President Biden's Dementia
By Robert Weissberg
Has President Biden become so senile that he is now longer qualified to be commander-in-chief? The outward signs of dementia are everywhere. He often appears confused, unsure of his next move, and unable to remember his speech. Key political terms such as the "national debt" are improperly used, while his memory lapses include falsely claiming to have observed an events or declaring a climate emergency. Even the Washington Post has raised serious doubts about the president's mental acuity. Off-the-cuff remarks sometimes make no sense whatsoever. Such incidents have become commonplace and cannot be explained by slips of the tongue or fatigue.
Nevertheless, the outward signs of dementia — confused mumbling, forgetfulness and the like — do not necessarily prove incompetence. A clear-cut diagnosis requires a specific medical exam, but it is unlikely that President Biden would volunteer for this test. Moreover, Biden's impairment is only what is publicly visible, and actions taken outside the public limelight may be more competent.
The public/private dichotomy is hardly unusual. Casey Stengel, the legendary New York Yankees manager who won 10 American League championships and seven World Series, held press conference filled with his rambling commentary (he was nicknamed "The Ol' Professor"). President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1968) occasionally seemed confused when quizzed by the press, but this merely reflected his habit of obscuring sensitive military information.
The key question, then, is whether President Biden's dementia-appearing outward behavior signifies a serious threat.
