Biden’s health problems don’t just only affect his life. They affect the safety of our country.
And now, Biden has suffered a health crisis while meeting with world leaders and exposed the US to danger.
In a startling revelation, it has been reported that President Joe Biden skipped a crucial meeting with world leaders shortly after the war in Ukraine erupted.
The meeting, intentionally scheduled for the early evening to accommodate the President’s routine, was missed by Biden as he reportedly needed to “go to bed.” This incident has sparked serious concerns about the President’s capability to handle crises beyond his limited working schedule, which reportedly spans from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes naps.
The Wall Street Journal reported that German officials had sought a meeting with President Biden in June 2022, just a few months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The meeting, which included other world leaders, was planned during the annual G7 Summit.
Aware of Biden’s fatigue during evening hours, German officials arranged a confidential meeting in the early evening to ensure his attendance.
However, Biden did not show up. Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken attended and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to multiple sources cited in the report.
The report underscores how Biden’s aides have meticulously managed his public appearances and interactions, highlighting the 81-year-old President’s mental and physical decline over the past two years.
Measures taken include blocking him from making impromptu remarks to reporters, declining halftime interviews during the last two Super Bowls, limiting his travel due to his lack of stamina, creating barriers to prevent reporters from asking questions, and blasting music at events to drown out reporter inquiries.
A former senior adviser to Biden expressed shock at the President’s decline when they met last summer, describing the situation as “not good.” This sentiment is echoed by other close observers.
A Democratic donor, who saw Biden earlier this year, noted that it was evident he had “lost a step” as he struggled to speak at an event in South Florida. Similarly, donors at a New York fundraiser last year were reportedly struck by how fragile Biden seemed, recalling an instance where he forgot the word “veteran” and had to ask the audience for help.
These observations are alarming considering Biden’s previously robust engagement with the press as a senator and vice president.
Since assuming the presidency, Biden has drastically reduced media access, holding fewer press conferences and interviews than any modern president. This shift has led to increased scrutiny and concerns about his ability to manage the demands of the office effectively.
The incident at the G7 Summit, where Biden’s absence was conspicuous, raises significant questions about his capacity to handle global crises. The war in Ukraine, a critical issue requiring strong leadership and decisive action, underscores the importance of the President’s presence and active involvement in international diplomacy.
Biden’s absence from the meeting, replaced by Secretary Blinken, signals a worrying trend of delegating vital responsibilities to subordinates due to his physical limitations.
Critics argue that the President’s restricted schedule and apparent need for frequent rest periods reflect a broader issue of competency and preparedness to lead the nation, particularly in times of crisis. The optics of a president unable to attend a critical meeting because he needs to sleep do little to inspire confidence in his leadership abilities.
The White House has downplayed concerns about Biden’s stamina and mental acuity, emphasizing his achievements and policy successes. However, the persistent reports of his declining health and limited engagement with the press continue to fuel doubts about his fitness for office. Supporters argue that Biden’s measured approach and reliance on his experienced team demonstrate prudent leadership, ensuring that decisions are well-considered and not rushed.
Nonetheless, the incident at the G7 Summit adds to a growing list of instances where Biden’s absence or apparent confusion has raised eyebrows. From forgetting names and words to appearing disoriented during public appearances, these moments have not gone unnoticed by the public and the media.
As the 2024 election approaches, Biden’s health and capacity to serve a second term will undoubtedly be a focal point of the campaign. Republican challengers are likely to seize on these concerns, framing Biden as unfit to lead and highlighting the need for a more vigorous and engaged president.
In the meantime, the administration faces the challenge of addressing these concerns head-on. Transparency about Biden’s health, coupled with reassurances of his ability to manage the demands of the presidency, will be crucial in maintaining public trust and confidence.
The reported incident at the G7 Summit serves as a stark reminder of the importance of presidential presence and engagement, especially during times of international crisis. As the world navigates the complexities of the Ukraine conflict and other global challenges, strong and decisive leadership from the United States remains indispensable.
The American public and the international community will be watching closely, scrutinizing Biden’s every move and assessing his capability to lead effectively in these turbulent times.
