Help for Joe Biden to Stay Presidential

Old age is clearly taking hold of US President Joe Biden and hobbling his run for the presidency, The New York 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 [V]olodymyr [Z]elensky 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 wifey Jill’s finger during a campaign event.

 

According to Garrett Ziegler, a self-described researcher and a former Trump White House staffer, “that empty stare and the open mouth are signs that Joey has lost a step or two or five or six. His synapses have got to be fried”.

 

However, that hasn’t stopped members of Biden’s inner circle from making the kinds of adjustments that help keep Biden looking presidential. 

 

There are the aforementioned teleprompters which hand-hold him through many public appearances.

 

And stabilizing shoes reduce the likelihood of an unsightly spill. First it was Hokas – the Asia-manufactured sneakers that are built for comfort and balance control – and now, according to Ziegler, “he’’s wearing sneakers that look like dress shoes. He should have gone for those from the start and never wore the shoes with the rounded soles”.

 

Some potential helpers, according to Ziegler are less obvious than others. “His home butts up to Christiana Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Delaware”, said Ziegler of a facility that is actually a few miles away from Biden’s Delaware digs and ranks among the top healthcare facilities in the United States. 

 

“If they want to be discreet, doctors can easily go from the hospital to the house. There are no visitor logs; so nobody knows who goes in and out. And he goes home more often than [Trump] goes to [his Florida home] Mar-a-Lago”.

 

Speaking of Biden and his need for health-related accommodations, Ziegler pointed out, “This is not just an 81-year-old. He’s an 81-year-old with two aneurysms in his history”.
