In a Truth Social post published on Sunday, former President Trump claimed that while President Biden is 79 years old, he is actually “one of the oldest 79s in history.”
President Biden is one of the oldest 79-year-olds in history, but it does not make him an old guy, said Trump. Many folks in their 80s and even 90s are still competent and intelligent.
It has little to do with age, but Biden is not one of them. Life actually starts at 80!
If Trump were to run for and win the president in 2024, he would be 76 and turn 80 during his second term.
There have been rumours that even Biden staff members have expressed worry about their boss’s advanced age.
According to aides quoted in a New York Times article published on Sunday, Biden has lost energy and now shuffles as he walks, raising concerns that he could fall over wires.
Employees admitted to holding their breath throughout Biden’s speeches in order to see if he makes it to the end without making a mistake.
Democratic strategists have also expressed worries that Biden running for a second term could be “unwise,” given that he would be 86 by the time it concluded.
Since before he was elected, Biden, the oldest president in the history of the United States, has faced criticism for both his physical and mental health.
During events during his presidency, he has made a number of mistakes, notably on Friday when it appeared like he was reading off a teleprompter.
He lost control of his bike last month while riding close to his Delaware beach house, and after the accident, he hopped around to show he wasn’t hurt.
Staff members reportedly shuddered at the attention the bike fall tale garnered, and several argued the president is still intelligent and inquisitive, according to The Times.
Biden’s health is allegedly a “delicate topic” in the White House, according to aides.
Biden is cognitively focused on his duty as president, according to more than a dozen current and former senior officials and advisers, who “uniformly reported” this.
He grills his staff about contentious issues at meetings, they claimed, and works with them to strengthen speech flaws.
They also mentioned Biden’s deteriorating energy levels and greater propensity for stumbling or falling, saying he now appears to be older than he did in prior years.
According to a study by Very Well Health, persons over 65 are more likely to slip and fall, with many of these accidents being brought on by an inappropriate shift in body weight.
According to the CDC, falls are not a natural part of getting older and can be avoided by removing trip risks and engaging in balance and strength training.
Despite concerns from certain staff members about Biden’s physical security during public engagements, his team claims no extra arrangements have been made for the president.
In fact, Dr. Kevin C. O’Connor, Biden’s doctor, said in November that the 78-year-old was “a healthy, energetic male who is fit to properly fulfil the duties of the presidency.”
Biden’s atrial fibrillation was disclosed in his medical report, however it was stated that it was “stable and asymptomatic.”
According to the study, his “ambulatory gait is perceptibly stiffer and less fluid than it was a year or so ago,” and due to gastroesophageal reflux, he constantly coughs and clears his throat.
Trump dealt with similar concerns about his age and health throughout his lone term in office, and if he decides to run for government again in 2024, he’ll probably have to deal with an additional barrage of rumours and innuendo.
The former president stated on numerous occasions that he “aced” a cognitive test throughout the 2020 election.
In April, during a speech at a Heritage Foundation retreat in Florida, Trump boasted once more about passing the cognitive test and declared he would prefer to be a dictator to a “stupid guy.”
Regarding how Democrats and the media characterized him, Trump stated, “First they said not too smart.” Then, though, they turned me into a despot.
Which would you choose to be: an idiot or a tyrant? A dictator could be preferable. I’m not interested in becoming a moron.
He lamented the lack of calls for applying the 25th Amendment to President Biden in the same way they did to him following the Capitol riot on January 6.
He informed the throng, “They don’t think about the 25th amendment out now.”
They would bring up the 25th Amendment whenever I had a brilliant thought, saying, “There’s something wrong with him.”
That’s why I took the aptitude test, which, according to Doc Ronny, I aced,’ Jackson, a former White House doctor who is now a member of Congress, said.
Even some of the geniuses in the room won’t perform very well on that test, Trump continued. It’s not an easy test, I’ll tell you that much.
Trump participated in a dementia screening assessment called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
Biden has been urged by Republicans to take a comparable test on numerous occasions.
Rep. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former physician, issued a letter to the White House on the subject in February that had the support of 37 other Republicans.
Biden’s mental toughness has been a point of contention for the White House. In response to a query on the president’s mental stamina from CNN’s Don Lemon in June, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre laughed.
Just observe the work he produces. And take a look at what he’s doing for the American people,” she continued.
