President Joe Biden formally announced in a letter on Sunday that he will indulge Democrat politicians’ and donors’ soft coup-like demands to “stand down” and hand the reins of his 2024 reelection campaign to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden did not specify exactly why he believes it is in “the best interest of my party and the country” to retire from running for office. The decision to do so, however, is obviously linked to the left’s collective choice to stop covering up the president’s obvious physical and mental decline because they know he hurts their chances of winning the upcoming election.
There is a growing chorus of Republican lawmakers who say suddenly deeming Biden unfit to run for a second term despite primary voters’ wishes means he is also unfit to finish out the last six months of his presidency. Former President Donald Trump took it further in a Truth Social post on Sunday when he declared that Biden “was not fit to serve from the very beginning.”
“But the people around him lied to America about his Complete and Total Mental, Physical, and Cognitive Demise,” Trump warned.
Trump is right. The 81-year-old’s “cognitive demise” didn’t begin nearly four years into Biden’s four-year term. It was apparent long before he took over the Oval Office.
On the 2020 campaign trail, Biden forgot the names of several national and world leaders, blanked on which states he was in multiple times, and appeared confused about which political office he was running for.
Despite claiming he was “constantly tested” for cognitive decline in June 2020, Biden and his team refused to release any results. By August 2020, Biden changed his tune to claim that he had not undergone any cognitive testing.
Biden’s flip-flop did not fool Americans. Polling published around that same time indicated that nearly 40 percent of 2020 voters believed Biden had dementia. The number of voters who believed Biden wasn’t mentally capable of serving as president grew exponentially throughout the Democrat’s White House tenure.
Even without his aging woes, Biden disqualified himself from leading the country numerous times when he sacrificed the nation for personal and political gain.
Despite corporate media and Big Tech’s best efforts to squash the dissemination of the damning contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election, we know that the Bidens sold access to their patriarch to foreign oligarchs in exchange for money multiple family members used to fund their lavish lifestyle. Biden’s cozy relationship with his wayward son, specifically, leaves him susceptible to sway from American enemies.
Biden’s explicit participation in an international influence-peddling scheme alone is worthy of impeachment. Yet, it’s not the only thing that Biden did to make himself ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief.
Once Biden took office, he and his administration, which is staffed by registered and unregistered foreign agents, repeatedly compromised national security. He openly pursued a policy of escalation in the U.S.-funded proxy war against Russia in Ukraine that significantly increased the threat of nuclear war. He also botched the Afghanistan withdrawal that killed U.S. service members and sent tens of thousands of Afghan refugees into U.S. cities without proper screening, vetting, and inspection.
Domestically, Biden incentivized the worst illegal immigration influx in recorded U.S. history. Thanks to his deliberate failure to secure the border, U.S. states are more vulnerable to violent crime, fatal drugs, and infrastructure problems. He also fueled record-high inflation, political violence, and a myriad of other preventable crises and disasters.
Biden wasn’t fit to be president before he was elected, and his track record proves he certainly wasn’t fit after. Democrats’ latest coup d’état only further confirms that the man who can’t be trusted to run for reelection shouldn’t be running the country.
