OPINION:
We must all admit that our president is in the early stages of dementia. His wife tells him not to stray and where to stand; he exits the Rose Garden in the wrong direction; his handlers tell him to not take questions or go off-script. The Easter Bunny herds him away from onlookers and conversation at the annual Easter Egg Roll.
Most importantly, though, he frequently misspeaks, requiring Jen Psaki to tell us what he “meant” to say or what he really meant by what he did say. President Biden is required to interact with world leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin. It is very probable that one of his gaffes relative to a potential “minor incursion” by Russia led to the invasion of Ukraine and the loss of thousands of lives there.
Partisanship aside, how can we pretend that Mr. Biden’s diminished capacity is acceptable now, much less for another two years?
