Is something neurologically wrong with Donald Trump?’ Yes, was Professor James Hamblin MD’s answer after the headline trumpeted in the Atlantic in January 2018. Yet in the election year that followed it was Biden who was being hidden in the cellar while Donald Trump embarked on an exhausting series of campaign rallies, giving largely unscripted bravura performances to his fanatical followers. Meanwhile on the rare occasion when his handlers let him out, Biden stumbled. On one occasion he forgot which state he was in. Shockingly, America’s Democrat-dominated media stayed silent about Biden’s failing health throughout the presidential campaign.
Though even Democratic commentators have noted the decline in 78-year-old Biden’s mental faculties since the election, curiously Hamblin, a staff writer on the Atlantic and a professor of public health at Yale, seems to have gone silent on the subject of presidential health. But nobody should be surprised by Biden’s decline. Cognitive impairment is normal in the elderly.
