Joe Biden trips 3 times going up Air Force One Steps today.

To question someone's 'mental health ' on the basis of falling up aircraft stairs and misnaming a colleague's status is ridiculous
I fell in Tesco's car park two weeks ago, quite spectacularly, I might add
Joe Biden is delivering $1400 the least wealthy.
This surely should be applauded

He is better than Trump!

Just seen a program that the local indigenous people are desperate for the gas .pipe line, it will provide work for thousands of them, many are living on the breadline. Biden seems to have caused problems at the Mexican Border, the economic migrants have taken him at his word and are becoming desperate to get in to the USA. The democrats have a history of choosing unsuitable candidates for president

Would you say that David Attenborough was intellectually challenged at that age?

Or Michelangelo.

Or John Glenn

OrSomerset Maugham

Many many others we could quote

Which is why Returnofthemc you wouldn’t want to be President of a powerful country at age 78. Let’s be honest, it’s beyond most of us at that age both mentally and physically.
He is indeed better than Trump, but any other candidate would be.I do hope that the Democrats and the Republicans choose somebody younger next time.
I was surprised that he openly called Putin ‘a killer’ the other day.

Look please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying he’s not a nice, kind family man. He’s struggling. Anyone can see that and I’m sorry (and a bit anxious) about the guy.

Yes, roll out his ‘achievements ‘. - he’s delivering on Democratic policies drawn up (? For him) after all. But my thread was to ask you do you really think this 78 year old is a safe pair of hands? Capable? Because, sorry, I don’t.

So, Urmstongran, you think it was okay for Russia to interfere in US elections? I imagine you think it was okay for them to interfere in the Referendum too then. Are we to do nothing to stop this?

Don't you think the Russian foreign ministry has their own game to play? What a weird idea to use this to try and show Biden up as less competent. I wish Johnson was only as "incompetent" and knowledgable as him. His pratfalls have certainly weakened us abroad.

His career choice. Nobody twisted his arm to take the job.

The transcript of his interview on ABC television was revealing. And worrying. Here it is:

“Even the friendliest media have noted that Biden is the first President in a century to not give a press conference in his first month in office.

On Wednesday, his press secretary Jen Psaki announced that Biden would finally hold a press conference on 25th March. The ABC interview will not have reassured his advisors.

Stephanopoulus pitched the gentlest of underarm lobs – “You think he’s a killer?” – and Biden swung and missed: “Uh-huh. I do.”

When Stephanopoulos asked how Biden would make Putin “pay”, Biden floundered. The transcript reads like a man trying to remove his foot from his mouth.

“The price he's gonna pay we'll – you'll see shortly. I'm not gonna – there's – by the way, we oughta be able that ol' – that trite expression ‘walk and chew gum at the same time’, there're places where it's in our mutual interest to work together.”

A Trump supporter is concerned that Biden isn't a safe pair of hands.

Ok.....

Portray him as "struggling" as much as you like. To use your own words UG, just wait and see.

Just seen the clip on TV, he looks like he's doing a Charlie Chaplin impersonation, what a show he has made of himself and America.

Agreed PippaZ , how terribly sad

He made a show of himself and America because he fell over

Donald must have greased the stairs

Good grief it’s like witches stirring the cauldron what do some of you sound like? rubbing your hands in glee ‘oh he had a trip up’ rub hands again ‘keep watching he might do something else wrong’
He seems to have started some good work give the bloke a chance for crying out loud
What is the matter with some of you
You can taste the negativity

It's been obvious for some time to anyone with eyes that Biden is in the early stages of dementia. He slurs his words, he can't remember the name of the Secretary of State for Defence or the Pentagon, he can barely follow an autocue, he can't answer questions from the press, he frequently appears not to know what he's doing or who anyone is and now we see he is extremely unstable on his feet.

You just have to compare his speeches from just 4 years ago to his speeches now to see that something is badly amiss - low energy doesn't begin to describe it. It's incredibly frightening to think that this is the man who is leading the free world.

I genuinely do not think Biden is up to the job, even though he’s a gentle and kind man who has known a lot of personal heartbreak. It’s just so awful watching him. I’m nervous for him anticipating his next slip up.

I’m not talking about Democratic policies here BlueBell although PippaZ and WWmk2 plus others tried to derail it in that direction.

^He seems to have started some good work give the bloke a chance for crying out loud

I’m questioning his competency.
Not his politics.

As someone with dyspraxia, he has my sympathy. This kind of verbal mix up, is not uncommon with dyspraxia. I am renown in my family for mixing my words. That may well be his problem because I think these slip-ups. and misuse of words has been a feature in his life from quite early in his career.

Biden was the preferred Democratic candidate for President from, to be honest, a pretty mediocre bunch, but he was chosen and elected and since everyone saw his slip ups, of both kinds before the election, but still thought they would rather have him than Trump again, I cannot see what all the fuss is about.

He has also chosen a very competent Vice-President who is mroe than capable of taking over if anything happens to him. I think that was a deliberate choice.

Lets stop worrying about his age and trips, there is nothing anyone can do about them and concentrate on his decisions. When his decisions get irrational is the time to worry

I cannot believe anybody saying bring back Trump. Why?

What do you feel about how he incited his followers to storm the capitol ? Is that making A G A ?

Urmston, my dad had dementia, it is, indeed, an incedibly cruel disease and not something to be bandied about lightly
I wish that you would think carefully about the things you say

I am feeling a strong sense of deja vu - remember this?

If you were criticising his politics UG that would be reasonable and acceptable.

Questioning his mental state is not.
