President Joe Biden’s top political supporters believe that the president is not really in charge of running the country and have noticed that he has experienced a serious decline in his mental fitness for office, according to a new report.
The report published this week from left-wing journalist Olivia Nuzzi — who admitted in her piece that she had much of this information since January — outlined the fallout from Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week against former President Donald Trump and the effort by Biden World to hide the truth from the American people.
Following the debate, Biden met with top donors at the private mansion of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) where his worlds dissolved “into an incoherent gurgle” despite efforts by his staff to present him as sharp by only exposing him during a short window when he is supposedly at his best.
The reporter said that in January, elite coastal Democrats had already “arrived at the same concern: Could he really do this for another four years? Could he even make it to Election Day?”
The report said:
Those who encountered the president in social settings sometimes left their interactions disturbed. Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names. At a White House event last year, a guest recalled, with horror, realizing that the president would not be able to stay for the reception because, it was clear, he would not be able to make it through the reception. The guest wasn’t sure they could vote for Biden, since the guest was now open to an idea that they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: The president may not really be the acting president after all.
Democrat officials, donors, and activists said that it was becoming harder to get ahold of the president, even for matters directly related to his responsibilities as president, and that he was instead “cocooned within mounting layers of bureaucracy, spoken for more than he was speaking or spoken to.”
“Who was actually in charge? Nobody knew. But surely someone was in charge? And surely there must be a plan, since surely this situation could not endure?” the report continued, adding that the nation’s most elite liberal Biden supporters believe that there is “a secret group of high-level government leaders who control Biden and who will soon set into motion their plan to replace Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee.”
The reporter said that she encountered Biden in a basement in April after running into first lady Jill Biden, for whom she says that she had a personal affection. She said that Jill Biden showed a “panicked expression” when she realized that the reporter was going to get an up-close view of the president.
The reporter then described meeting Biden, saying that his demeanor conveyed “something not of this earth.”
“My heart stopped as I extended my hand to greet the president. I tried to make eye contact, but it was like his eyes, though open, were not on. His face had a waxy quality. He smiled,” the report said. “He took my hand in his, and I was startled by how it felt. Not cold but cool. The basement was so warm that people were sweating and complaining that they were sweating. This was a silly black-tie affair. I said ‘hello.’ His sweet smile stayed frozen. He spoke very slowly and in a very soft voice. ‘And what’s your name?’ he asked.”
She said that reporters play a game where they make guesses about “how dead” Biden appears to be, something that they never report on, and they do so in terms of a percentage. Following the event, one of them guessed “Forty percent.”
