On the important 80th anniversary of D-Day, former President Donald Trump took time to speak with veterans, showing his respect for their service. He chatted with a World War II vet on a Zoom call and expressed gratitude, promising to see him in the White House in January. This moment highlighted Trump’s connection with the military and his appreciation for America’s history.
In contrast, President Joe Biden attended the anniversary event in Normandy, appearing tired and somewhat unsteady. In videos from the ceremony, Biden seemed to struggle to stay alert, leading some to question his ability to serve effectively. His early departure from the event left some feeling disappointed, especially as he missed an opportunity to honor veterans alongside other world leaders.

The optics were not in Biden’s favor, as he was caught on video momentarily losing his balance during the ceremony, leaving those around him looking unsure. This incident added to the growing doubts about his fitness for the presidency and raised concerns about a potential second term.
During his time in Normandy, Biden used the platform to criticize what he called a rising trend of isolationism in the U.S. and worldwide. This rhetoric seemed to be a veiled jab at his predecessor, Donald Trump, and his “America First” policies. Biden emphasized the importance of global cooperation and the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War II.
However, Biden’s departure from the event and recent reports of concerns about his mental sharpness behind closed doors have cast a shadow over his presidency. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have privately expressed worries about his cognitive abilities, with some feeling that he is not the same as before. These revelations underscore the importance of having a leader who is capable and reliable in times of crisis.
