White House aides covered up President Biden’s apparent mental decline from Day 1 of his presidency, shielding the aging commander-in-chief from the public and even rearranging his schedule after scatterbrained performances, an explosive report revealed Thursday.
The lack of access to the nation’s oldest-ever president has been well known in Washington — with Biden hosting the fewest large press conferences in modern history and frequently descending into gaffes at the podium when he appeared — but how much the White House made up for the haziness had until now been hidden, according to aides, Democratic lawmakers and donors who spoke with the Wall Street Journal.
Presidential staff formed a tight shell around Biden, 82, right after he took office amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff immediately limiting his in-person interactions in January 2021.
But staffers also began making adjustments to daily plans when the president appeared tired or kept stumbling on the world stage — both figuratively and literally.
By spring 2021, meetings were being rescheduled to accommodate for his “good days and bad days.” *** Once inside the room with the president, officials were instructed to make their briefings short and to the point. Private discussions with even some of his top cabinet picks, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, grew more infrequent.
One cabinet official eventually stopped reaching out to schedule talks with the commander in chief after having been repeatedly rebuffed, an ex-aide revealed.

*** Other staffers removed negative reports from Biden’s stack of news for the day, misleading him about the public’s opinion of his job performance — which reached a 70-year low in 2024.

I’ve been saying since day one that Biden is the Manchurian president. However, I will not drone on about this.
Every single one of us in this form knew he was on a mental decline all day, one. The only thing that I was surprised by was how long they could keep it under wraps.
Paging Captain Obvious.
They convinced gullible people that it wasn't true.
He campaigned from his basement for a reason.
Exactly.
The 2020 election was the greatest fraud in US presidential history. Everyone, I mean everyone, in the democrat party knew Joe was entering dementia.
Exhibit A is the full 20 minute Corn Pop video
Dr. Jill is evil.
Not an excuse -- but Lloyd Austin went into the hospital for awhile and apparently didn't tell the White House. He probably figured that there wasn't anyone to tell.
They did a bad job hiding it if you cared to look.
Rat Party Headquarters knew it...from Day One. But it didn’t matter because: Orange Man Bad.
Well, he was useful to them for signing leftist edicts that they shoved in front of him.
Did not need him to be aware of much, and they had the magic drug cocktail to shoot him up when really necessary.
I wonder who did all these pardons.
Obama’s goons were ALWAYS running the country, Biden just fit the suit
I’m pretty sure it was Bathhouse Barry.
Along with Hitlery and Big Mike.
...EXPLOSIVE !!!
Exactly.
This 80 yr old had probably 2 full Facelift twice since 2016 .
You can see his facelift scars on that rattlesnake face .
Going under Anesthesia at that age causes dementia.
Everyone knew DR Evil was in charge .
The home wrecker CCP puppet okayed the Afghanistan disaster .
That has been verified many times .
She hired the SS Bull Dyke that tried to get Trump killed .
She is a nightmare to work for according to the few
white she has left in the Pentagon .
Clearly we have had no POTUS. Decision, actions, proclamations, all have been the product of several close staff members - Jake Sullivan, mostly.
absolutely contrary to the US Constitution.
You could tell he was in mental decline when he ran in 2020. Nothing new in this news.
