Joe Biden made another comment that has people once again wondering what is going on with him. He continued to astonish the world with something crazy rolling off his tongue.

Being president of the United States is not a joking matter. It is the most powerful political position on the planet. People around the world, allies and enemies, look to the president for leadership. The U.S. president must be of sound body and mind.

Biden doesn’t seem to get this when it comes to maintaining the perception of power for the president. He blurted out an astonishing comment after his State of the Union address that caught the world off guard.

From the Washington Examiner:
As Biden made his way through the House chamber after delivering his remarks, he spoke with several members of Congress. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) remarked that “nobody’s going to talk about cognitively impaired now,” referring to Biden’s energy throughout the more than hourlong speech.

“I kind of wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired,” Biden jokingly replied.

Why on earth would he even consider joking about something like that considering all the criticism about his state of mental health? He just doesn’t get it which makes people wonder even more if he really has all his mental faculties.

Biden stood before a joint session of Congress for the fourth time on Thursday night. It was his third State of the Union address, and he had several off-the-cuff moments while facing several hecklers. He wanted to show the world he wasn’t suffering from cognitive decline.

Verbal gaffes and awkward moments have plagued Biden during his term in office. This has fueled negative speculation about his age and mental acuity as he seeks reelection. A damning assessment of his mental state was released last month when special counsel Robert Hur reported last month that he declined prosecution of Biden for his alleged mishandling of classified documents because of the president’s mental state and alleged “poor memory.”

Biden, now 81 years old, has been caught on camera freezing up or making errors during public appearances. He has confused the presidents of different countries, including referring to dead foreign leaders, when discussing important issues such as the war in Gaza.

Biden held his own during the State of the Union as he sharply criticized anyone who disagreed with him. He even caught Republicans by surprise in an unscripted moment when he mentioned the young Georgia woman allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant. Still, he got her name wrong, calling Laken Riley “Lincoln Riley” in his address.

Key Takeaways:

• Joe Biden shocked the world by saying he wished he was “cognitively impaired.”
• His State of the Union address left people wondering about his mental health.
• Biden’s faltering mental faculties have come under question as he seeks reelection.
