Further evidence (if you need it) of Biden's increasing dementia
2021-07-04
[American Thinker] Those of Joe Biden’s public behaviors that align with classic dementia symptoms are escalating. In the past few days, he strongly exhibited two symptoms: A type of belligerence that’s a cover-up for confusion and memory loss and a paranoid fear of those in charge of him.

I used to spend a lot of time in the company of doctors. What always fascinated me were the tales they told of dealing with patients with early-stage dementia. The most interesting point they made was that elderly people, so as not to lose face or admit their own fears, are superb at deflecting the questions aimed at assessing their cognitive skills and memory.

For example, one of the most common questions is "Who’s the president of the United States?" Rather than admitting that they don’t remember, people in early-stage dementia will get defensive or otherwise deflect. They might say, "That is incredibly insulting that you’d ask me that question," picking a fight to distract from their memory loss. Others might go for flattery: "I can’t believe that a young man like you doesn’t know who’s president. That’s just a silly question to ask me."

Biden perfectly illustrated that type of angry, defensive, deflecting behavior when reporters on Friday asked him about Afghanistan:

#5  #3 The question the reporter asked was a scripted question. When trying to answer it Biden actually said that he was briefed on that question on the plane on the way to the event. But then he had to pull out the cheat sheet they gave him on the plane and answer it that way.

His mind is gone.

#1  "Who’s the president of the United States?"

Nowadays that's actually a matter of opinion.
