President Joe Biden’s attempts to enjoy a relaxing break from his stumbling reelection campaign were rudely interrupted by pesky questions about his age. And boy oh boy, did he snap! When a Fox News reporter had the audacity to ask if concerns about his age and ability to serve a second term were legitimate, Biden couldn’t help but shout, “That’s stupid!” Oh, Joe, you never fail to entertain us with your charm and grace.
But let’s talk about those concerns, shall we? It’s no secret that Biden’s age has become a thorny issue for his reelection campaign. The White House has pulled out all the stops to prevent him from taking another public tumble. They’ve gifted him with special sneakers that have extra grip, and he now boards Air Force One using a miniature set of stairs. It’s like watching a toddler navigate an obstacle course. Come on, Joe, we all know you’re the real-life Mr. Magoo.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been working overtime to convince us that everything is hunky-dory. She’s been spouting off about consistent polling that supposedly shows Americans, including Democrats, aren’t exactly thrilled about the idea of Biden going for round two. But let’s not forget that these polls can be as reliable as a squirrel on roller skates. Jean-Pierre even had the audacity to claim that the press corps can’t keep up with Biden’s daily schedule. I mean, come on, Karine, we can see right through that one. Biden’s daily schedule probably includes napping, searching for his lost train of thought, and forgetting where he left his dentures.
Of course, there’s no shortage of material for our friends in the Republican National Committee and the ever-observant Donald Trump to ridicule. Biden’s mispronunciations and moments of spacing out are practically a daily occurrence. I can just picture Trump sitting in his golden tower, giggling like a mischievous imp as he watches Biden struggle to speak and find the exit after a speech. “Walking on toothpicks,” Trump quipped. The man may be gone from the White House, but his sense of humor is alive and kicking.
At the end of the day, it’s clear that Biden’s age is a legitimate concern. Even Jake Tapper had to admit it, citing a poll showing that a whopping 77 percent of Americans are worried about Biden’s mental acuity. But let’s not dwell on the negatives, shall we? We can find solace in the fact that Biden provides us with an endless source of entertainment. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got my popcorn ready for the next stumble, bumble, and fumble. Who needs reality TV when we have Joe Biden in the Oval Office?
