Audio has emerged of just how much direction US President Joe Biden needs at a simple photo op, says Sky News host James Morrow. “And you can see why he needs the help,” Mr Morrow said. “Frankly, it’s all getting a little sad.”
The audio revealed that even during routine events, Biden required assistance with basic tasks like moving to a specific location and greeting people.
The audio began with Biden being directed on how to descend a ramp, with someone telling him, “right down here, yes sir, down the ramp.” Biden was also directed to a specific spot marked in blue before being introduced to union leaders and workers. Throughout the clip, the person assisting Biden provided clear and specific instructions on where to stand and who to greet.
We all should be expressing concern over the audio, because it is sad to see the president struggling with such basic tasks. He joins a growing chorus of people questioning Biden’s mental fitness for the presidency.
The audio clip is just the latest example of Biden’s struggles in public appearances, with some critics suggesting that he may not be fit to lead the country. While the audio may not be conclusive proof of any cognitive decline, it has certainly added fuel to the ongoing debate over Biden’s mental acuity.
