The Wall Street Journal has been dancing in the spotlight since dragging the current administration’s mental fitness into the limelight. Just a couple of months before President Biden faced the devastating fallout of a debate against Donald Trump, the Journal laid out the concerns from congressional members hinting at Biden’s mental decline. It seems the carefully crafted PR facade manufactured by the White House has been thoroughly dismantled, showcasing that the mainstream media’s fear of aiding Trump has left them blind to doing their jobs.
With the focus on Biden’s mental clarity, those little slip-ups that the legacy media often turned a blind eye to became hard to ignore. Initially, Biden’s allies and aides were able to spin his disjointed remarks into something resembling coherence in private discussions, but as time went on, this facade crumbled. Even foreign leaders grew increasingly wary, likening Biden’s mental lapses to those seen in their aging relatives. The Journal outlines this unfortunate trajectory of the Biden administration, documenting the spin from his communications team trying to keep this ship from sinking. Shockingly, Nancy Pelosi had to swoop in to salvage Biden’s ramblings during an infrastructure push, a clear indication that even Democrats were taken aback by what they witnessed.

Biden’s reputation as a foreign policy guru took a nosedive after the debate, with many Democrats left reeling from his performance. It wasn’t just the national embarrassment; it was the concern that buzzed quietly among officials who typically had little direct interaction with him. The centralized power play by Biden’s team left many senior officials in the dark and concerned about the president’s rapidly deteriorating skills. Even European dignitaries started to notice during a G-7 video call when Biden flubbed his agenda in a forgetful haze—something no one should expect from the leader of the free world.
As the months wore on, whispers turned into muffled conversations among Democrats about Biden’s condition. Observations from summer fundraisers painted an unsettling picture, with Biden showing signs of confusion and disorientation, not exactly the confidence booster donors were hoping for. During what should have been morale-boosting moments, Biden’s repetitive anecdotes only added to the growing unease. Conversations about cognitive decline crept into discussions among lawmakers after several close encounters of mediocrity at White House events and legislative gatherings. Democrats, usually supportive of their leader, found themselves questioning if Biden had the stamina to continue carrying the party’s banner into the next election cycle.
In a bid to quell the concerns, the president’s team tried to dress up Biden’s age as a seasoned asset, with his campaign touting comparisons to other older icons still working in Hollywood. However, nothing could bury the reality of his lackluster interactions at key meetings involving NATO discussions, where his intellect seemed to fade towards the end. By the end of the year, Democratic donors that had previously shown support were pulling back, with many expressing concern that the President had shifted from a reliable leader to an awkward, disoriented shadow of himself.
The sense of doom engulfing Biden’s camp became even clearer following the Republican National Convention and after his re-election announcement. With funds running dry and the base swelling with dissent, Biden’s re-entry into the campaign began to feel more like a reluctant venture instead of an energized bid for the presidency. The mounting pressure from party members and donors, coupled with the anemic polling figures trailing Trump in critical battleground states, forced him to make the unthinkable decision to exit the race. The reality is that not only has the man failed to lead effectively, but there’s now uncertainty over who is even in charge of the executive branch as whispers of chaos swirl in the background.
