As a Senior Citizen I am aware of my cognitive condition. I am retiring next year from my 45 year career as a successful automotive technician because I know that I am at the point where I could become a safety liability to myself and my customers. I prefer to end with applause and gratitude rather than disgrace.
Just remember that, in the absence of dementia, older adults are just normal adults. Please don't be influenced by society's incredibly ignorant attitudes towards the aging process. Studies have shown that older adults without dementia perform just as well at their jobs as younger adults.
I really think there should be age limits for Congress and to become POTUS. The candidates should possibly get psychiatric evaluations, too. Some people in Congress are taking medicine for Alzheimer's. It's scary that these are the people running the country.
"Certain experiences will age a person prematurely and dramatically such as alcohol and drug consumption, spending time in prison, and watching the Kardashians". I laughed so hard Doc.
Watching the Kardashians just lowers the IQ by about 20 points. Unfortunately, the people who watch them, cannot afford to lose 20 points........Tragic.
He can't help himself I swear 😆😁😌 I don't mine and I don't care but to other people they dont like it when he does this because they think he's talking down to the people he's talking about Everything is always about Perception and Optics to a lot of people🤷♂️🤷
Thank you for this video. I stumbled onto your site a few weeks ago. After watching several, I subscribed. You have an amazing talent of delivering fact based opinion with some hilarious dry zingers. Can’t get enough.
The problem with everything being politicized is showing concern that he’s suffering from dementia and mentioning he’s too old to be doing this job is seen as an attack so the problem goes unaddressed. All because so many people are terrified of admitting to being wrong and no matter how much we suffer they feel it’s worth it all so they can avoid taking any responsibility
Ronald Reagan was clearly suffering from the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s during the last two years of his presidency. The more or less were able to hide it without a 24 hour news stream and social media. They wouldn’t be able to hide it today.
I’ll add that the elder abuse that Joe Biden is being subjected to, lays at,in large part, Jill Biden’s feet. How could any spouse allow what’s happening to him? I am not a Joe Biden fan. I never have been. But, this is so awful. My Dad has dementia. He has had it for close to 20 years. I would never, ever allow anyone to exploit him. It’s shameful.
True. I've met a few very lucid people who were in their 80s, and I've also met a few people with nascent dementia who were in their 50s. I wish presidential candidates were required to take a test for mental acuity regardless of their age.
I’m a SNAM in a private corp and I have to undergo cognitive tests from time to time, not to mention training and team building activities. All because I manage a £ 15 mill portfolio for the company. I can’t fathom how a man who manages the largest superpower in the world isn’t mandated to do the same. It’s mind blowing.
First, i very much agree with you. It's ridiculous. And second, as much as I hate to be political on a channel that seems to really devote itself to rational and balanced analysis, the progressives in our country are VERY powerful. They control most of the institutions in our society. The opposition party's response has not been great. And it will take at least a decade or two to build a cultural response. Why am I saying this? Because the double standard applied to Biden's fitness vs Trump or even Reagan when he was around is appalling. It's totally unfair. But it's the world we live in..
@@dontarguewithidiots7459 It's crazy the amount of bias there is in all things mainstream. I'm in my mid 40s now and it wasn't always this bad. It leaned left always but it's gotten to absurd ratios. Media, university, corporate, government, so on and so forth.
Joe Biden isn't running anything. The guy doesn't know what day of the week and is just a sock puppet. The bigger concern is WHO is really running this country and savagely running it into the ground.
During Joe's term many, many things that are positive have gotten done. But he doesnt brag about them. Hes old but things get done. Compared to what went on between 2016 and 2020 I'll take the Biden approach.
"I think it's a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden AND Donald Trump." YES! So many people are afraid to hold Biden's feet to the fire just because they don't want to look like Trump supporters. So long as Biden is Biden and not Trump, he can get away with anything. People need to know that it doesn't matter who's president. I don't care if it's Mary Poppins. Whoever it is, hold him/her accountable.
@@carolynstine3465 >> Of course he is. He’s received quid pro quo from foreign entities like Burisma. At the very least he’s guilty of influence peddling.
“The age of the President does not matter as much as the condition they are in” 👏🏼 just one of many examples why I like Dr Grande’s analyses and hearing his rationale. Thank you as always Dr Grande! 🤍🌵 Edited to also add his humour is just deadpan and gold lol
Age matters. Sorry. Even the fittest 85 year old is not going to have the mental agility of someone in middle age. The brain ages and changes, period, usually unbeknownst to the owner of that brain, which is one of the problems. They certainly may be able to do other jobs, but not these types of life and death decision making occupations. Surgeons stop performing surgery by a certain age for that reason too. Besides that, 80/85 year old people should not be making long term decisions for the younger generations that have to go on living with those decisions. The 30/40/50/60 somethings should be deciding what kind of country they will live in, and should have a chance at being in positions to make those decisions, not the 80 somethings who, in spite of their denial, will not be here that much longer and on some level have lower stakes in these matters and especially 80 somethings who have spent most of their lives in these positions keeping the younger generations out. There is no reason that someone of that age who is completely (and beyond) financially secure, should be allowed to continue on deciding for the majority of people how they should live their lives. They grew up at a different time and it shows.
It has had better options. People just want to be conformists and vote as if their one vote might be consequential in a way vastly different from the reality.
The problem is that political positions are a mostly closed system. Enter by becoming a senator early on, and spend your lifetime climbing the political ladder, possibly being chosen by the political elite to run and for and be president one day. Donald Trump was an anomaly.
@@serialamateur yes, you pretty much have to be chosen by the political elite, and then you have to be sanctioned by the corporate media. Someone who is too different than the standard will be called "unelectable" by the media, and this will create the belief among the populace that the outlier can't win. It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where people don't vote for the one that might actually change things because the media has convinced everyone they're not "electable."
He's had at least a couple of strokes. He would never pass even the easiest cognitive tests. I bet he can't even dress himself in the morning or know why that is a good thing to do before going outside.
You addressed the thought I had, that it was “Joe’s turn” to be president, due to what I am not sure, but they gave it to Joe for whatever reason. Not sure it was right for any of us.
Since there is a minimum age requirement for the presidency in the Constitution, I wonder if the only reason there isn’t also a maximum limit is that back in the 1700’s, life expectancy was SO much shorter that cognitive decline was not even considered back then. We should address this problem now, but it will probably will never happen because so many of our politicians of both parties are elderly. Next best solution would be cognitive tests, but they’ll fight that too.
We live in a gerontocracy, and this will not be changed because the people who would have to change this would lose their positions. You are right, there should have been a maximum age limit set in from the start. And not just for the presidency.
She is an ID*OT. She should be spending her golden years with him. She lives with him, she had to know he wasn't fit to start with. She wanted to be first lady so bad, no she is going to be spending her golden years changing his diapers. F her.
“If I were to list all the mistakes he made during his political career, I would have to work past my retirement” bruh that subtle joke right there 😂😂😂🤣
President Biden has decently served his country for many years. Yes he has made gaffes but which of us has not? I got in an elevator once with my boss and realized I had forgotten her name (I was 30!).
@@bthomson Many of his scrambled, cognitive absences have been diplomatically referred to as "gaffes"- they are NOT. Rather, many have been startling lapses in working memory or troubling embellishments in memory, neither of which are permissible or safe for the country or the leader of the free world. When you forget a coworker is dead and look for her in a meeting that's viewed by every wicked despot on the planet, you telegraph that the leader lacks the mental acuity to protect and guide this nation.
@@bthomson I agree with you, I have no issue with President Biden. I think he’s doing a great job honestly. I just.. the remarks Dr.Grande (the UA-camr in this video) makes out of no where without implying some sarcasm just make me laugh so much.
Many (most?) hospitals require a regular cognitive assessment of any physician on their medical staff age 70 or greater. Why not for the guy with his finger on the nuclear button?
It's elder abuse and it makes me so mad that everyone is just sitting back watching it happen. Why are we trained in some positions to learn to spot it, and are legally required to report it, yet this is just fine?!
It's not elder abuse except to the American's relying on their retirement funds which have tanked because of his poor decisions. He is being well taken care of
@@cradames He's been a massive improvement on the disastrous four years before him. The inflation and gas prices are global issues that aren't his fault. He's accomplished a fair amount so far.
Dr. Grande you are so right! I am 85, physically and mentally fit. I attend a gym 2 times a week and for mental stimulation, other than watching marvelous documentaries on TV I do the cryptic crosswords (which are guaranteed to keep you sharp if you can even do them) It is not the age, but the mental and physical fitness. Poor Joe is messed up.. Love your show. Keep up the good work. Cheers Pat in New Jersey
@@tgs5725 the point of getting someone not so fit is for the benefit of the party, he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control. President's don't have much power to begin with, but having someone not quite there as the symbolic puppet makes it easy to go on executing party goals with no resistance from the one person that has the authority to push back. This is elder abuse and benefits only the people around him.
@@dd-kapibara1070 "he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control." OR, in Biden they have someone whom insiders can blame when the xxxx caused by his handlers hits the fan.
Biden's mental deterioration aside, his policies are impractical and wrong-headed. For example, an Open Southern border during covid, a Fentanyl epidemic, and terrorists; a needless proxy war with nuclear-armed Russia; needless inflation caused by stupendous spending; Biden in his first week relinquished our energy independence to a regime that publicly. beheads people. All in all, Biden is a disaster whom the American people should have known was a disaster. But the voters were entrained to think 'Orange Man Bad.' Media unfairly demeaned Trump for years night and day. Trump might have had an objectionable personality sometimes, but his policies were pretty practical. Unfortunately, due perhaps to media propaganda, the public couldn't distinguish between Trump's policies and Trump's personality. Let's hope Biden's health holds up. Kamala Harris is even worse than Biden.
I read the comments before I watched the video. I thought he was going to say some people, like the Kardashians, never had any cognitive function, even in their twenties or thirties.
I was in the Army for 4 years. I was dx with Parkinson's disease at 26. I worked full-time until, taking medications and waiting for meds to work, began to interfere with my abilities to function. I was medically retired at 36. I had maxed out all of the daily recommended doses of my meds in an effort or attempt to perform high level daily work activities. I'm 58, I've had Parkinson's for 31 years. I have had to face my limitations, head on. Being self aware is a blessing and a curse, that a lot of people do not have the full impact of. At any rate, there came a time, that I had to admit that my cognitive impairments could be a danger to myself and others. I was forced to stop riding my motorcycle. Learning to accept, learn, take full responsibility for my actions, despite what I wanted and needed, were a necessary evil. I had to go through all of that, to become a better person. I believe that I am a better Granny for it. It's a shame to me, that someone else has the ego, to put their own life, wants, needs and desires before their own country.
IMO - I agree. I don't get it. Why isn't there someone who is a licensed, certified mental health professional to provide guidance to all our presidents? No one is perfect. Currently, we have never been closer to nuclear war, our energy policies are helping to fuel the recession, and crime appears to be out of control etc. I don't care which party a person wishes to vote for. An incompetent president is nothing to take lightly, and can have very serious consequences..
He was put there by Leftist operatives. They picked the dumbest because he and Kamala are the most easily manipulated. Don't f.. with the Bidens. How about this: don't f... with the American public.
Hats off for you for keeping so long with this horrible disease. My aunt lived with Parkinson's and dementia for 14 years before they started taking hold of her. She did everything she could to slow down the progress and exercised her mind and motor skills: crosswords, sudoku, fidgeting, gardening, etc. She was fiercely independent, always active and headstrong lady and it was heartbreaking to watch her deteriorate and become a shell of former self
Well, I am 75 years old. I feel that I am very sharp mentally. I take care of two little pre-school grandsons, I am a vegetarian, I do not drink, smoke, or use alcohol, and keep very busy daily. I had my yearly physical a week ago, and all of my labs were in the "normal" zone, including my BP and my BMI. I plan on living a lot longer, mainly because I have never watched the Kardashians, thank God! As far as Biden "not acknowledging the truth"...after all, he IS a politician.
@@Brutus_Kennedy_Rutherford_III As a non American I can see that you don't care, you elected a corrupt, treasonous cabbage who couldn't run a bath never mind a country, enjoy your coming poverty.
It is terrifying....I just hope they don't let him near the nuclear codes and the launch button like they let him around little kids to molest!!! This country has been in sad shape ever since this corpse was allowed anywhere near a position of power!
I worked at a school as a teacher for 4 years. The principle and founder of this private school was over 85 years old. She was incredibly sharp and certainly fit for her position.
I know many oldies who are sharp as tacks, they have invaluable experience. I don’t want any of them to run the country though. It’s too taxing of a job and too important for very elderly people to do. I don’t even understand what kind of person would want to live their final years in politics.
My father is 89 years old and is still running our family’s business. Totally sharp, has a better memory than most, helps the community, extremely smart, dresses in business suits, attorneys go to him for advice and to seek professional solutions. Plus, he doesn’t look his age, extremely active, walks fast and goes up the stairs like nothing. I can relate to your comment. May God bless this wonderful woman principal as well ✨ I hope that she writes a book of wisdom. Edit: added to my comment 😊
I’m 69, worked as a health physicist. Now retired. I’ve noticed a slight memory decline from just 10 years earlier. He’s turning 80, no way he can lead.
I’m always happy to see a new video come out- even if I don’t agree with some of your positions- which is rare- I’m always grateful to hear / see a calm presentation of another view to provide balance to my reasoning. I’m not republican or democrat- so my vote doesn’t belong to any party - i vote for the best candidate. I knew Biden/ Camilla would make a mess- and they have!!! If Biden had at least chosen a stronger VP - one who was actually a front runner with Joe- I wouldn’t be as concerned. 🤦🏻♀️SMH
Yes, especially when he's taking the whole country down with him. I realize he may not be the one actually running things, but he still has the title of president. It's not a good look to have the titular leader of the free world doddering around like a lost sheep. It doesn't encourage either confidence or respect among the global community. 🤔
My first reaction was compassion and feeling sad but then I reminded myself of how he was and things he was saying and doing when Biden was younger. No pity whatsoever! Yep, karma is a….dog female😂
We didn’t elect his advisors. He visited a radio station on 4th of July and said he was the first black woman to serve a black president. Then confused the 4th of July for Christmas.
When my father was no longer capable of driving safely, my brothers and I started talking to him about giving up his license. He refused to accept there was a problem, he refused to discuss it with the doctor, he refused to get an eyesight test, he completely dismissed us. There was nothing we could do (the doctor wouldn’t discuss the issue with us). I’m sure there are people around Biden using the situation but the family might be helpless
You never know what is going on behind the scenes. My mom had early onset dementia. My siblings were pressing me to take our mom to practice driving, after she failed her exam, twice. I was really frightened by my mom’s driving. I told my siblings that there is no way mom should be driving. They didn’t listen.
Lets just say that certain people's sons with drug and sex scandals, who also just so happens to have had illicit business dealings in China and Ukraine were probably threatened with investigation and prosecution unless their father cooperated and agreed to be used. He did it to protect his family from their crimes, and is probably as much a prisoner of the system as the rest of us. Problem is that his mind is going quickly, and more and more people are beginning to notice. Methinks the powers that be are about to start the gears moving on getting rid of him now that he's outlived his usefulness. 🤔 If the GoP sweeps the midterms next month, Brandon will be the first person the Dems will blame, just watch and see.
It’s not that he’s too old, it’s that his cognitive ability started decreasing before he ran for president. Look at a clip of him in the 80s or 90s, and compare it to him today.
You are so right about politicians and their declining cognitive abilities! I live in California where Senator Dianne Feinstein, still in office as a Senator, 🙄, after 40+ years in politics; she can’t remember what she did a week ago, and rarely shows up to cast her vote for her constituents! Some say she’s embarrassing herself by continuing her term with such high decline and others say she has served her State for SO LONG, she is just entitled to keep her seat. To remove her would be disrespectful.🤨 I think she should retire gracefully and do right by the voters that put her in office for so many years. She represents a large population of Northern California and watching her become ineffective and incompetent, is a huge slap in the face of today’s voters. When is it a duty, to make those decisions for the greater cause? Great content as always Dr.G!!
The people of California effectively have zero representation because Diane Feinstein won't do the right thing and step aside, AND those in power are more concerned with not "disrespecting" Diane than they are with the laws, the rights of the people, and the will of Californians.
As the daughter and a sister I have seen it. My brother in his fifties with dementia and my father with Alzheimer’s. Neither one made any sense. The saddest was my brother, he would swear he would see things that he THOUGHT he saw. My father stayed his sweet self, but the mind was gone.
"I think it's a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden and Donald Trump." And with that the doctor has just crashed the brains of about 90% of commenters.
I don't like Biden because he's a liar and a racist. He's also unfit to be president on many levels. I don't like Trump because he's weird. He was also was a great president. Perhaps more people than you assume can separate the personality of the man and his capabilities of doing his job.
If we get back to a place where we expect our elected government officials to do anything other than look out for themselves, their family and their cronies, then getting people with mental capacity will be more important.
Seriously my dad had Alzheimer’s. They don’t exactly lie, they make up stories to fill in blanks, it’s called confabulation. And when I told him when I was in the car with him that he couldn’t turn left on red he got mad at me and insisted he was correct so I took away his car keys. He never admitted he was slipping, he’d always been an extremely competent man and who worked into his 70s.
True...but there's 1.6 billion people in China and Winnie the Pooh has been in charge there for a decade. So yeah, it's a whole world of crazy we live in.🤔
Pierrette Herbert, Yeah that's exactly it. We have a lot of brilliant people but a small percentage make it to the white house for some reason. Maybe it's partly the fault of our fascination with people who are in Hollywood or on TV?
Doesn't speak much for freedom of choice if two dickos are running and the only choice you have is between an orange wanna be mafioso and another one that cannot keep his hands off little girls.
The issue is the incompetent media. They have become the de facto PR wing of the Democrats, ensuring that any woke boob the Dems put forward will receive the endorsement of every media outlet and receive gushing coverage. Conversely, regardless of who the republicans put forward, they will be reviled and receive 24 hour negative coverage. The corrupt and incompetent FBI will investigate them and manufacture crimes. This is what we have become. (Not that Trump was someone that deserved to be President)
@@tomruth9487 two things can be true at the same time. It’s also deeper than what appears on the surface. “They” have been a theater show for quite some time now.
‘HE’S NEVER LET REALITY GET IN THE WAY OF HIS AMBITION BEFORE, WHY SHOULD HE START NOW?’ That has to be one of my favorite “Grandeisms” I have heard yet. Love you and your witty commentary Dr Grande.
Excellent video, Dr. Grande. I might have added something about how a weak U.S. president who has obvious signs of cognitive decline will be perceived by other world leaders (allies and enemies) who might see this as representative of our country being increasingly vulnerable to malicious external manipulation.
@@tjcole6249 Russia invading Ukraine has been the result 8+ years of recent history and US and Russian moves going to boiling point, not everything revolves around American domestic politics. I swear Americans have some form of what I call "political narcissism", either that or they are desperate to attach every foreign policy failure to whoever is in charge for political reasons domestically.
The problem is that generally the type of person who gets to the point where they can run for president is not the type of person you'd want to be president (though they might try to hide it).
I agree with cognitive testing. Would love to go one step further making all presidential and vice presidential candidates take and pass a general intelligence exam related to understanding the constitution and history of the United States and the world. Scares me that in recent years intelligence is not valued or exhibited in presidents taking office.
It was clear he had cognitive problems two years ago when you made a video and said he didn't. Glad you finally caught up to reality. Many people have been asking you to reconsider your evaluation.
My father had dementia which turned into Alzheimer's. I could tell when he was running he had mental issues. NOW, I can't even watch. It's really sad, no one in his party, or his WIFE, has put an end to this. What is it going to take?
Education never equates intelligence. Most of us with 2 actual braincells to rub together have always known Biden to have been a fool since 2008. Blows my mind how stupid and clueless "81 million" people are.
The White House doctor for both Obama and Trump has gone on record saying Biden exhibits every single sign of dementia and doesn't believe he is capable of finishing out the term.
I couldn’t stop laughing. You have a great sense of fun. It’s not just Joe Biden who’s a problem. Kamala Harris got confused between North and South Korea. In a speech she picked the wrong side as Americas’s ally!
So has Trump. He's got love letters from a dictator that starves his own people whilst drinking Hennessey. KJU is one of the biggest buyers of Hennessey too. Trump recently said, KJU knows what he's doing, he gets it. How anyone points out poor knowledge of geography compared to dictatorship, says everything.
Oh is that what she meant? I was wondering about the “close relationship” we have with NK. I didn’t see the whole speech so didn’t know what she was going on about.
Or the Biden Administration decided secretly to go Trump one better by making Kim Jung Un our ally and South Korea our enemy. Maybe Joe Biden told Kamala Harris that's the way it is, or maybe Joe's teleporter said it.
@@thecove4770 Yes. That’s correct. I’m not American but I’m pretty sure that North Korea is your enemy, as it is to the rest of the world. Her explanation of where Ukraine is why Russia invaded is proof that she needs lessons in not only history but geography too!
Who is demanding this? Republicans will let anybody run regardless of lack of qualifications, intelligence or moral integrity...just as long as they win the popularity contest
By the time of the general election we didn't have a choice of someone who was fit, just someone who thought the U.S. was more important than himself, and someone who didn't.
I'm still trying to figure out him calling the young lady in New Hampshire a "lying dog-faced pony soldier." Putting political ideology aside, I am concerned by what I see in his public appearances. I saw similar patterns to cognitive decline in some older relatives and friends and during my time working in a senior nursing facility. Dr. Grande, I'd be interested to see an analysis of the type of people who excuse, refuse to see, or try explain away his gaffes and memory lapses. Or is that just politics?
I’m glad you mentioned Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, Dr. Grande. She represented the district we live in. She was killed in a car accident in our state of Indiana, working hard for the people. Yes, the other day in a meeting Biden was searching the room looking for her. She worked so hard for the “little people “ Especially Veterans’s when they couldn’t get help from the big dogs. Biden could find her, if he went to a cemetery in South Bend, Indiana. It’s demoralizing 😢. Connie G.🇺🇸🤗
Thanks so much for taking the time to remind us of the real person whose death sparked this whole issue. She sounds like a remarkable person who took the words "public service" seriously.
“I think it’s a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.” Dr. Grande, you truly are the voice of reason! Why does it seem the majority of the country cannot seem to find the fact in your statement? Why does anti Biden have to equal pro Trump, and vice versa? Yes, I have to hope America can do better.
There’s quite a bit of variation in functioning at 79. Mick Jagger is very close in age and is still performing. I don’t think our current leader couldn’t take a sh*t without supervision.
Yet for the guys in the band of King Crimson cannot do the same even though they are the same age as Mick Jagger they had to cancel their whole Rock Tour for this year and next year because they cannot mentally take on the performance that it needs to take to be on stage
@@tantelila7464 That seems to be what happened, but the number of people who believed that a difference of their one measly vote had a non-negligible chance of saving the election/the country/the world is absolutely staggering. People need to get time and space away from the constant buzz of society and give themselves a chance to slough off their conformism.
Many thanks for tackling this one. Biden may not be consistently off, but when someone with his level of responsibility exhibits several bouts of "episodic impaired cognitive performance", one can't avoid feeling more than a little unsettled.... It leaves you wondering as to who is really calling the shots. I sincerely hope the US will find better options for leadership *on both sides of the polítical spectrum* soon.... There have to be better and more sensible options!
This is what you get when old rich powerful people have had that wealth and power for a long time and don't want to give it up, probably because they fear the young up-and-coming crop and what they will do. Sadly alot of them are about to have no choice. Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and will be no longer be speaker of the house two months from now. The "president" will be 80 next month, is clearly suffering from the early symptoms of dementia, and his vp is a clueless diversity hire that nobody likes. The next couple years are going to be interesting. 🤔
- maybe I missed it but you didn’t mention his TWO aneurysms - and if you look at videos of him from barely five years ago he acts much more lucid, speaks in a much more rapid and robust tone, and was a much more responsive and alert horse’s ass.
I would like to know what the evidence is that he does NOT have dementia. Aging doesn't usually deteriorate that quickly, especially in a healthier individual, and many of his confusions are too severe to be contributed aging.
As a RN who has done considerable work with the elderly, I fully agree. His constellation of symptoms are consistent with early stages of dementia. Keep in mind he has a large team of supporters and aids that are doing their best to keep his cognitive decline hidden but it still shows. It is likely even worse than it looks which is a very risky form of denial.
Not as frightening as having this country turn into a autocracy created by Trump! AND, Trump has been committing crimes since he started going into real estate! He isn’t going to change
What about his pathological lying? He tells the same lies over along with the new ones he dreams up. His education of 3 degrees, top of his class. On and on..
Don’t forget the ones that actually caused massive deaths like “the jab works” and the blocking of treatments that work. Or all the people who lost their jobs for the jab, only to find out Joe’s pressure on the companies to mandate them was known by him to be illegal from the start.
I wasn't going to listen to this because I'm not a fan of the President but I'm glad I did! I enjoyed your overview of Joe (& with such a straight face)
I wasn't going to listen to it because I am a fan of the president. I would have preferred any one of several candidates who ran, but the reality is that Biden was who people would vote for rather than not voting at all. A candidate who actually wanted to do anything really, couldn't have won.
Messing up names & substituting one word for another is something I’ve done since my late teens. But anyone who has lived with an aging parent Biden is quite concerning especially the getting lost & confusing memories
@@rottingravensblood9106 I didn't vote for that idiot. Sometimes we have to be realistic and admit that the best person didn't win - and the media made sure of it. I support JB but he is not the same person as he used to be and we are all worse off because of it.
Thanks for a balanced review. I didn't want Joe Biden to be nominated in 2020 because of a close relative. At 86, my relative walked 4 miles per day, but at 90, he had health and memory issues. He was diagnosed with cancer, but his general fitness problems snowballed quickly; he just didn't have the resilience he would have had at 66. It could be the stress and travel requirements have increased everyday aging problems in Biden, but under no circumstances should he run again in 2024.

The debacle you mean.
Thank you for this video. I stumbled onto your site a few weeks ago. After watching several, I subscribed. You have an amazing talent of delivering fact based opinion with some hilarious dry zingers. Can’t get enough.
Ditto from me!
The problem with everything being politicized is showing concern that he’s suffering from dementia and mentioning he’s too old to be doing this job is seen as an attack so the problem goes unaddressed. All because so many people are terrified of admitting to being wrong and no matter how much we suffer they feel it’s worth it all so they can avoid taking any responsibility
Ronald Reagan was clearly suffering from the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s during the last two years of his presidency. The more or less were able to hide it without a 24 hour news stream and social media. They wouldn’t be able to hide it today.
That’s absolutely the playbook. It’s really awful what they are doing to that man
I’ll add that the elder abuse that Joe Biden is being subjected to, lays at,in large part, Jill Biden’s feet. How could any spouse allow what’s happening to him? I am not a Joe Biden fan. I never have been. But, this is so awful. My Dad has dementia. He has had it for close to 20 years. I would never, ever allow anyone to exploit him. It’s shameful.
Good points
Queen Elizabeth II was 96 and lucid when she passed. Not everyone ages the same.
True. I've met a few very lucid people who were in their 80s, and I've also met a few people with nascent dementia who were in their 50s. I wish presidential candidates were required to take a test for mental acuity regardless of their age.
@@zxyatiywariii8 Not to get personal, but my own mother died at 102, and she was perfectly lucid.
My mother had alzheimers and dementia. If I allowed my mother to be treated like this I would be in prison.
Its all about Jill. I bet these people are now "insufferable".
Same.
I’m a SNAM in a private corp and I have to undergo cognitive tests from time to time, not to mention training and team building activities. All because I manage a £ 15 mill portfolio for the company. I can’t fathom how a man who manages the largest superpower in the world isn’t mandated to do the same. It’s mind blowing.
First, i very much agree with you. It's ridiculous. And second, as much as I hate to be political on a channel that seems to really devote itself to rational and balanced analysis, the progressives in our country are VERY powerful. They control most of the institutions in our society. The opposition party's response has not been great. And it will take at least a decade or two to build a cultural response. Why am I saying this? Because the double standard applied to Biden's fitness vs Trump or even Reagan when he was around is appalling. It's totally unfair. But it's the world we live in..

Joe Biden isn't running anything. The guy doesn't know what day of the week and is just a sock puppet. The bigger concern is WHO is really running this country and savagely running it into the ground.
@@peggydavis6418 i would only say that the mental requirements are of a very different nature.
The question should not be whether he is too old, but simply if he is cognitively able to do the job.
For example, Senator Fetterman. Only 54, but it’s questionable whether he’s all there mentally.
We need an age limit like any other job. He’s past retirement age.
During Joe's term many, many things that are positive have gotten done.
But he doesnt brag about them. Hes old but things get done.
Compared to what went on between 2016 and 2020 I'll take the Biden approach.

"I think it's a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden AND Donald Trump."
YES! So many people are afraid to hold Biden's feet to the fire just because they don't want to look like Trump supporters. So long as Biden is Biden and not Trump, he can get away with anything. People need to know that it doesn't matter who's president. I don't care if it's Mary Poppins. Whoever it is, hold him/her accountable.
Then the same should hold true for Trump! But Biden is not breaking any laws. See my comments above.

Dr grande, sit-down comic, lol
Age matters. Sorry. Even the fittest 85 year old is not going to have the mental agility of someone in middle age. The brain ages and changes, period, usually unbeknownst to the owner of that brain, which is one of the problems. They certainly may be able to do other jobs, but not these types of life and death decision making occupations. Surgeons stop performing surgery by a certain age for that reason too. Besides that, 80/85 year old people should not be making long term decisions for the younger generations that have to go on living with those decisions. The 30/40/50/60 somethings should be deciding what kind of country they will live in, and should have a chance at being in positions to make those decisions, not the 80 somethings who, in spite of their denial, will not be here that much longer and on some level have lower stakes in these matters and especially 80 somethings who have spent most of their lives in these positions keeping the younger generations out. There is no reason that someone of that age who is completely (and beyond) financially secure, should be allowed to continue on deciding for the majority of people how they should live their lives. They grew up at a different time and it shows.
"Watching the Kardashians".. number one factor of degenerative aging here in America.
The Kardashians are a barometer of complete societal decay. They never did a single thing worth mentioning.
Never seen it. : )
You are right. This country really should have better options than what we have had in the past few decades. I love your analysis
It has had better options. People just want to be conformists and vote as if their one vote might be consequential in a way vastly different from the reality.
The problem is that political positions are a mostly closed system. Enter by becoming a senator early on, and spend your lifetime climbing the political ladder, possibly being chosen by the political elite to run and for and be president one day. Donald Trump was an anomaly.
@@serialamateur yes, you pretty much have to be chosen by the political elite, and then you have to be sanctioned by the corporate media. Someone who is too different than the standard will be called "unelectable" by the media, and this will create the belief among the populace that the outlier can't win. It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where people don't vote for the one that might actually change things because the media has convinced everyone they're not "electable."
I agree completely!!!

You addressed the thought I had, that it was “Joe’s turn” to be president, due to what I am not sure, but they gave it to Joe for whatever reason. Not sure it was right for any of us.
Since there is a minimum age requirement for the presidency in the Constitution, I wonder if the only reason there isn’t also a maximum limit is that back in the 1700’s, life expectancy was SO much shorter that cognitive decline was not even considered back then. We should address this problem now, but it will probably will never happen because so many of our politicians of both parties are elderly. Next best solution would be cognitive tests, but they’ll fight that too.
We live in a gerontocracy, and this will not be changed because the people who would have to change this would lose their positions. You are right, there should have been a maximum age limit set in from the start. And not just for the presidency.
I would love both a minimum and maximum age requirement for the US presidency.

@@tgs5725 the point of getting someone not so fit is for the benefit of the party, he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control. President's don't have much power to begin with, but having someone not quite there as the symbolic puppet makes it easy to go on executing party goals with no resistance from the one person that has the authority to push back. This is elder abuse and benefits only the people around him.
@@dd-kapibara1070 "he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control." OR, in Biden they have someone whom insiders can blame when the xxxx caused by his handlers hits the fan.
Biden's mental deterioration aside, his policies are impractical and wrong-headed. For example, an Open Southern border during covid, a Fentanyl epidemic, and terrorists; a needless proxy war with nuclear-armed Russia; needless inflation caused by stupendous spending; Biden in his first week relinquished our energy independence to a regime that publicly. beheads people.
All in all, Biden is a disaster whom the American people should have known was a disaster. But the voters were entrained to think 'Orange Man Bad.' Media unfairly demeaned Trump for years night and day.
Trump might have had an objectionable personality sometimes, but his policies were pretty practical. Unfortunately, due perhaps to media propaganda, the public couldn't distinguish between Trump's policies and Trump's personality.
Let's hope Biden's health holds up. Kamala Harris is even worse than Biden.
Thanks Dems for handing us President Biden and VP Kamala Harris. What excellent judgement ;-)
The mainstream media almost never talks about the serious stroke he suffered back in the 80s.
Referencing the Kardashians was the highlight of the video 🤣
Thank you Dr. Grande. Love your sense of humour.

The "Ks" are low hanging fruit!
You beat me to it !!!Lmao
Agree!!
I read the comments before I watched the video. I thought he was going to say some people, like the Kardashians, never had any cognitive function, even in their twenties or thirties.
I was in the Army for 4 years. I was dx with Parkinson's disease at 26. I worked full-time until, taking medications and waiting for meds to work, began to interfere with my abilities to function. I was medically retired at 36. I had maxed out all of the daily recommended doses of my meds in an effort or attempt to perform high level daily work activities.
I'm 58, I've had Parkinson's for 31 years. I have had to face my limitations, head on. Being self aware is a blessing and a curse, that a lot of people do not have the full impact of.
At any rate, there came a time, that I had to admit that my cognitive impairments could be a danger to myself and others. I was forced to stop riding my motorcycle.
Learning to accept, learn, take full responsibility for my actions, despite what I wanted and needed, were a necessary evil. I had to go through all of that, to become a better person. I believe that I am a better Granny for it.
It's a shame to me, that someone else has the ego, to put their own life, wants, needs and desires before their own country.
IMO - I agree. I don't get it. Why isn't there someone who is a licensed, certified mental health professional to provide guidance to all our presidents? No one is perfect. Currently, we have never been closer to nuclear war, our energy policies are helping to fuel the recession, and crime appears to be out of control etc. I don't care which party a person wishes to vote for. An incompetent president is nothing to take lightly, and can have very serious consequences..
He was put there by Leftist operatives. They picked the dumbest because he and Kamala are the most easily manipulated. Don't f.. with the Bidens. How about this: don't f... with the American public.
Hats off for you for keeping so long with this horrible disease. My aunt lived with Parkinson's and dementia for 14 years before they started taking hold of her. She did everything she could to slow down the progress and exercised her mind and motor skills: crosswords, sudoku, fidgeting, gardening, etc. She was fiercely independent, always active and headstrong lady and it was heartbreaking to watch her deteriorate and become a shell of former self
I agree with you 100%. God speed and God Bless!
That's extremely early in life. Please look into as many alternative treatments as humanly possible. Bless your journey.

Yes, especially when he's taking the whole country down with him. I realize he may not be the one actually running things, but he still has the title of president. It's not a good look to have the titular leader of the free world doddering around like a lost sheep. It doesn't encourage either confidence or respect among the global community. 🤔
My first reaction was compassion and feeling sad but then I reminded myself of how he was and things he was saying and doing when Biden was younger. No pity whatsoever! Yep, karma is a….dog female😂

Totally agree. It's really terrifying
We didn’t elect his advisors. He visited a radio station on 4th of July and said he was the first black woman to serve a black president. Then confused the 4th of July for Christmas.
Why would Joe’s wife and family let him continue like this? He’s being used.
When my father was no longer capable of driving safely, my brothers and I started talking to him about giving up his license. He refused to accept there was a problem, he refused to discuss it with the doctor, he refused to get an eyesight test, he completely dismissed us. There was nothing we could do (the doctor wouldn’t discuss the issue with us). I’m sure there are people around Biden using the situation but the family might be helpless
You never know what is going on behind the scenes. My mom had early onset dementia. My siblings were pressing me to take our mom to practice driving, after she failed her exam, twice. I was really frightened by my mom’s driving. I told my siblings that there is no way mom should be driving. They didn’t listen.
His wife knows 100% he is not fit for the office of president.
That breaks my heart. He needs to be retired .
Lets just say that certain people's sons with drug and sex scandals, who also just so happens to have had illicit business dealings in China and Ukraine were probably threatened with investigation and prosecution unless their father cooperated and agreed to be used. He did it to protect his family from their crimes, and is probably as much a prisoner of the system as the rest of us. Problem is that his mind is going quickly, and more and more people are beginning to notice. Methinks the powers that be are about to start the gears moving on getting rid of him now that he's outlived his usefulness. 🤔 If the GoP sweeps the midterms next month, Brandon will be the first person the Dems will blame, just watch and see.
It’s not that he’s too old, it’s that his cognitive ability started decreasing before he ran for president. Look at a clip of him in the 80s or 90s, and compare it to him today.
You are so right about politicians and their declining cognitive abilities! I live in California where Senator Dianne Feinstein, still in office as a Senator, 🙄, after 40+ years in politics; she can’t remember what she did a week ago, and rarely shows up to cast her vote for her constituents! Some say she’s embarrassing herself by continuing her term with such high decline and others say she has served her State for SO LONG, she is just entitled to keep her seat. To remove her would be disrespectful.🤨 I think she should retire gracefully and do right by the voters that put her in office for so many years. She represents a large population of Northern California and watching her become ineffective and incompetent, is a huge slap in the face of today’s voters. When is it a duty, to make those decisions for the greater cause? Great content as always Dr.G!!
She’s not going to give up her power. Why do people keep voting for her?
The people of California effectively have zero representation because Diane Feinstein won't do the right thing and step aside, AND those in power are more concerned with not "disrespecting" Diane than they are with the laws, the rights of the people, and the will of Californians.
She actually represents the entire state of California…it seems like a real shit show out there. All of my family hauled ass out and went to Texas!
It's far too late for grace.
Just look at phony- pelosi like she's having too many martinis at lunch, before she gets in front of a microphone.
Extremely well done!
As the daughter and a sister I have seen it. My brother in his fifties with dementia and my father with Alzheimer’s. Neither one made any sense. The saddest was my brother, he would swear he would see things that he THOUGHT he saw. My father stayed his sweet self, but the mind was gone.

This is so much one of my favorite sayings I had to actually screenshot this
You mean centrist Joe Biden?
Needs an update. Media and WH gaslit the public for years on his cognitive health
Excellent video, Dr. Grande. I might have added something about how a weak U.S. president who has obvious signs of cognitive decline will be perceived by other world leaders (allies and enemies) who might see this as representative of our country being increasingly vulnerable to malicious external manipulation.
And they would be very right in that assumption. We are a collapsing empire, and there’s no turning back.
@@BikingVikingHH Nah, just the last gasps of boomers.
To be fair y’all have had 6+ years of this in the Office
hence Russia invading Ukraine 😢
@@tjcole6249 Russia invading Ukraine has been the result 8+ years of recent history and US and Russian moves going to boiling point, not everything revolves around American domestic politics. I swear Americans have some form of what I call "political narcissism", either that or they are desperate to attach every foreign policy failure to whoever is in charge for political reasons domestically.
The problem is that generally the type of person who gets to the point where they can run for president is not the type of person you'd want to be president (though they might try to hide it).
Well there are many moral people who live their lives without a blemish. Too bad they don't run for office
I agree with cognitive testing. Would love to go one step further making all presidential and vice presidential candidates take and pass a general intelligence exam related to understanding the constitution and history of the United States and the world. Scares me that in recent years intelligence is not valued or exhibited in presidents taking office.
And how Pres Bidens Supreme Court nominee had NO idea what Articles of the Constitution stated or meant. Scary.
Nice to hear an educated and impartial opinion on the matter. Thank you!
🤣Biden is an unscrupulous career politician. His age and cognitive decline make him an even more perfect puppet now. What could go wrong?
It was clear he had cognitive problems two years ago when you made a video and said he didn't. Glad you finally caught up to reality. Many people have been asking you to reconsider your evaluation.
That’s because this “Dr” is a biased Liberal.
I was thinking the same thing. But this doctor still doesn't think he has dementia.
My father had dementia which turned into Alzheimer's. I could tell when he was running he had mental issues. NOW, I can't even watch. It's really sad, no one in his party, or his WIFE, has put an end to this. What is it going to take?
Education never equates intelligence. Most of us with 2 actual braincells to rub together have always known Biden to have been a fool since 2008.
Blows my mind how stupid and clueless "81 million" people are.
The White House doctor for both Obama and Trump has gone on record saying Biden exhibits every single sign of dementia and doesn't believe he is capable of finishing out the term.
I couldn’t stop laughing. You have a great sense of fun. It’s not just Joe Biden who’s a problem. Kamala Harris got confused between North and South Korea. In a speech she picked the wrong side as Americas’s ally!
Dumb and dumber.
So has Trump. He's got love letters from a dictator that starves his own people whilst drinking Hennessey. KJU is one of the biggest buyers of Hennessey too. Trump recently said, KJU knows what he's doing, he gets it. How anyone points out poor knowledge of geography compared to dictatorship, says everything.
Oh is that what she meant? I was wondering about the “close relationship” we have with NK. I didn’t see the whole speech so didn’t know what she was going on about.
Or the Biden Administration decided secretly to go Trump one better by making Kim Jung Un our ally and South Korea our enemy. Maybe Joe Biden told Kamala Harris that's the way it is, or maybe Joe's teleporter said it.
@@thecove4770 Yes. That’s correct. I’m not American but I’m pretty sure that North Korea is your enemy, as it is to the rest of the world. Her explanation of where Ukraine is why Russia invaded is proof that she needs lessons in not only history but geography too!
Thank you so much for making this video!!!
He cracks me up hahaha
It’s true that this type of obvious cognitive hiccuping would interfere with the very core of critical thinking skills we demand of our leaders.
Who is demanding this? Republicans will let anybody run regardless of lack of qualifications, intelligence or moral integrity...just as long as they win the popularity contest
You are a brave brave soul
Yep, you might be getting a visit from the F.B.I.
Dr Grande choosing his battles this week haha, love to see it. Thanks again doc.
They don’t go around calling him the potato and chief for no reason.
He wanders off. Repeatedly. Of course he’s unfit! Those of is who’ve seen dementia recognize it. Thank you, Dr. Grande.
7:47
We're not discussing Boris Johnson here.
By the time of the general election we didn't have a choice of someone who was fit, just someone who thought the U.S. was more important than himself, and someone who didn't.
@@mistyhaney5565 exactly.
I'm still trying to figure out him calling the young lady in New Hampshire a "lying dog-faced pony soldier." Putting political ideology aside, I am concerned by what I see in his public appearances. I saw similar patterns to cognitive decline in some older relatives and friends and during my time working in a senior nursing facility. Dr. Grande, I'd be interested to see an analysis of the type of people who excuse, refuse to see, or try explain away his gaffes and memory lapses. Or is that just politics?
Yes, it's politics. Show no weakness is part of the psyche.
I’m glad you mentioned Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, Dr. Grande.
She represented the district we live in.
She was killed in a car accident in our state of Indiana, working hard for the people.
Yes, the other day in a meeting Biden was searching the room looking for her.
She worked so hard for the “little people “
Especially Veterans’s when they couldn’t get help from the big dogs.
Biden could find her, if he went to a cemetery in South Bend, Indiana.
It’s demoralizing 😢.
Connie G.🇺🇸🤗
Thanks so much for taking the time to remind us of the real person whose death sparked this whole issue. She sounds like a remarkable person who took the words "public service" seriously.
@@natekeyes2297 “sparked this whole issue”? bro his brain has been on the decline for the past 5 years 😂
@@lakemonster10 Trump has dementia too. He rambles off into oblivion and mispronounced words all the time. Lol
It's sad he forgot, but it's also an honor that he mentioned her directly
@@loreleilazuli8874 Might be true, but at least Trump cannot order a nuke strike.
I hope that Trump avoids running again. Once of him was enough.
“I think it’s a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.” Dr. Grande, you truly are the voice of reason! Why does it seem the majority of the country cannot seem to find the fact in your statement? Why does anti Biden have to equal pro Trump, and vice versa? Yes, I have to hope America can do better.
Exactly!
Thank you for clarifying the difference between actual age and cognitive ability.
One of the most humorous, yet honest, assessments of Biden I've ever seen. Brilliantly done!
Dr. Grande humor is great he definitely could have been a comedian
There’s quite a bit of variation in functioning at 79. Mick Jagger is very close in age and is still performing. I don’t think our current leader couldn’t take a sh*t without supervision.
Yet for the guys in the band of King Crimson cannot do the same even though they are the same age as Mick Jagger they had to cancel their whole Rock Tour for this year and next year because they cannot mentally take on the performance that it needs to take to be on stage
His attraction to young girls should be addressed too!
Seriously! There are a ton of videos of him sniffing their hair. Disgusting...
my mom is 85 and sharp as a knife, my dad is 83 and basically senile... nothing to do with age
Next Question: Should President Reagan have been removed from office once he was secretly diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
Kicking Horse, Reagan wasn't diagnosised until after he left office. If it was a secret, how would we know...it would not be a secret.
You can't act on a secret. That's the entire point of a secret.
That’s pretty irrelevant at this point🤔🙄
@@TheJimmyp427 Excellent point.
@@sdh4557
Indeed.
I'm Australian and watched the 2020 election it was unbelievable that people voted for him at all.
I'm Americsn living in Taiwan. I get the BEST news about Biden/Brandon from vids from Sky News Australia. They GRILL Biden/Harris!
The same people that voted for him, also complain that there are too many old white men in office. lol
I agree!
I'm Austrian and think back in 2020 USA-people votet "avoid a 2nd turm Trump at all costs".
@@tantelila7464 That seems to be what happened, but the number of people who believed that a difference of their one measly vote had a non-negligible chance of saving the election/the country/the world is absolutely staggering. People need to get time and space away from the constant buzz of society and give themselves a chance to slough off their conformism.
With all that being said the democrats are shocked at his performance in the debate.
Perfect, well articulated, and seasoned with subtle humor.
I LOVE his subtle humor!!
Joe or Dr. G??? 😂😂😂😂
Many thanks for tackling this one. Biden may not be consistently off, but when someone with his level of responsibility exhibits several bouts of "episodic impaired cognitive performance", one can't avoid feeling more than a little unsettled.... It leaves you wondering as to who is really calling the shots. I sincerely hope the US will find better options for leadership *on both sides of the polítical spectrum* soon.... There have to be better and more sensible options!
Better than the Lying, Treasonous Trump
Hear, hear!!
Meanwhile, Kamala just garbled on about our close alliance with North Korea…early dementia perhaps?
This is what you get when old rich powerful people have had that wealth and power for a long time and don't want to give it up, probably because they fear the young up-and-coming crop and what they will do. Sadly alot of them are about to have no choice. Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and will be no longer be speaker of the house two months from now. The "president" will be 80 next month, is clearly suffering from the early symptoms of dementia, and his vp is a clueless diversity hire that nobody likes. The next couple years are going to be interesting. 🤔
Putin never would have invaded Ukraine if Trump was President … the world is far less safer now
When the title of a Dr. Grande video is a rhetorical question that answers itself🤫
Agree with your keen analysis
Biden should pass the baton...NOW...
- maybe I missed it but you didn’t mention his TWO aneurysms - and if you look at videos of him from barely five years ago he acts much more lucid, speaks in a much more rapid and robust tone, and was a much more responsive and alert horse’s ass.
I know right! His eye freaking exploded on stage! 😮😮😮
I have no idea how Jill Biden can let this man continue on as President in such a condition.
@@sonnygunz5178 Jill is probably responsible for his running for pres
@@robinpigeon2070 really? I had no idea. Well then shame on her.
Just to know those enurusyms were detected and clipped makes it a "glass half full "as someone who works in the medical field.
I would like to know what the evidence is that he does NOT have dementia. Aging doesn't usually deteriorate that quickly, especially in a healthier individual, and many of his confusions are too severe to be contributed aging.
Read more….
I was wondering the same thing!
Yes, agree with you 100%. He has the vacant look of dementia
@StillHere Yea and there are people that said he was merely waving by with a straight face
As a RN who has done considerable work with the elderly, I fully agree. His constellation of symptoms are consistent with early stages of dementia. Keep in mind he has a large team of supporters and aids that are doing their best to keep his cognitive decline hidden but it still shows. It is likely even worse than it looks which is a very risky form of denial.
Scarier than JoJo are the people who don’t see anything wrong with him!😮
I see things wrong with him, just not enough to regret him holding the office when considering the alternative.
@@mistyhaney5565 Aw, still triggered by the orange man? Have some milk and cookies and a lie down.
Amen!😂😂
Biden's "limitations" might be ok, even endearing, in a great-grandpa at home. But , his limitations in a POTUS is frightening.
pray for ashley biden
Not as frightening as having this country turn into a autocracy created by Trump! AND, Trump has been committing crimes since he started going into real estate! He isn’t going to change
Rob - Can I tell you what is ACTUALLY frightening!
VERY frightening.
I guess this is all okay than mean tweets.
The man is decomposing before our eyes
He was always unfit !
What about his pathological lying? He tells the same lies over along with the new ones he dreams up. His education of 3 degrees, top of his class. On and on..
Don’t forget the ones that actually caused massive deaths like “the jab works” and the blocking of treatments that work.
Or all the people who lost their jobs for the jab, only to find out Joe’s pressure on the companies to mandate them was known by him to be illegal from the start.
I wasn't going to listen to this because I'm not a fan of the President but I'm glad I did! I enjoyed your overview of Joe (& with such a straight face)
I wasn't going to listen to it because I am a fan of the president. I would have preferred any one of several candidates who ran, but the reality is that Biden was who people would vote for rather than not voting at all. A candidate who actually wanted to do anything really, couldn't have won.
I wouldn’t hire him as a Walmart greeter let alone a president! It’s not about age it’s about mental awareness!
She was 12 and I was 30, imagine if Trump said this , Nancy would be running down the hallway, impeach, impeach!
This video deserves millions of views!
Messing up names & substituting one word for another is something I’ve done since my late teens. But anyone who has lived with an aging parent Biden is quite concerning especially the getting lost & confusing memories
Oh boy. This is going to create a SPICY comment thread. And no: what we see is the equivalent of elder abuse, and no one seems to give a crap.
@@rottingravensblood9106 I didn't vote for that idiot. Sometimes we have to be realistic and admit that the best person didn't win - and the media made sure of it. I support JB but he is not the same person as he used to be and we are all worse off because of it.
I almost choked on my cereal (from laughter) when you said what you said about retirement. You said it with such a serious straight face! Love it!
That's the best part of Dr. Grande's videos is the straight face :)
@@SirenaSpades The only time he smiles is when he is doing that advertisement for that food service. It looks like a fake smile...it's classic! lol
I absolutely love your unbiased analysis on these types of situations. The world needs more voices like yours.
Thanks for a balanced review. I didn't want Joe Biden to be nominated in 2020 because of a close relative. At 86, my relative walked 4 miles per day, but at 90, he had health and memory issues. He was diagnosed with cancer, but his general fitness problems snowballed quickly; he just didn't have the resilience he would have had at 66. It could be the stress and travel requirements have increased everyday aging problems in Biden, but under no circumstances should he run again in 2024.
