Biden says he's more physically viable than TIME reporters interviewing him: ‘I can take you too’
81-year-old POTUS insists he can do the job ‘better than anybody’

President Biden said he was more physically able to do the job of the presidency than anyone, appearing to joke in a new interview that he could beat up reporters who asked about his advanced age.

Biden sat down with Time magazine at the White House last month for a lengthy interview published on Tuesday. At one point, Biden was asked if he could still do the job "as an 85-year old man" who will be considered "too old to lead" by many Americans if he wins a second term.

"I can do it better than anybody you know. You’re looking at me, I can take you too," Biden told Time, including Washington bureau chief Massimo Calabresi and editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs.

Biden, who was presumably joking, said he never considered not running again because of his age, and offered a message for Americans who are worried about it.

"Watch me. Look, name me a president that’s gotten as much done as I've gotten done in my first three and a half years. When all of you wrote in Time magazine I couldn't get any of it done. When you told me there's no pay, no way, no way he can get a trillion-plus dollar bill done in terms of, to deal with infrastructure, where there's no way he gets $368 billion for dealing with the environment, where there's no way I could get the legislation passed on," Biden said.

"I remember when I was heading to Taiwan, excuse me, to South Korea, to reclaim the chips industry that we had gotten $865 billion in private-sector investment, private-sector investments since I’ve been in," he continued. "Name me a president who’s done that."

Time fact-checked the comment, noting the White House "announced an $866 billion private-sector investment in May, not when Biden went to South Korea in 2022. The funding was also meant for initiatives across clean energy and manufacturing industries, and is not limited to just the chips industry."

Few know that Our Joe was nearly a Gold Gloves Champion but was held back by a nearly fatal asthma attack.

   Thanks for the info.  Joe is such an amazing man. 

[LMAO]

I saw an interview with Keith Richards that was done fairly recently and it dawned on me that even though he’s roughly the same age as Biden and has a history substance  abuse and hard partying, he’s still sharper than our sitting president

Senile Biden's Interview With TIME Goes Way Off the Rails, He Even Challenges the Reporter to a Fight

If you want to know why the Department of Justice is doing everything it can to block Joe Biden's special counsel interview from seeing the light of day, the interview he just did with TIME provides all the reasoning necessary. Saying that this thing went off the rails might actually be too low-key. Perhaps I should have work-shopped the headline a bit more.
 

Yeah, it's that bad, and the crescendo of the President of the United States challenging the interviewing reporter to a fight is proof enough of that. We'll get there, but let's start with this exchange on inflation, which TIME actually went back and fact-checked.
 
"Wage increases have exceeded what the cost of inflation," Biden says, making no grammatical sense at all. Instead of finishing his point (which is a lie), though, he launches into an angry rant about "shrinkflation" and "price gouging." Read this sentence and try to make sense of it.

Most of us recognize that he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and certainly Mama Jill can see it.  When oh when are they going to stop using him as a pawn in the grand scheme of things???

A small part of me almost feels sorry for Joe because he's dealing with dementia and it seems his wife doesn't give a darn. He's always been evil but that seems to have escalated. Perhaps not of his own doing, either that or he's a very good actor.

[rustynail]

You have not heard the story of Joe's cut short acting career?..

[libertybele]

Wow!  Sounds like he becoming beligerent and becoming even more incoherent:

[LMAO]

He’s done this before of challenging anybody who questions him to a fight or a push-up contest

This is a part that gets me

His wife knows more than anybody else how  far gone his mind is. But she still puts him  out there anyways where he embarrasses himself.

Entering a Globalist "free trade" deal with a totalitarian Maoist Communist regime was a bad idea. 

The commies are just stealing our technology and destroying American industries.

It won't be long before he'll start throwing punches.  Dementia patients do this often when agitated.  Joe gets agitated a lot these days.  With his crackhead kid on trial look for Joe to go all aggressive.

  A push-up contest???  Now that there is funny!

Same.  I feel some compassion. She is also allowing his 'handlers' to use him to fulfill their agenda. I wonder what she has been promised or what she is gaining?

Biden, who was presumably joking ...

Why would they conclude that? He's never joking. Not a joke. C'mon, man.

[AllThatJazzZ]

This is what toxic masculinity looks like. I don't know why he's always touting his masculine prowess. I can only surmise that he's a worm of a man whose big mouth and braggadocio is a desperate attempt to fool doubters.   

[Smokin Joe]

C'mon, man!

OK tough guy! How many can you 'do'?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Senior abuse at this point?

Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping
June 4, 2024

WASHINGTON—When President Biden met with congressional leaders in the West Wing in January to negotiate a Ukraine funding deal, he spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, paused for extended periods and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out.

In a February one-on-one chat in the Oval Office with House Speaker Mike Johnson, the president said a recent policy change by his administration that jeopardizes some big energy projects was just a study, according to six people told at the time about what Johnson said had happened. Johnson worried the president’s memory had slipped about the details of his own policy.

Last year, when Biden was negotiating with House Republicans to lift the debt ceiling, his demeanor and command of the details seemed to shift from one day to the next, according to then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and two others familiar with the talks. On some days, he had loose and spontaneous exchanges with Republicans, and on others he mumbled and appeared to rely on notes.

“I used to meet with him when he was vice president. I’d go to his house,” McCarthy said in an interview. “He’s not the same person.” ...

Americans have had minimal opportunities to see Biden in unscripted moments. By the end of April, he had given fewer interviews and press conferences than any of his recent predecessors, according to data collected by Martha Joynt Kumar, an emeritus professor at Towson University. His last wide-ranging town-hall-style meeting with an independent news outlet was in October 2021.

He has had fewer small meetings with lawmakers as his term has gone on, visitor logs show. During his first year in office, even with pandemic restrictions, he held more than three dozen meetings of fewer than 20 lawmakers in the West Wing. That number fell to roughly two dozen in his second year, and about a dozen in his third year. ...

Biden's "Time" interview is an absolute train wreck.

I still can't believe the democrats are stupid enough to renominate a nursing home patient.

Why not?

Look at what the Republicans are nominating. The battle is between the psych patient and the nursing home patient

Exactly. Not sure why the WSJ pussyfooted around what we've all seen with our own eyes.
