Biden has had problems performing his duties from the beginning, the WSJ’s extensive material proves

The President’s staff covered up his condition in various sophisticated ways. It is said that the press department, for example, received instructions from the staff not to include articles evaluating Biden negatively in the regular reviews assigned to him, so he himself thought that he was very successful, writes the WSJ.

During the last two years, despite the raging conflict in Ukraine and the escalating situation in the Middle East, the president has significantly reduced contacts with his defense minister, Lloyd Austin. Although the White House officially claimed that Biden spoke frequently on the phone with Austin and other ministers. According to WSJ sources, it was actually not Biden himself, but mainly his advisers.

“Senior advisers were often placed in roles that some administration officials and lawmakers believed Biden should have filled, so national security adviser Jake Sullivan, senior adviser Steve Ricchetti, and National Economic Council chief Lael Brainard and her predecessor were often in the position of go-betweens for the president, ” writes WSJ.

At least one of the ministers completely gave up trying to meet with the president, “because it was clear that my questions would not be welcomed”. Another key member of the government who had minimal contact with the president was Finance Minister Janet Yellen.

It also follows from the findings of a recognized American newspaper that the president’s staff routinely adjusted the president’s schedule according to his mental condition.

The meetings were held in a designated six-hour time window, during which Biden was at his best. This window closed at four in the afternoon. Ideally, the meetings did not start in the morning, but later in the day, “because the president was not in the best shape in the morning.”

Sometimes it was necessary to move the meeting to another day. “He has good days and bad days, today was the bad day, so we’ll deal with that (issue) tomorrow,” one national security adviser told the WSJ. When someone requested a meeting with Biden, he was instructed to be brief, keep it short and stick to the point.

The WSJ notes that it is normal for the president to have a team of people around him who function as gatekeepers and provide him with contact with reality. However, it should not be the standard to the extent that it was for the now eighty-two-year-old Joe Biden.

Biden has had a close and loyal team of associates around him ever since he entered politics. He brought people who knew him and worked with him for a long time to the White House. As the WSJ notes, his team did a great job during the coronavirus pandemic when they managed to prevent the president from catching the infection. However, since then, the pandemic measures regarding the president’s meeting with people have never fully subsided.

And it worked well, until June 27 of this year, when Biden debated with Donald Trump in Atlanta as part of the campaign. During his ascent, he had a hard time finding words, he was unable to finish his thoughts.

Biden’s deviation from reality, which was ensured for him by his staff, reached absurd proportions during this year’s presidential campaign. He did not receive real public opinion surveys, his advisers presented them to him in an altered form, so he insisted on his candidacy for a long time because he believed that he was leading.

He ended his fight for re-election to the White House on July 21 and supported Vice President Kamala Harris in her candidacy. In the end, Republican Donald Trump won the election.
