President Joe Biden sputtered his way through a nine-minute appearance Sunday night in St. Croix to pay tribute to the late President Jimmy Carter.
Biden’s coughing and sluggish delivery reinforced concerns about the 82-year-old president’s declining cognitive abilities.
The president’s health has been back in the news since The Wall Street Journal published a story on December 19 on how aides dealt with a ‘diminished’ president throughout his entire term.
The report revealed that aides would have to repeat obvious instructions to Biden – such as where to exit a stage.
President-elect Donald Trump would often mock Biden getting lost during his own rallies on the 2024 campaign trail.
The Journal also said that Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, who co-chaired Biden’s doomed 2024 campaign, had been tasked with finding the president a voice coach to improve his ‘fading warble’ as the newspaper put it.
The fading warble was fully apparent during Biden’s remarks to the traveling press about the death of Carter Sunday night.
As Biden’s term draws to a close, pundits and journalists have questioned whether media coverage of the president properly scrutinized what the White House was saying about his health.
