Joe Biden looks tired and exhausted — here are the tricks his team is using to obscure his blunders

Old age is clearly taking hold of President Biden and hobbling his run for the presidency, The Post has learned.

Even serious accommodations that have been made for the 81-year-old — such as note cards at fundraisers, cheat sheets to keep his thoughts straight and crowds from his inner circle who surround him to distract attention from a stiff gait — fail to hide the deterioration that comes with age.

It became all too clear on Thursday night when he referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as his Russian adversary Vladimir Putin and Vice President Kamala Harris as his own opponent, Donald Trump.

Some of those who observe him and have encountered him, even his supporters, can no longer overlook his gaffes and failures, which have included mis-reads on the teleprompter and one bizarre moment in which he nipped at Jill’s finger during a campaign event.

I forgot bit put Jill's finger. Plus, I would love to sit down with Jill's first husband and listen to the stories from the 70s.

Was it my imagination, or did Biden then introduce him as Alinsky?

The Post has learned

Dear Post we knew this 4 years ago.

Please. There are no tricks.

There was a vast left-wing cabal of enablers, media, groomers, elder abusers, consultants, and other losers who pushed a Dead Parrot Sketch narrative.

True, Bidet usually rises to the occasion when he’s angry and full of hate. But everyone knew there was a bigly chance he’d unravel even if you ran 10,000 volts thru him.

He’s been a sock puppet for a long time. We pointed it out. But, for YEARS they’ve misdirected, lied, and harassed anyone pointing out Bidet’s mental defects.

“It isn’t dementia. He stutters…”.

“Hey, Trump stumbles and gets names wrong, too…”.

“He’s pining for the fjords.”

And other lies.

At the debate, the whole planet saw what we called out.

Ruh roh.

Rather than the DNC, media, leftists, NeverTrumpers, and other similar losers face the heat and daggers accompanying the “how in the Wide World of Sports did you NOT see this possible outcome?” commentary, they are hoping the splatter from demanding a replacement and throwing Bidet under the bus blinds people to their complicity in selling us a parrot that’s stone dead.

The good news for lovers of liberty, is that Bidet has adopted the Ruth Bader Ginsberg/you’ll have to carry me out in a box before I quit mindset.

These people would sell their dead Mom for power. And they’ve been caught. This is glorious.

And now for something completely different.

Does Biden want to stay as President because he has an all-consuming desire to help and serve the American people?

Does Biden want to stay as President because he wants to continue to steal from The American Taxpayers and he’s afraid his crimes will be discovered and prosecuted if he no longer controls the presidency and The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate?

Age is not Joey’s problem. His walk, or gait, isn’t due to age. He has something physically or mentally wrong with him. Old people without dementia or Parkinson’s may walk slower but they don’t shuffle.

“he’s afraid his crimes will be discovered and prosecuted if he no longer controls the presidency”

Joe Biden can fly off to Ireland with Jill and resign the presidency from there.

Ireland will not extradite him to the USA.

[Indy Pendance]

He wants to remain president because he was told to. His people and the deep state have too much to lose with President Trump.

[Bonemaker]

They are trying to kill Joe with the schedule. I get exhausted just hearing about it.

From what I’ve seen of images of Biden, it looks to me if he had a stroke or suddenly something else a few months ago.

MY FIL is 81 and walks just fine. Still sharpe as a tack.

[Gaffer]

He moves, talks and responds like at least a diminishing 90 year old, IMO.

[MCSETots]

Are you suggesting that FJB is nearly bereft of life???

[Brian Griffin]

“They are trying to kill Joe with the schedule.”

They’re just undermining him through incompetence or treachery.

[Diogenesis]

[DoodleBob]

Nearly is the operative word. Yes.

Perhaps a better analogy is that he doesn’t want to go on the cart, and a ton of Dems are saying “oh, don’t be such a baby.”

[alloysteel]

Joe Biden has lost whatever little swagger he had in earlier years, and would benefit from full-time use of some kind of walker. I would suggest an UPWalker walking aid.

The Democrat party has ruined our system of governance.

The American people are meant to select the “best” people to run our various levels of government.

The “best” person would be honest, intelligent, hard-working, unbiased and dedicated to providing the most efficient and effective use out of every hard-earned American Taxpayer provided dollar.

The Democrat party has instead become an organized crime syndicate.

It is run by Bosses of Democrat Crime Families who see our various levels of government as a means to increase the wealth of their Democrat Crime Families. They see no personal gain in providing the most efficient and effective use of every hard-earned American Taxpayer provided dollar, so they are not concerned about that.

They lie, cheat, steal, bully, terrorize, conduct lawfare, spread propaganda and physically harm anyone who tries to stop their criminal enterprise.

Like all criminal syndicates, they promise the moon to those who support them while delivering peanuts and relying on their gullibility.

I have known a couple people with Parkinsons and he walks jst like them.

I knew these people before Parkinson’s and it was so obvious when it all started to go wrong for them.

Dementia patients progress fairly quickly and I can say one thing because my mother had it.

They do not improve and eventually they just exist inside themselves and become unresponsive for the most part. A small band actually marched down the hallway at the facility she was at and she did not wake.

I always felt that I lost her a couple years before she died.

Biden can’t maintain his present pace. He will burn out. He can’t campaign from his basement like he did in 2020. Every appearance on the campaign trail will be a high wire act with no net. Let’s hope Joe stays in.
