t know where he is, who you are, or what day it is.

This happened to me. One day, my Grandpa would want to take my son out to buy him ice cream and toys, the next day he’d say he will kill him if he touches his stuff again. I had to remove all the knives and ensure my son didn’t stay with him alone.

Every time you think there’s some hope, it gets snatched away the next day. Bad days start becoming more common, then typical, until finally the patient is done and will never see another good day.

Have you viewed the documents? They prove the ineligibility of Kamala Harris for her office (and the Presidency).

However, insufficient reporting, similar to the mainstream media's attempts at a cover-up of the lack of cognitive ability of Biden, has also applied to this topic.

Sorry. No. She was born in the US. She is therefore a natural born citizen and thus eligible to be president. The SCOTUS disagrees with any other interpretation and they have disagreed with any other interpretation for over 100 years. They’re not going to change that interpretation. You might as well accept it rather than constantly tilting at windmills.
