I'm still not fully sure what to think about President Joe Biden's state of mind. I don't know whether he's pumped full of drugs or what, but he can seem to get a speech out now and then, and at other times, you're just watching him wandering aimlessly around a stage waiting for one of his handlers to get the hook. Dr. Jill Biden famously asked how many 30-year-olds could keep up with his schedule, and X uniformly answered, "All of them." It helps that Air Force One has a bedroom along with those baby steps in the back.
Some MSNBC clown wondered why we're always talking about Biden's age and not Donald Trump's. It's pretty obvious: Biden is president while Trump is not, and Trump can hold rally after rally speaking off the cuff.
My instincts tell me Biden is at some stage of dementia when he snaps in anger, which he did on the campaign trail and has done with journalists who are most certainly supporters of his. Sometimes the yelling is scripted in the teleprompter (I think), but it's still offputting when he starts shouting. And then there are the times he falls asleep — or is in deep contemplation.
ESPN host Sage Steele talked about interviewing Biden on Bill Maher's podcast:

The New York Post reports:
Former ESPN host Sage Steele said that interviewing President Biden was “the saddest thing” because he seemed confused and “couldn’t finish his sentences.”
“He struggled,” Steele said of the oldest president in US history, who “trailed off” on topics even then, more than two years ago.
“So forget about politics. I don’t care, I didn’t vote for him,” Steele told Bill Maher on his “Club Ransom” podcast Sunday, admitting she thinks Biden is “a terrible president.”
“However, that made me sad,” she said of his apparent confusion.
“The human aspect of what we’re witnessing right now, to me, is heartbreaking,” she said of the now-80-year-old president facing escalating pressure over his age and a series of gaffes as he runs to stay in office.
She's a better person than I am because I don't find it heartbreaking — it's nerve-wracking. We're stuck with the guy until at least January 2025 … or maybe not. In any case, he's got to go.
Polls show voters' biggest concern with Biden is his age, and that's something he can't do anything about. But watch him get another 81 million votes.
