White House aides covered up President Biden’s apparent mental decline from Day 1 of his presidency, shielding the aging commander-in-chief from the public and even rearranging his schedule after scatterbrained performances, an explosive report revealed Thursday.

joe biden mental health news: Biden’s apparent mental decline hidden by White House from the start? Bombshell report reveals cover-up tactics - The Economic Times - 19 December, 2024 10:53 AM -8 GMT
A bombshell report has revealed that White House aides hid President Joe Biden's apparent mental decline from day 1 of the presidency. Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. Private discussions with the President became less frequent and a voice coach was also hired.

Joe Biden’s decline called most ‘under-covered’ story of 2024 | Joe Biden | The Guardian - Mon 30 Dec 2024 13.31 EST - "CBS correspondent Jan Crawford castigates US journalists for not digging deeper into Biden’s alleged loss of acuity"
CBS reporter Jan Crawford:
Crawford castigated fellow journalists for not shedding light much earlier on the effect of ageing on the now 82-year-old Biden’s prowess.

“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” she said. “It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”

Crawford also voiced astonishment over recent reporting – disclosed in a profile in the Washington Post about Biden’s reflections on his presidency – suggesting that he regretted abandoning his campaign and believed he would have beaten Trump in last month’s poll.

“Yet still – incredibly – we read in the Washington Post that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, [and] that he thinks he could have beaten Trump. And I think that is either delusional or they’re gaslighting the American people,” she said.

The claim that Joe Biden's (alleged) decline was most "under-covered story" of 2024, belongs in the greatest hundred jokes of all time. The media was continuously reporting the tiniest mistake or seeming mistake (because some of it relies on interpretation) of Biden, while at same time not reporting glaring inadequacies of Trump. Maybe more media pressure should have been put on Biden, but media pressure should have been on Trump and in massive amounts to reflect the massive deficiencies of Trump.

He beat Trump once so it is quite possible that he could have done it again, because a main reason Trump won was not because more people voted for him but that many people who voted for Biden in 2020 did not vote at all in 2024.

Not a joke! (as Joe Biden would say). From his own chief of staff, Ron Klain:

In a new book, top Biden aide describes ‘out of it’ president before Trump debate

In a new book, Joe Biden’s former White House chief of staff paints a devastating picture of the then US president’s mental and physical state before the debate with Donald Trump that sent his 2024 campaign into a tailspin, resulting in his relinquishing the Democratic nomination to Kamala Harris.

Ron Klain served Biden from 2021 to 2023, then returned to his side last June to run debate preparation as he had for numerous Democratic presidents before.

“At his first meeting with Biden in Aspen Lodge, the president’s cabin,” Whipple writes, Klain “was startled. He’d never seen him so exhausted and out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool.

“That evening Biden met again with Klain and his team, [Biden aides] Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti, and Bruce Reed. ‘We sat around the table,’ said Klain. ‘[Biden] had answers on cards, and he was just extremely exhausted. And I was struck by how out of touch with American politics he was. He was just very, very focused on his interactions with Nato leaders.’”

Klain, Whipple writes, “wondered half-seriously if Biden thought he was president of Nato instead of the US. ‘He just became very enraptured with being the head of Nato,’ he said. That wouldn’t help him on Capitol Hill because, as Klain noted, ‘domestic political leaders don’t really care what [Emmanuel] Macron and [Olaf] Scholz think.’”

Klain, fellow aides and visitors including the film mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg tried to get Biden into shape. Two mock debates were organized, focusing on domestic policy.

“The first was scheduled to last 90 minutes but Klain called it off after 45. The president’s voice was shot and so was his grasp of the subject. All he really could talk about was his infrastructure plan and how he was rebuilding America and 16 million jobs. He had nothing to say about his agenda for a second term.”

Klain says Biden grew irritable, saying he would not make promises as he would be criticized for failing to deliver. Klain says he tried to persuade Biden to run on unfinished business, including his attempt to “subsidize state and local efforts to do childcare and bring down the cost to $20 a day. And you ought to try to fight for it again.”

“Biden seemed befuddled,” Whipple writes. “‘Well, that just seems like a big spending program,’ he said.

Klain said: “No, sir. It brings down costs for people. It’s responsive to inflation. It will bring more people into the workforce. It’s good economics. And you know this is something you’re for.”

But “Biden didn’t want to talk about it” and “25 minutes into the second mock debate, the president was done for the day. ‘I’m just too tired to continue and I’m afraid of losing my voice here and I feel bad,’ he said. ‘I just need some sleep. I’ll be fine tomorrow.’ He went off to bed.”

“The president was fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged,” Whipple writes. “Klain feared the debate with Trump would be a nationally televised disaster.”

Presidents traditionally have met the planes bringing fallen soldiers back to the US. Trump couldn't be bothered when the four soldiers killed in a training exercise in Lithuania returned. He preferred golfing at Mar A Lago.

The Lithuanian president saw them off, but ours couldn't be bothered to see them home. Probably because he wouldn't know "respect" if it [censored] him in the face.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.
www.theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com

Let's not forget, this is the same guy who casually dishonored our country's WWII fallen as "losers". It's no mystery what he surely thinks about four kids who died in a training exercise. In Trump's head only a "sucker" would serve in a military in the first place. "Winners" give orders and take respect, not the other way around. One of these soldiers was from the territories, so not even a real American by Republican logic.
 
For those still in denial about Joe Biden's mental decline and the media incompetence and/or coverup during his presidency...

Odd, as you cited a book passages that implied Biden was getting old, having endurance issues, but not exactly suffering from "mental decline". He appeared to have what he thought was important, what he didn't want to talk about. It isn't like he was talking about how he stopped the Staypuff Marshmallow monster from destroying NYC. It also was indicative that those around him felt the decline was sudden.

His stamina was the biggest liability for the election in 2024. He clearly was losing what was necessary to campaign for the US Presidency.

Well, in your defense, those glasses are going to cost a pretty penny because they're made in China....which of course is totally Biden's fault.
