The Flashcard Presidency: Biden’s Aides Scramble to Diffuse Narrative That He’s a Total Mess<\/a><\/p>\nJoe Biden collapsed at the US Air Force Academy\u2019s commencement, an event that even his aides privately worked to ensure never happened again. They\u2019ve developed a plan to make the president look vigorous and mentally sound to conduct his duties as president. And yet, the man devolved into a mumbling, soporific mess during his White House meeting\/photo-op with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.<\/p>\n
NBC News had a lengthy piece about the Biden staff\u2019s protocol to keep the president looking spry in the public\u2019s view. As it was in 2020, the main concern is that Biden is both too old and too senile to be president. That narrative has grown as more public episodes of mental degeneration have presented themselves. Though buried in the piece, Biden\u2019s staff and a former cabinet secretary, Marty Walsh, tried to relay how Joe is still working into the late night hours and how if you hugged him, you\u2019ll see he\u2019s healthy like a rhino. The problem is the piece goes give the impression that Biden\u2019s aides know a mental foul-up is bound to occur again. The man will stumble even with flashcards to remind him to make certain points during meetings and speeches and a shorter staircase to Air Force One to ensure he doesn\u2019t fall.<\/p>\n
