In a way what's happening now is a speech impediment, but it's re-emerging as he loses ability in the same parts of the brain that handle critical thinking due to the normal effects of aging.
I'm just tired of so many people writing this stuff off. Like, it took 2 minutes to find those videos and show he hasn't always been like this. He just couldn't win until the only other option was trump. Even tho he was a much better candidate back then.
Quick edit:
Ironically something like the Havana weapon would actually cause this shit, it's incredibly unlikely someone used it on Biden for the debate...
But it's fucking 2024 y'all, who knows what's real anymore I guess.
Also, allegedly had a cold and probably got flustered after the first time he tripped on his words. And inexplicably kept trying to recite various metrics from memory.
People really underestimate how bad a cold can be. When I'm sick, it's so hard to function mentally that I can barely do my job.
I believe he was sick, and I believe this was just a case of unfortunate timing. What matters in politics is perception, though, and the perception isn't good.
