White House aides reportedly confirmed that President Joe Biden is exhibiting a common symptom of dementia, according to Axios.
When Biden and former President Donald Trump met on the debate stage, the current president became the focus of the Thursday forum as he looked confused, appeared to freeze up and stumble through answers. Amid the calls for the 81-year-old to drop out of the race, the Biden campaign and the president have worked to dispel concerns and downplay the performance as a rough night. Despite the damage control, sources told Axios that the president is “dependably engaged” between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. but is susceptible to “verbal miscues” and fatigue outside that time frame.

Throughout Biden’s presidency, aides have seen “flashes of an absent-minded Biden” but have typically ignored the instances because the president is normally engaged, eight current and former Biden officials told Axios. The time of day plays an important role during which Biden is on display throughout his duties as president, the outlet noted.
As concerns for Biden’s fitness for office have grown, the president’s memory has been called into question as he gaffes, confuses world leaders and blanks on facts. (RELATED: White House Officially Claims Biden Has Made 148 Mistakes During 2024 Public Remarks)

Only the body Jim, Captain Pike's mind is there but his body is gone. However for the past President of the United States the mind is gone but the body is still there and functioning.
White House staff wouldn’t be letting this cat outta the bag if Joey wasn’t on his way out.
Didn't work.
Yes. Early dementia can be be shown more when the person is more tired, stressed, rattled by something as well as other events around them. It can still be early dementia when their cognitive skill is not very “full time”.
Trump shows no early dementia signs.
If they wanted to "preserve democracy" they would have run a coherent candidate instead of a sad head of lettuce.
Yep. And they are an insider publication.
I noticed during the 2020 primaries and so did most on this forum. It’s the American mushrooms that propaganda works on, they are kept in the dark and fed sh!t.
Pike never died.
That was a Fake debate.
but they just got 27 million. the left want Biden!!
It’s called “Sundowner Syndrome”........
Apparently, even if the entire adult population (some 250 million people) concluded that Biden is unfit to serve as president, there is nothing we can do about it.
It’s up to people like Obama, Schumer, Clinton, etc.
As usual.
We are not a free people.
As usual, our side doesn't know how to play The Game.
All these recent discoveries and pronouncements by the press, former aides and the upper echelons of democrat heirarchy. It’s almost like they all need to get together and form a plan of succession.......
I’ll take conclusions that were patently obvious 3 years ago and we were called extremist hard right extremists and dangerous - dangerous! - for pointing it years ago, Alex.
Schumer talking about Joe is like the old guy in the memory unit telling you that the guy down the hall if bat-#### crazy…but not himself.
I didn’t get a harrumph outta that guy.
“...the president is “dependably engaged” between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.”
When Wilson was felled by a stroke in 1919, and pretty much controlled by his wife, nothing catastrophic could happen to the U.S. that required a President’s immediate action. Neither Canada nor Mexico were likely to attack and invade the U.S. We had a two-ocean buffer that had served the nation well since its beginning.
Things aren’t quite the same today. It’s why the 25th Amendment was passed. Very bad things an happen in a matter of minutes that require a functioning Presidential brain at say, 8 p.m.
How are we not staying out of the way?
