Call it the “Grandpa Simpson” presidency.
Oldest-ever commander-in-chief Joe Biden this week gave the world some memorable mega-senioౠr moments — and added yet more fuel to concerns he’s simply too feeble for a second term.
At a joint UN speech, Biden went through a silent-movie comedy routine with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, walking smack into a giant flag as he entered and then fumbling with his tr♏anslation headset as Lula spoke.
This prompted a question every American will sympathize with: “Can you hear me, President Bi𒁃den?”
And Jo♓e capped it all by shaking hands with the wrong man and snubbing Lula before bumbling blithely off stage.
Then it was off to campaign land, where he wowed listeners at a swanky party by repeating the same story about the 2017 Charlottesville riot prompt😼ing his decision to run against Donald Trump nearly word-for-word, mere minutes apart.
Preওtty sure that’s the definition of “doddering.”
And it’s hard to say whether it’s funny or saꦛd.
Especially since these fl🗹ubs are only the latest in an endless series of malaprops, miscues and meanderings that have X commentators snarking and Dems on a definite edge.
Biden’s 80; if he runs and wins, he’ll be 82 wh💞🐠en he starts his second term.
If he’s thi🎃s gaga now, what’s he going to be like then? Or halfway through term two?
Yes, there’s something comic about his blunders.&ꦉnbsp;
But he’s auditioning for the ꦫmost powerful job in the world, and mental acuity s🎐hould be a key factor.
Voters by and large know this: Per a recent , some 73% of registered voters (and a sh🌄ocking two-thirds of Demꦬs) say he’s too old to run again.
Typically, the only ones who can’t or won’t adm🥃it this are Biden’🗹s various press lapdogs (but what else is new?).
Then again, maybe we’re being too harsh and the prez can turn it all around — oh, no, wait: We’re getting word that President ꦚBiden h꧂as confused the Congressional Hispanic Caucus with the Congressional Black Caucus.
Bring on the sad trombone …
