Biden’s gaffes and Trump’s flubs: are they a sign of cognitive decline? | The Excerpt



We’ve all seen the videos of President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump making verbal gaffes – or just simply displaying confusion. Their opponents love to keep those moments in the discourse, insisting that it means there’s something wrong. But is there? What are signs of cognitive decline and when is it appropriate to raise the alarm, particularly for candidates vying to be leaders of the free world? USA TODAY Health Reporter Karen Weintraub joins to discuss what she’s learned from neurologists and others who study the brain.

  3. February 1, 2024. I will revisit this post in 2026. It will be clear to all that President Biden was already in his early stages of dimentia for most of Presidency. This lady did not lie. You can't tell that the President is in cognitive decline by one gaffe. But putting, his speech, gait, his quickness to grow angrily frustrated, short schedules, having to be hand held off of stages all clearly show that he is in rapid mental decline. I set a reminder on my calendar. I'll respond to others comments then. God bless everyone. Have a great 2024!
