Some bloggers here seem to think that using generalities sounds educated & persuasive: "no one" or like DT says, "everyone knows." If you've taken an essay writing course, you are taught not to generalize and make sure you've done your research to back of what you say. Speaking for "everyone" or "no one" is a big NO-NO.
Really, you actually think that seen in has that much power to be able to put their thumb on the scale of an election, Joe Biden is not going to drop out in AP if he wants to take a tip he can take one and in the meantime we need to ask Trump to take 1 too because people have been watching him for months and months making absolute fool of himself up on the stage, and then we're told that if we don't love Trump then there's something wrong with us, give me a break CN you're attracting every trumper in the country
How about a psychological test for psycopathy, pathological lying, malignant narcissism, compulsive grifting and general assholery? You know, something relevant.
Uncle Biden: "HO HO HO".... ‘mistook’ July 4 for Christmas🤣 And amazingly, he claims that he is the first black woman with a penis and dementia to be president of the USA
@@Satori_69 something like that is way too subjective. You can't have a doctor making that decision. Which doctor, how do you know they don't just hate the politicians stances? Too many problems.
@@jlyn9047Thats what Trump claims. But Trump lies so much who knows. Just saying "man woman camera tv" and claiming you passed a test doesnt make it true.
There should be psychological testing for any presidential candidate to screen out for Psychopathy, Sociopathy, Toxic Narcissism and Cognitive function. The call should not be for just ONE candidate, it should be universal and performed by an Independent Neuropsychologist and Psychologist. CNN, I'm no longer watching your videos after your debate performance. I'd recommend that your producer be screened for bias.
You're funny. JB's debate show might have something to do with his collapsed cognotive state where he can't speak without a script. Ever thought of that?
@derricksmith4406 They already have in a way: Both Biden and Trump had/have teleprompters and basic instruction cards to follow. Only one seems to struggle with teleprompters and can't follow the basic cards.
BOTH candidates are not mentally sharp. Trump' spews word salads all the time but 90% of Corporate Media is owned by 6% and he makes them money so they ignore what's in this article. My father's a brain-specialist and he's disgusted by media focused only on Biden. Dad sent me this article to explain: "Dr. John Gartner on a tale of two brains: "Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing"
The gas lighting, as a democrat, is infuriating. They think we are all too dumb to understand the difference between reading vs forming free thoughts and articulating them.

There are people with cognative decline in their sixties and people with no issues at ninety, it varries widely. With age comes wisdom that can only come with age.
People keep forgetting that our country is 248 years old, and way back then it never would have occurred to the founders to set an age limit. People died at much younger ages from a variety of illnesses as well as environmental conditions and other circumstances. Ben Franklin would have been the first to take in new information in 2024 and put the cap at 70 or 72.
@@fredadark5616 he had a head trauma shortly prior to his “freezing” up. Did you notice when his eyes would get big during that time? This was most likely an absence map seizure.

Absolutely. The moderators made NO ATTEMPT TO CAUTION OR REPRIMAND TRUMPET. I am gobsmacked as to how Dana & Jake just let Trumpet roll on. My my. The 2 CNN people I am actually follow all the time follow, were also in slumberland.
Trust, good point. After all the lying, projection and generalization ("Everyone knows"...bs) DT does, it's a big red flag. Cheating on taxes & stealing classified documents, I doubt the authenticity of the results also.
Yes a cognitive test is a great idea. It was important for my father to see the results in real time right in front of his face. Once the reality set in, he gave up his car keys and I took the fuses out of his stove and disconnected his microwave so he wouldn't hurt himself. He lived independently in an apartment for a few years with my help and PSW's helping after that. But most importantly, he didn't hurt anyone else!!!!
Why is Dr Gupta calling for ONLY Biden to have a cognitive test when trump as many more cognitive moments than Biden? he sounds suspect. Trump didnt win the debate as he never answer any questions. Trump show up and give his latest hits, repeating the same few things he said on his campaign trail. Answer no questions appropriately. yet everyone actively like he did well. No he didnt'nt. Trump refuse to be interview by anyone by right win media. Trump in my opinion as the very same cognitive challenges as Biden.
Democrats listened to CNN experts opinions on russia collusion for 4 yrs despite finding out the experts lied and were wrong as it was a hoax Same democrats listened to CNNs expets on hunters laptop being 100% fake yet later found out they lied again the only time CNN watchers dont believe CNN experts is when they are not attacking trump.
@@springbloom5940 If your news is only from your phone (right wing and foxnews) if you feel cheated in life, if you believe all of Trumps lies, if all your friends are all in with trump. if you didn't receive a complete education, if you are vulnerable in these ways you are easier to influence. Its best to hear ALL sides of issues to form your own opinions. Supporting any one individual who is a detriment to others is always questionable. Any one who constantly says negative things about others is doing so to make themselves feel better about themselves.
Watching CNN has caused your ability to think critically disappear. I'm a registered independent because both parties are full of ideologues who can't think for themselves. The left with its set of wokeism and identity politics has gone full religion.
*I truly believe that they haven't receive clear instruction from the Democratic leadership about the future of Mr Biden. They are just "testing the water.*
Besides being "proud to be the first vice president, first black woman", adding to the confusion, Biden also referred to himself as "the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid". This was TODAY on WURD radio!
Biden is 6 pts behind Trump. Biden showed his mental deficiency and the liberal media got caught lying. Basically, the Biden administration embarrassed the liberal media.
From a psychological standpoint, a father who makes consistent and inappropriate sexual comments about his own daughter could be exhibiting behaviors that are deeply concerning and potentially harmful. Such behavior can be indicative of several underlying issues: Boundary Issues: This behavior suggests a significant lack of understanding or respect for appropriate boundaries. It can create a confusing and unsafe environment for the daughter. Psychological Disorders: The father might be struggling with psychological disorders such as personality disorders, impulse control disorders, or other mental health issues that impair judgment and behavior. History of Trauma or Abuse: Sometimes, individuals who exhibit sexually inappropriate behavior may have a history of trauma or abuse themselves. This doesn’t excuse the behavior but can provide context for why it might be occurring. Power and Control: Making inappropriate comments can be a way to exert power and control over the daughter, which is a form of emotional and psychological abuse. Impact on the Daughter: The daughter is likely to experience significant emotional and psychological distress. This can lead to long-term issues such as anxiety, depression, trust issues, and difficulties in forming healthy relationships. It’s crucial for anyone in this situation to seek professional help immediately. Therapy and counseling can provide support and strategies to address and mitigate the impact of such behavior.
Sounds like you read Ashley Biden’s diary. Absolutely disgusting what Joe did to her in the shower while she was just a child let alone his own daughter 🤦♂️ explains why all the Biden children have substance abuse issues sad truly sad..,
So let me ask you an honest question. Do you agree that neither one is fit for being a president? Or are you so biased you'll ignore the facts of Biden's issues?
There's a 7 minute Cognitive test on the internet, which I gave my Father, to convince him to give up his keys. I don't think Biden could pass it, my Father couldn't he's 82....draw a clock and place the hands at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="500">8:20</a>. Could Biden do that? List twelve animals, spelling doesn't disqualify your answers. Subtract 7 from 100, and continue subtracting 7. I would be surprised if Biden could do any of these.
@@tiffanytran6399 Because he can speak without a teleprompter for over an hour; sit down and be interviewed and make sense. Biden's been cognitive impaired for years.
@tiffanytran6399 Trump makes full sentences out speaking to the people alot in court many times Biden would have blew up a long time ago going through a quarter of what Trump has be going through
And during those 3.5 years, he has lowered the unemployment numbers, inflation is the lowest compared to other countries, the stock market is booming, new legislation for climate, infrastructure and manufacturing of microchips were put in place, student debt for thousands was forgiven, Medicare is able to negotiate with Pharma for some medications, and the list goes on and one. Guess what? He has never once told people to inject themselves with bleach or take horse worming pills. It's been pretty good so far.
Seems more like a Trump claim. It was priceless to watch Trump deny saying that there were good people on both sides at Charlottesville. Of course that was after claiming born children are aborted AND that China pays the tariffs AND the highest budget deficit was under Biden AND the greatest trade deficit with China was under Biden AND... Apparently Obama being president was too much for all the fragile white egos and now lies with every breath are acceptable because at least Trump let's them be free to be their absolute worst.
How can the doctor say its no necessary when the whole country is seeking any answers? That cognitive test would've taken less that 5 minutes and a 10 years old can do it!
It's not just the test, it's MRI's, in all likely his brain has shrunk significantly, one of the classic symptom's is aggressiveness towards caregivers, its been reported staffers are actually afraid of him.
Who gave Trump the cognitive test and who scored them? DT bird walks all over the place. We do not know if he was prepped or given the answers ahead of time. From watching DT since he "stole" the election, snd tried to prevent Joe Biden from taking office, I'd bet that he cheated. This guy took classified documents. Bonespurs did not serve like McCain did. Does that sound like a person with integrity & honesty. If anything, put them in a room with test monitors from each side and let the mind games begin.
I think they should throw in a personality test or two while they are at it. It's all we need is a malignant narcissistic psychopath to once again rearrange our countries laws.
Both should have rigorous and full testing by Reputable physicians (NOT Ronnie Jackson or Johnson, if you are talking to Trump). Just to get answers in both, that hopefully are reliable. Frankly, other than the debate, I haven't seen anything really concerning in Biden, I have seen a great deal concerning in Trump, other than his dangerous and violent rhetoric. But Biden's performance in the debate was concerning. It could be chalked up to any number of things, other than cognitive issues, but it would be good to know from doctors. He could clear that up with a thorough check up. We know that Trump never will, because he is frankly, not sane in addition to cognitive issues. All you have to do is listen to any interview he has given in the past year.
If you have not seen anything concerning in biden before the debate than how come that loads of people before the debate had raised the very concerns about biden that biden showed in debate
@@heatherkempf9897 No, he shouldn't. Not unless you're suggesting he sould be removed via 25th Amendment. In which case the Amendment should be invoked and challenged with appropriate competency tests. Its disturbing how everyone on all sides wants to dispense with an election and have the President decided by anything but the People.
Violent rhetoric? If you ever actually listened to Trump, not in clips, you'd know that he doesn't spout violent rhetoric. The only reason why you think that is because you watch the propaganda machine known as mainstream media. What you think of Trump is based on lies but you think it's true because it comes from the media. The German people also believed what they were told about the Jews because it came from their media but they were also lied to and look how that turned out. If anything, violent rhetoric regulary comes from Joey. Joey is the one who keeps trying to convince people that the right is violent and full of domestic terrorists which is absolutely ridiculous. He wants those who support him to hate half of the country which is something no president should ever do. He wants his supporters to see those who vote for Trump as their enemies which is beyond irresponsible and disgusting. We all have far more in common than we disagree about but Joey, along with the media, has been trying for the last four years to split this country in two.
That was a well-reasoned and well-thought out statement. However, I disagree with you on one thing: Trump is, IMO, sane. Insanity is totally different. Trump is sane; he just happens to have a seriously bad Cluster B Personality Disorder: he has Narcissism. And it's very likely he also has a 2nd Cluster B Personality Disorder: that of Psychopathy. He's just a seriously bad, flawed and twisted person. He should never hold a position of power over other people.
Trump took the MOCA test twice (4:21 / 10:39) as well as the other neurological tests. Biden did not take a number of the neurological tests. Did you pay attention to what the doctor said?
What we need is live fact checking and moderator needs to keep them on topic instead of avoiding questions, insulting and challenging to golf tournament, when none of that matters we want to know how it will help us PERIOD.
It's horrible that they are conflating a complete physical check-up with a cognitive exam for Alzheimer's/ dementia, saying he is in perfect health but doesn't need a Montreal Cognitive assessment. My father was a lawyer forced to undergo a medical evaluation by the Law Society. As it turns out, he did have Alzheimer's, and his license to practice was revoked immediately. Indeed, we can ask our leaders the same questions for the most critical job in the United States. As Dr Gupta points out, strong indicators indicate the need for this testing as soon as possible. They are testing for everything but this. Democrats should not rally around the president to make a protective shield. If he does have this condition, there is no shame in it. Lots of elderly people suffer from this condition, unfortunately. If he needs to be replaced, voters will be relieved that the proper steps were taken. But to suggest, "Keep going; it's a better alternative to Trump," as the reporter did, is infuriating. Or "Let's see how he does on the campaign trail in the next few weeks." Come on. All Americans should demand these tests now-not to see if he should run again but to see if he should be in the White House for the next six months.
@@BlissologyYoga You, as is everyone else, are completely missing the real issue. Even from just what his people and the media have let us see, this has been an issue since his 2020 campaign. Even if you didn't notice before, looking back at his 2020 primary performance, you can see the same behaviors; stammering to buy time as he groped for words. This is not the same thing as a 'stutter' wh-wh-wh-where you struggle to spit out a word. He was just managing his performance better. What this debate exposed was the insidious conspiracy to keep his condition hidden from the public, so that the people actually running everything and driving us into a global conflict can operate free of responsibility, in his name. *Anyone* high up enough in the Democrat ranks to be called as a replacement, is also high up enough to have known all along and be in on the deception. They *ALL* need to be permanently booted out of any position even power adjacent.
We aren’t just voting for Biden. We are voting Biden/Harris and his whole amazing cabinet. We are also voting blue up and down the ticket so that he can have the House back and hopefully a more secure majority in the Senate so we can make REAL change. The rogue SCOTUS needs work on ethics (and possibly criminality) and maybe to be expanded. We want Roe v Wade to be made a federal law equal to what we had for over 50 years before the current SCOTUS took our bodily autonomy away. And Biden has so much more of his Build Back Better agenda to achieve. The GOP do-nothing House of the past two years blocked everything of substance. They accomplished so little that it was less than 5% what is normally done in a congressional session. SAD. They need to be fired and replaced with as many Democrats as possible who are willing to do the work for the people, not ridiculous fake investigations and nothing else. Ask your rep what they voted for this session that helped YOU personally. There should be more than 500 bills. Not even close.
💯 As a republican I would rather have Kamala (who is more left than bide ) in charge than Biden bc at least she has cognitive abilities to make decisions if God forbid there’s another terroist attack or war that breaks out in the next 6 months It’s unamerican to let someone run this country who is confused and demented
No one had a clue so it wasn't done unfortunately. There were no observable signs something was awry, so anyone claiming otherwise at the time were all MACA & 🇷🇺🤖 Thankfully he's in good hands as his wife is a Doctor
Ignorance is Bliss...the new Democratic Slogan. The economy is tanking and we don't have sovereign borders anymore, but at least Trump can't speak from the Rose Garden in 2024! American politics is ridiculously low-level.

Some markers of dementia include being in denial and unaware how bad off you are. A hoarse weak voice is also one. Loss of train of thought. Lack of facial reactions. Lying like a little child could be added. Frozen hands. His last full examination he said does not include cognition.
As indian that follow US politic, I sapport biden. In press conferance the black lady said biden has been told he does not have to take it by doctors. Also, trump took the test without doctor consent so the test should not valid. Biden does not take because he does not need to.
Dr. Gupta at CNN stands out as a voice of reason, he is very reputable, honest and globally respected. He suggests that a neurological assessment and full medical work-up are likely a good step forward to allay fears. This could already be in works or completed considering the individual in question is one of the most powerful people in the world. There are numerous issues-metabolic, hormonal, heavy metal toxins, low oxygen, infection, cardiovascular, etc.-that could be causing symptoms, many of which have relatively simple treatments. Regardless of age, these conditions can present themselves, although they are more common over the age of 40 or 50, and sometimes even younger. Automatically labeling someone as "incompetent or senile" or worse on some networks is unjustifiable without proper facts. It's essential to get the facts first, then address the issue with the hope of finding a resolution. My mentor was 85 years old. He spoke a bit slower and moved carefully, but he had one of the sharpest minds when it came to writing or teaching. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) that President Trump has referenced includes around 11 simple exercises, such as drawing a clock, recalling animal names, and knowing the day of the week. It is a basic tool to assess cognitive decline, such as that seen in Alzheimer's disease. Diagnosing someone's cognitive abilities based on one or two video clips is wildly inappropriate. Accurate diagnosis requires numerous appointments, medical testing, and importantly input from family and close associates who observe an individual 24/7.
The fact that Dr Gupta failed to include Trump as someone who needs testing is troubling. Is it true Trump is in diapers already? And lacks the ability at facial recognition? He thought EJean Carroll was Marla Maples?
He was working right ALONG SIDE Biden and Dr. Fauci in reporting responsibly about vaccines. This is garbage reporting from him and I’m so disappointed.
CNN has requested that and more of Trump since 2016 and now because Biden is finally criticized on CNN you act as though they’re being unfair smh wow just wow you people
there is one man that is currently presiding over the country that should be required to fully reveal his current cognitive state solely in regards to the current concerns of the citizens that he presides over as they relate to the displays of potential cognitive decline that these citizens have witnessed and observed. Time to extinguish the gaslight.
I truly believe that they haven't receive clear instruction from the Democratic leadership about the future of Mr Biden. They are just "testing the waters.*
I thought Democrats were big believers that there are many many people incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit? Strange how when that involves someone you don't agree with that you magically forget your previous stance on the subject......
Trump did it during his presidential years and can do it again without any problem. Trump keeps fit playing golf and campaigning, while Biden gets lost in any place and at any time. Biden has dementia and must have an MRI to see the condition of his brains.

President Biden has the primary votes. He is the nominee. President Biden is 80 +. The solution is to expect the president to be 80. We don't need this chaos!!! The choice is either democracy or autocracy!!! Start talking about project 2025!!!
How about talking about calling 1/2 the US r*cist and radicals, just because they don't believe in what you do. How about talking about the constant lies that the left tells you every day on MSDNC and CNN. How about talking about the inequality that the Democrats push.
There are checks and balances to prevent autocracy, just ask Biden how his student loan forgiveness is doing. You really need to do some reading and not believe everything the media tells you.

I don't disagree with the comments by Maria, but with all due respect, this is not about how Joe Biden compares with Donald Trump, but rather about whether voters have confidence that Joe Biden is the best Democratic candidate. It's not as though Democratic voters will suddenly switch to Donald Trump if Joe Biden continues in the race -- however a great many will just sit out the election (not vote). It's quite baffling to me that so many Democratic leaders & influencers do not get this simple fact.
I think some will. People will lose trust in the DNC. They are trying to gaslight us into thinking we didn’t see something we all clearly saw. Media loved covering Trump but Bidens debate performance was so bad there is no turning back. Joe hasn’t done anything for Medicaid or Medicare.
Where is the call for Trump to be tested? He hasn't uttered a coherent sentence in years. I'm all for testing. But what is good for one, is good for ALL!
@@SueKivley Sorry to hear that. Then you would know what he really said, not the clips that the liberal agenda shows you and can make up your own mind.
@@zalronwow7222 You said "through his entire life". I don't watch his idiotic nonsense from before he became the leader of the Country. I have, however, seen more than enough of it over the past 8 years. I don't believe everything "liberal" media shows....I have seen enough of what they have done to Biden. Fake clips of him trying to sit in an invisible chair, for example. I've watched the whole video. And, YES, "liberal" media was all over that fake news. There really is no "liberal" media anymore. They hype up all the fake clips of Biden, but fail to report on actual news of the positive things he does. I watch a lot of media as well as experts (legal & political) to base my decisions on. I couldn't stand Trump from the minute he opened his foul mouth. Everyone knew he was a criminal. Why else would he keep refusing to show his taxes? That was obvious from the start. The fact that he has finally been caught and convicted of his crimes, just verifies that my decision was correct in the first place. How anyone in their right mind would vote for a rapist is beyond comprehension. How you can vote for a figuratively and morally bankrupt person is highly disturbing.
He should take a cognitive test, but so should Trump---and not by their personal doctors, but by independent doctors/ neurologists, by the same and at the same time. One more thing, I really don't like the way CNN held that debate: no fact checking, Trump lied and answered no questions!!! The only good thing was switching off the microphones. Much in the same way the Supreme Court aided Trump, so did you...

God, CNN, you focus on this all the time and not on Trump and the implications of the Supreme Court decision and Project 25 for the future of the US! Seriously, what has happened to you?
I am young and I have ADHD and therefore I lack short term memory. If the test is timed, I would fail it. I wouldn't get points for the words. I also, in my daily life, have difficulty retrieving words. Somedays, my speech is slurred and it's hard for me to vocalize. However, I have an excellent ability to comprehend and create intertwined systems and assign tasks to achieve goals. I also have a good emotional intelligence, and I can quickly reshuffle assignments/staff if I perceive they may be causing burnout and thus affecting productivity, this allows me to keep my staff motivated and engaged. I have a directorial position. The irony is that my lack of executive function (which is an area of cognition) would make me a subpar worker, but doesn't interfere in my ability to manage a company because my staff is in charge of the more executive function heavy tasks, while I am in charge of the more abstract, big picture ideas, which they struggle with. I think these cognitive tests fail to represent the variety of brains, the different ways we think, and how those can be helpful for different jobs. A lot of politicians, leaders, have "neurodivergent" brains which allows them to think the impossible. Let's acknowledge that and remember that the reason why these cognitive tests aren't routinely taken is that they are inherently flawed.
Disagree. There are many many tests out there . Mini mental status exam , etc to test pts. Also brain MRI imaging , trial test with L- dopa for parkinsons. Fdp pet scan for Alzheimer’s and the list is endless. There are a plethora neurology tests done on the spot that can test short and long term memory, executive functions , etc… We should be aiming for transparency.
@@ScoobieDoo-zy1rh If you read his annual medical report, which is available to everyone, it reads: "An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor, either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year." There is no single test capable of diagnosing Alzheimers. The tests that you're mentioning for Alzheimer's is actually a test used to distinguish cognitive impairment caused by Dementia from that caused by Alzheimer's, and therefore provide the correct treatment. The PET imaging detects amyloids, which are a component of Alzheimers, however, amyloids can be present in people without Alzheimers. The presence is predictive of developing Alzheimers in the future, but when that will happen is not known, he could live until age 100 and die before he develops Alzheimers, but if the imaging is done and published the public would immediately assume he has Alzheimers. These types of evaluations are very nuanced and need to be interpreted in conjunction with many other factors. You can't just publish a chart and let uninformed people decide for themselves. The cognitive symptoms Biden shows are normal and gradually show for people starting at age 30: slowness in thinking and difficulties sustaining attention, multitasking, holding information in mind, and word-finding. These normal symptoms don't warrant a test like the MMSE you mention which literally asks "which day it is," he hasn't shown at all that he doesn't know where he is or when he is or who he is... Go back to the Bork confirmation hearings that he presided 40 years ago, they are on RU-vid, or go watch his interviews with Colbert. You will see that he clearly loses his train of thought and struggles to arrive to conclude with a point when he begins a sentence, frequently, at ages 30, 40, 60, 70... I also recommend you go watch slower interviews from the past few years in which he slowly, quietly, and with a raspy voice describes intricate strategies in the Pacific or the relationship with Europe. Go also watch Macron criticizing the Inflation Reduction Act as one of the pieces of legislation that has given most power to America over Europe. Additionally, look at the many instances during the past 3.5 years in which Biden was criticized and said he was too old: - Announcing Russia's intentions of invading Ukraine as a warning to the world (which must've been a personal decision). All the news pundits said that Biden was senile for that. Then days later Russia invaded Ukraine. - The SVB crisis: recession guaranteed. Recession didn't happen, deposits were guaranteed. - Nuclear deal with Australia: News said Biden was sloppy, on the verge of war with France, called Macron and fixed it within 48h and every NATO country increased their spending in NATO. and more, and more, and more... This is a very effective presidency that operates a lot under the radar. We've had 3.5 boring years, without scandals, so everything is becoming news in this need for drama. But no one is talking about Trump's 90 minute lies during the debate. Biden is old, is tired, and his quirks, from his wacky trains of thoughts to his stutter to his difficulty recalling words are more difficult for him to maneuver quickly with age, but they aren't new. He knows politics better than any politician in the US, can get legislation passed, can get international cooperation, can get investments, can boost the economy. The FED estimated unemployment at 4.6% in 2023, it was 3.75%, the FED estimated GDP growth for 2023 to be 0.5%, it actually was 3.7%. Biden is running because he knows he can deliver in the executive, as he has been delivering, but I think he's under a lot of pressure and, frankly, nervous, with a million eyes looking at his every move (Omg he shook a little!! He must have Parkinson!!) and I do think with age he is not able to manage his stage presence the way he used to. But that is not a cognitive impairment, it's simply being old. Of course, try to explain this accurate and thorough analysis in a 15 second segment with a clickbaiting headline...
Laughing out loud. Presidents are chosen by the voters, not news analyst that no one trust. President Biden and the democratic voters are the most powerful people on the planet.
