Concerns over President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities have intensified following a recent interview with Time magazine and a detailed report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The Time interview, which was lightly edited, raised alarms about Biden's coherence and ability to serve a second term. The WSJ report, based on interviews with 45 individuals, including both Democrats and Republicans, highlighted Biden's declining mental acuity, noting that he often appears slower and less sharp in private meetings. During a January meeting on Ukraine funding, Biden reportedly spoke so softly that some participants struggled to hear him. The White House has refuted these claims, suggesting they are politically motivated. However, the concerns have led to increased calls for Biden to undergo a cognitive test, with some Democrats reportedly being pressured to retract their statements about his condition. Biden, 81, has stated that he never considered not running for re-election due to his age, despite widespread public concern, with 75% of Americans believing he is too old to serve a second term.
I think it’s entirely reasonable to be concerned about Biden’s age going forward and against a less deranged opponent I would be a lot more concerned about this.

Joe Biden did an interview with Time magazine, and the result is…disquieting. Our president is legitimately senile – and that’s actually the best thing you can say about the interview. The policy prescriptions are totally incoherent and delusional. https://t.co/42yzjHclVU

The White House's response to the WSJ piece tells you everything you need to know about Joe Biden's cognitive capacity.

CNN wouldn’t give the WSJ’s “Biden isn’t all there” story this much time if they all weren’t enthusiastically looking for Biden to bow out. The story is planted by Democrats to push Biden out I’ve been saying since the start that one or both parties would hot-swap their…
After Dem lawmakers shared recording and details of conversations with the WSJ which showed Biden's decline the WH had those lawmakers call back and issue pravdaesque statements about Biden's intellectual prowess Humiliating https://t.co/QNUYeuKPYA
The problem with this of course is that the Joe Biden the world observes in his public appearances resembles more closely the Joe Biden described by the WSJ than by the Democrats who claim he is secretly sharp as a tack. https://t.co/EMxsyE1FBU

I keep thinking about that Time magazine transcript. President Biden literally can’t communicate. His reelection campaign is a disaster for the Democratic Party and should never have happened.
In private meetings, Biden shows signs of dementia, @WSJ kindly informs its uninformed readers. Well, he does show the signs of dementia in public appearances as well. https://t.co/vxdaCC30zu

I don’t know why @wsj is acting like this is news. They know we all see him slipping both literally and figuratively in public, right? The guy goes back and forth from hopped up on something for an angry speech to jello time at shady pines retirement home every other day. https://t.co/D7AOKEHbrv

Long form piece here from @WSJ. Not a huge surprise to anyone paying attention, but Joe Biden isn’t very sharp in meetings or outside public view and shows signs of major slippage in mental acuity according to interviews with 45 people. https://t.co/G0itvu8IH1
Worth reading this 'lightly edited' interview with @JoeBiden to get a sense of his actual current level of cognitive functioning. To me, the most alarming part is when Biden says he never even _considered_ not running because of his age. IMHO, any normal guy in his 80s, who… https://t.co/deyZu1DZZ4

WSJ talks to 45 people, of both parties, and they basically talk about Biden like a dementia patient. “Good and bad days.” The White House then talked to Democrats and told them to call the paper back and change their stories. They’re not fooling anyone. This is why he’s losing. https://t.co/sf1Wq2E9M2
The transcript of Joe Biden's Time interview is extremely disturbing -- and it's this bad after being "lightly edited." I'm sorry. It is impossible to read this and have confidence in Biden's ability to serve until January 2029. He needs to pass the torch to a new nominee. https://t.co/wIRfrIo2LE
This is unreal, Biden is literally incoherent. And the scariest is: that's the side of him they let us see, imagine in private! In a responsible and functioning system he'd be sent to a nursing home asap, not put up for reelection with millions of lives on the line... https://t.co/XjiXPYwnUG
If you're concerned about Biden's cognitive performance, don't read the TIME transcript.🫣 https://t.co/34otuQRGNf
The new TIME interview with Biden is an utter disaster. Here is a thread with the soul-crushing lowlights https://t.co/fSSR0DNDI8
The White House is probably livid about how the Time article talks about his age, but it’s really noticeable. Voters see it, too, and are concerned.
This Biden Time interview validates all my worst concerns about him. An ageing delusional silent gen atlanticist with no grasp of constraints or threats that we actually face Its as bad as it can get folks
