I've been worried about President Biden for awhile. [View all]

But it’s not what people have been talking about. And I can be totally wrong about this.

First thing I don’t think he’s in cognitive decline. You saw him at the state of the union. You’ve seen him after the debate. I’d say he’s good on that part. I can’t explain the debate.

What I saw was a reflection of myself. Really bad days with back problems. I saw my walk and stiff shoulders. Sometimes I’m really not myself. A lot has been made out of his walking, getting up stairs, etc.. Watch me use the handrail I installed for my wife on a single step. Just because I walk slow now and hold on to something doesn’t mean I’m off mentally. I grab the first shopping cart I see to lean against. Up until a few years back I still had my fast walk going. To me the people who related his walk and stiffness to a mental decline are just wrong. I didn’t make fun of tfg having to be helped down the ramp. People get old. Tfg on the other hand has been and is still a threat to the entire country.

Anyways this is just something I feel. But don’t know.


Edit: when I saw President Biden walking, going up and down stairs I thought of the same things I do. But thanks to posts here I found out he has neuropathy in his feet.

I’ve have some but not bad enough to affect my gait. Just enough to cause some problems sleeping sometimes.
