In a recent press conference, Joe Biden’s performance left much to be desired. The President seemed confused from the get-go, referring to Donald Trump as his vice president and mixing up names left and right. It’s not a great look when the leader of the free world can’t even keep track of who his actual political opponents are.
Biden’s attempts to defend himself only made matters worse. Trying to explain away his need for an earlier bedtime as a sign of strength was a stretch, to say the least. Blaming his schedule on his wife’s supposed anger and not taking responsibility for his own actions paints a concerning picture of a man who should be in control of the country.
When challenged on his mental acuity, Biden grew defensive, adamantly denying any signs of slowing down. However, his struggle to read a pre-selected list of reporters and his overall disjointed answers only reinforced the doubts about his fitness for the job.

The press conference was riddled with awkward moments, culminating in Karine Jean-Pierre having to step in to end the chaos. Biden’s bizarre behavior, including whispering and smirking inappropriately, added to the spectacle.
Despite the attempts to spin the event positively, it’s clear that Biden’s performance was far from reassuring. With his credibility on shaky ground and his chances of re-election diminishing, it remains to be seen how the media will try to spin this debacle in his favor.
