    Biden Denies He’s Mentally Hobbled, But Says ‘I Do Have a Little Problem with My Left Foot’

    President Joe Biden insisted he was in “good shape” besides “a little problem with my left foot,” during a press conference on Thursday, amid growing concerns over the president’s alleged cognitive decline.

    After Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump,” all within the space of a few hours on Thursday, a reporter asked him, “You said you take a cognitive test every day in this job. Are you open to taking another physical or test before the election?”

    Biden replied:

    I’ve taken three significant and intense neurological exams with a neurol– neurosurg– a neurologist. In each case [inaudible] and they say I’m in good shape, okay? Although I do have a little problem with my left foot because it’s not as sensitive because I broke my foot and didn’t wear the boot, but I’m good. I’m tested every single day by my neurological capacity, the decisions I make every day. You talk to my staff, all of you talk to my staff. Sometimes my staff talks a lot. But the fact of the matter is I don’t think you have them telling you that all the major ideas we’ve undertaken haven’t been in part initiated by me.

    I remember when the staff and I said, “I’m going to go to South Korea. We’re gonna get the chip– What are you doing? I’m going to get Japan and Korea back together again after essentially having hostilities toward one another since the end of World War 2. I’m gonna move and see that we can expand–” You know, the only thing age does is help you with– creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention, and so the point I’m making is I think it’s important that I– if my neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam– by the way, I’ve laid every bit of the record out, having done– [inaudible] a thing. You don’t ask Trump for his, okay? I laid it all out.

    On Thursday, CNN reported that former President Barack Obama and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had a private discussion earlier this week over growing concerns about Biden’s cognitive health and ability to serve four more years.

    Despite calls from many Democrats for Biden to drop out of the race, he has so repeatedly declined to do so – vowing to continue until the end.

    parkinsons is nothing to be taken lightly. I am not a Biden Harris fan, but I do not wish parkinsons disease on anyone. he is leaving, and his replacement has gone from the least you could ask for to the most brilliant, military educated, and border changer we have ever had in Washington. in just 4 weeks. I find this amazing and unbelievable. where has she been all this time?
