It’s been arguably Joe Biden’s worst week ever. After late June’s disastrous debate performance, journalists and politicians are suddenly pretending to notice what has been obvious to us all along: Biden is unfit for office.
Here are some lowlights from this week:
- Axios scooped on Sunday that Biden requires staff to prepare a detailed briefing document for every event—not for talking points, but to outline his walking route to the podium in large print.
- During a visit to a campaign office in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Biden bizarrely thanked Philadelphia “in particular” for helping him win his Senate races… in Delaware.
- White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lost control of the press briefing on Monday after dodging questions about whether Joe Biden is being treated for Parkinson’s disease. Reports revealed a Parkinson’s specialist visited the White House, including the residence, eight times in as many months over the last year.
- Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to admit that she gave out false information about Biden's visit with neurologist Kevin Cannard.
- The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Biden skipped an early evening G7 event with German Chancellor Scholz because he had to go to bed, sending Secretary of State Blinken instead.
- This was after German officials scheduled the meeting early, “aware of Biden’s fatigue at night.”
- The WSJ also noted that, at a June fundraiser, Biden appeared “fragile” and couldn’t recall the word “veteran,” asking attendees for help.
- It was reported Tuesday that after just 20 days and $320 million in wasted taxpayer dollars, Biden’s ill-conceived “Gaza aid pier” will be permanently dismantled, having delivered just "the equivalent of a single day’s" aid.
- The Cook Political Report on Tuesday moved six Electoral College ratings towards President Trump: Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, and in Nebraska’s second congressional district.
- Senior White House aides expressed“disquiet” this week over the ever-expanding role of Hunter Biden as a “gatekeeper” to Joe Biden.
- After raising Biden over $30 million less than a month ago, George Clooney—with Barack Obama’s implicit blessing—penned an op-ed in The New York Times on Wednesday calling on Crooked Joe to step aside.
- NBC News reported on Wednesday that Biden’s campaign has “suffered a major slowdown in donations” since President Trump’s decisive victory over him in June’s debate.
- In another major fundraising blow, The New York Times reported Friday morning that Democrat megadonors to Biden’s Super PAC will withhold a massive $90 million in funding unless he steps aside.
- Thursday’s inflation report proves that, despite White House and media gaslighting, prices are 20.1% higher than when Biden took office in January 2021. A closer look at the data reveals that prices of essential expenses are even higher:
- School Meals: Up 65.1%
- Car Insurance: Up 52.9%
- Unleaded Regular Gasoline: Up 49.1%
- Auto Repair: Up 40.1%
- Eggs: Up 38.9%
- Airfares: Up 32.0%
- Electricity: Up 31.6%
- Baby Food and Formula: Up 30.5%
- Chicken: Up 23.7%
- Shelter: Up 21.9%
- Groceries: Up 21.3%
- A report from the U.S. Joint Economic Committee calculates that Bidenflation has robbed the average U.S. household of a staggering $27,007 since January 2021.
- CNN reported on Thursday that a Cabinet secretary told the outlet that "they are uncertain of Biden’s condition because they so rarely see him."
- Politico reported Thursday that a "senior European diplomat" said, "You’re worried if he knows which direction he’s going or whether he’s going to fall or what he’s going to forget or if he’ll say ‘North Korea’ when he meant ‘South Korea.’ It’s just a weird experience."
- In his make-or-break “big boy” press conference Thursday evening, Biden did little to reassure the country of his mental capacity when he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as Vice President Trump.
- Hours earlier, he introduced Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.”
