Just come across this. As the grandmother of a stutterer, I know how true this is. My little grandson can talk reasonably well much of the time but under any of the stressors mentioned here can barely get a word out. I know Biden has helped many young people with this disability by owning up to his own problem.
Knowing how Trump mocks those with disabilities I suspect this below was a deliberate strategy.
Joe Biden is a stutterer. Like many others, he has overcome the disability by understanding it and exercising extraordinary perseverence and discipline. If you know and love a stutterer and you watched the presidential debate last night, within minutes it became obvious what was going on. Abusive tone of voice, rapid fire interruptions, zigzagging change of topic, personal insult and humiliation, and family pain are all tripwires that scramble a stutterer's ability to speak. There was nothing unplanned or spontaneous in the President's strategy. The bastards did not prep him to attack Joe. They prepped him to attack Joe's disability hoping that by triggering his stuttering they might deceive an audience unfamiliar with the disability into thinking that Joe was stupid, weak, uncertain, confused, or lost to dementia
Well it didn’t work.
