The TV confrontation with Donald Trump was a real Caporetto for Joe Biden, enough to push the Democrats to some reflections on the hypothesis of changing “horses” four months before the presidential elections. For the moment the outgoing president remains the candidate, but the indiscretions about the health of the eighty-one-year-old are rapidly multiplying, who already in recent months had given signals that were anything but encouraging regarding his lucidity. The gaffes, the blunders, the blackouts: alarms underestimated by the left, now more in difficulty than ever. But not only that.
The cognitive decline Biden would in fact be got worse exponentially in recent months. In addition, several people close to the head of the White House have witnessed at least 15-20 occasions similar to what the country saw during last week’s presidential debate in just a year and a half. This is what the journalist revealed Carl Bernstein to CNN: “These are people, many of whom are very close to President Biden, who loved him, who supported him, and among them are some people who would have raised a lot of money for him. And they firmly believe that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden that we saw, is not an isolated case.”
Biden loses the thread of his speeches and can’t get back on track, it’s clear by now. And that’s no small problem if you’re the president of the United States of America. In addition, videos of the president “frozen” in public have gone viral, as if he were completely disoriented. And no, it wasn’t a “deep fake,” as White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre had speculated. Biden sometimes appears at his best, as he did in his address to the nation in reaction to the Supreme Court’s partial immunity ruling on Trump’s legal cases, but these are sporadic episodes: it’s impossible not to notice the marked incidence of cognitive decline and physical infirmity, in what appears to be a worrying alternation between moments of lucidity and dark moments.
