A new book says that Joe Biden’s assistants intended that the 81-year-old president had conducted a cognitive experiment to prove his mental extent-but eventually decided to harm his advertising.
In the upcoming book 2024: How Trump Return the White House and the Democrats lost America, Authors – Tyler Pager New York TimesJosh Daws of Wall Street Journal And Isaac Arnesf of Washington Post – It became clear a few months before the president delayed his performance in 2024.
Although his assistants passed some of the tests, some of the fact that his Norix is experimenting could raise concerns about his mental clarity based on the book obtained by the country. New York TimesHuman
Biden’s team discussed this in February 2024-in the same month when Robert Hoor described his special adviser as “a compassionate, talented man, having a weak memory” and in his report on the use of Biden’s classified documents. After the report was released, the president insisted “my memory is good.”
But months later, the world was concerned about Biden’s mental fitness after its debates against Donald Trump.
Following Biden’s performance in the first discussion, donors, media agents, editorial boards and some Democrats called on the president to leave the 2024 competition. Trump lied 30 times in the 90 -minute discussion, a CNN reality review at the time. It was still all the eyes of Biden. Later in the same month, the president left the match.
Even before the discussion, Trump, though only three years older than his Democratic rival, was often played in Biden’s cognitive capabilities on the path of election campaigns both 2020 and 2024.
In 2020, Trump was levied on a cognitive test. In an interview, he was proud of his memorial from five words: “Person, woman, man, camera, TV.”
He claimed that the experiment is usually difficult for others, though not for him: “If you receive it in order, you get extra points. [The doctor] Said nobody tidy it, it’s not that easy, but it was easy for me. “
In 2022, some prominent Democrats were concerned about San Biden, citing his frequent gaps and falls.
David Axelrud, the main strategist of Barack Obama’s Cars, to Times At that time: “The presidency is a monster tax task, and the obvious reality is that the president will be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of the second term, and this will be an important issue.”
Although he praised Biden for “returning deceit” to the White House, the adoption of significant rules and guidance of the country through the Coveid-19 epidemic, Axelrud said he did not receive the credit he deserves because of his understanding. “He looks age and is not agile in front of the camera, and this narrative has fed competence that is not rooted in reality,” he said.
