Fresh Concerns Raised After Joe Biden Makes an Absolute Mess of Things in Meeting With UK PM Rishi Sunak

The massive fall Joe Biden took one week ago today during an Air Force commencement ceremony sparked more concerns about the 80-year-old President’s fitness to lead, happening at a very inconvenient time for Biden’s reelection campaign considering his (and the media’s) goal for the next 18 months will be to gaslight people into thinking he’s just fine.

But if Biden’s over-worked handlers thought they could spend the days after the alarming incident credibly assuring voters that our octogenarian president is steady on his feet and mentally sharp, Biden himself burst that bubble fairly quickly, having to be directed everywhere he went Friday during a D.C. Marine Barracks parade while at times moving very slowly, and then shaking hands with thin air (again) during the Kansas City Chiefs’ visit to the White House on Monday.

And on Wednesday, Biden proceeded to embarrass himself and this country once again, making rambling remarks during a White House appearance alongside U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who he first incorrectly referred to as “Mr. President” before rambling on about the Truman Balcony and forgetting the name of one of Britain’s most well-known PMs, Winston Churchill. Also, take note of Biden’s heavy reliance on the cheat sheet of notes:

As a reminder, Biden once referred to Sunak as “Rashid Sanook”:

Biden forgetting the name of Winston Churchill was reminiscent of another cringe moment involving another world leader, then-Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison, whose name the POTUS couldn’t remember during a virtual meeting with Morrison and then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in September 2021.

Instead of referring to Morrison by name, which is the standard operating procedure during these things, a symbol of respect, Biden appeared to forget the Aussie PM’s name.

“Thank you, Boris. And I want to thank that fella down under. Thank you very much, pal. Appreciate it, Mr. Prime Minister,” Biden said to Morrison, smiling as he turned back to face the camera to finish the remainder of his prepared remarks.

In response to the latest round of “What will Joe say next?,” TV commentator Piers Morgan wrote that “His physical and cognitive issues appear to be worsening,” which in my opinion is a strong contender for understatement of the year.

Just a few months ago, Biden told an interviewer that anyone who had questions about his health should “Watch me” over the next several months of his reelection campaign.

Trust me, Mr. President – they are. And they are very, very concerned.
