The problem with dementia is you have lucid periods and bad periods.
Stories emerging from the white house paint a picture of deliberate attempts to hide the extent of Bidens ill health from the people.
The latest being that cabinet meetings are short, infrequent and cabinet members are asked before hand to submit questions and talking points. Cabinet members are unable to comment on how Biden is as they don't get to see him. This is very worrying as one of the "reassurances" we've been given is that Biden has picked an good team which supposedly compensates for any other deficiencies. Instead we find his top tram are working with little direct interaction with the elected president.
He has to go from the ticket. This is absolute madness in so many ways and the democrats are going to hand the presidency to Trump, but also possibly the senate and the house. It says a lot when the Trump campaign are dialling down the attacks on his mental capacity as they don't want him to withdraw - they want to attack him on this again after the point of no return.
Any Americans here really should be contacting their democrat party representatives and urging them to act.
As someone in the UK I am watching this mess with concern for the future. A Trump presidency controlling all arms of the american government is horrifying and looking like an increasing possibility.
