July 20 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden's national security advisers say he's up to the job while former officials cast doubt on his ability to protect his legacy from Donald Trump.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs Chair C.Q. Brown at this week's Aspen Security Forum in Colorado insisted Biden is fully capable of steering the United States through a global landscape marked by fears of Russian and Chinese aggression.
"I am damn glad we have that guy sitting at the head of the table in the Situation Room," Sullivan said Friday in a press conference.
It's rare for national security officials to voice their opinions about domestic partisan politics, but growing Democratic concerns about Biden's fitness for office topped with the recent assassination attempt on Trump has made the topic virtually inevitable in national security discussions.
Sullivan, when pressed about Biden's acuity, pointed to his alert and engaged response to Iran's April 13 missile attack on Israel, which the United States helped fend off.
At that time, "you get to see in living color, in real time, the capacity of a commander-in-chief," Sullivan said.
Brown echoed Sullivan's testimony, saying "all the times I've been engaged with the president, he's been engaged."
But officials who previously sat in their roles were not optimistic about Biden's aptitude for a second term.

Biden Inauguration, a time of unity.
She even held his hand as she moved it stating he needed help with his signature.
What a fool's errand she was on. I think of that story every time I think of Jill Biden
Some interesting numbers are coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.
We discover there are 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, bonuses, and pensions.
Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With perks privileges bonuses and pensions.
As of May 23, 2023, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had some 10,100 special agents and approximately 35,000 support professionals: intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff is comprised of nearly 2,000 civilians and service members from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard—over 800 are civil servants on the govt payroll.
That all sounds alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll with the attendant eye-popping financial windfall, ending with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.
Let’s get Congress to check it out.

“National SECURITY Team” thinks the pervert is up for the job???? Scary. Just like Secret Service team was up for the job???
Up where????
What a spectacle the next 4 years would be as he deteriorated and only got meaner and nastier about it.
And that increases my sense of urgency to get Trump and Vance into office.
Even if old Sleepy Joe takes his golden parachute deal for declining the nomination, he would still stay on as the incompetent, angry old man in office. We are in danger.
At this point, who do these clowns think they are fooling? Biden’s incapacity has been demonstrated publicly for all the world to see.
They are patently just greedy to keep power in their own hands. People only go full Baghdad Bob when they know they have no credibility or reputations left to lose.
Darn! You are faster than me, I had a Baghdad Bob meme all ready to go.
“UP FOR?” or ‘UP TO?” (the job requires someone with a brain!)
And, the job is not a 10 to 4 day then take a week off.
We are being fooled into thinking that we have a President, ON THE JOB!
Trump needs to firs them all in January. Clearly not smart enough for the “intelligence “ community.
“...steering the United States through a global landscape marked by fears of Russian and Chinese aggression.”
Heck, YES! He’s good for 20 more years!
The powers of a president backed by his national security team, using his absolute immunity exercising his core function to defend his presidency against a bunch of turncoat traitors and self-aggrandizing grifters are immense. We know. The press and democrats have been prognosticating all the things that a president with such immunity might do in the face of a deepstate rebellion against said president.
Well Sullivan is an incompetent hack, so we shouldn’t be surprised
He won’t be alive for four more years. 😆
D-uh. Because without Joe Biden they’d all be rummaging through garbage cans with Madonna’s son looking for their next meal.
It is amazing the level of lies, deceit and treason one will go to in order to protect their job and power.
