As the political theater unfolds, one can’t help but chuckle at the Democrats, twisting in the wind over the growing revelations about President Biden’s alleged mental decline. Observers are left to wonder if they’re watching a political drama or the latest reality show. Jen Psaki, the former White House Press Secretary, recently took center stage in this episode, insisting she’d never witnessed any signs of Biden’s mental faltering during her time in the Oval Office. She claims she missed the show that many Americans believe they watched unfold in real-time.
Commentators have pointed out that the mere suggestion of a cover-up could be a danger—not to the public, but to those desperately clinging to power. Psaki’s discomfort with the term “cover-up” is almost comedic. After all, when one sees something suspicious, yet pretends otherwise, they can hardly complain when others call them out on it. Perhaps it’s time for a reality check for those who perpetually insist the emperor is fully dressed.
The media circus has been quick to highlight the stark contrast between President Biden’s often sluggish demeanor and former President Trump’s high-energy workdays. Trump, known for his relentless 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM grind, seemed to thrive on the chaos of the presidency. Biden, on the other hand, seems to struggle just getting off his bike or navigating stairs. Truth be told, when a president makes decisions with the potential to lead the country into World War III, the stakes are high. The American people deserve assurance that he is up to the task, mentally and physically.
Some books offer a glimpse behind the curtain, claiming Biden’s inner circle was small and that they intentionally limited his public exposure. If this wasn’t a giant red flag for the former Press Secretary, it surely should have been. These revelations beg the question of what exactly Psaki—and by extension, the American public—was shielded from. It seems the people are being asked to suspend disbelief, as if living in an alternate world where Biden’s mental sharpness only exists in footnotes.
As the story unfolds, one can’t help but feel a sense of elder abuse—a term tossed around with a mix of sincerity and sarcasm. The role of those close to Biden, including First Lady Jill Biden, comes into sharp focus. Importantly, her role prompts intense scrutiny and, for some, claims of betrayal. In the end, if the President’s mental fitness was indeed compromised, and certain factions knew about it, the American public stands as the ultimate victim of this grand act of political theater. As the curtain on this drama lifts, transparency, something akin to a new era, is hopefully on the horizon.
