“I remember that”: Biden jokes about his mental fitness

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

After his recent angry reaction to doubts about his mental fitness, US President Joe Biden (81) has now tried to approach the subject in a joking manner. During a speech in Washington on investments and infrastructure on Monday, the 81-year-old tried to make a joke about what for him was a politically serious matter. “I know I don’t look like it, but I’ve been around for a while,” the Democrat said, adding. “I still remember that.” The audience responded with laughter and applause.

Last Thursday, the publication of an investigative report into the affair surrounding Biden’s storage of classified documents caused a stir because the report depicted the Democrat as an evasive old man – including as a ‘well-meaning older man with a measly income’. memory”, whose ability to remember is significantly limited.

He was still angry on Thursday

Biden appeared visibly upset to the press on Thursday, shortly after the report was published, claiming his memory was completely “fine.” “I mean, I’m an older man and I know what I’m doing,” Biden said there.

Biden is the oldest American president ever and wants to run for a second term in the upcoming elections in November. His old age is generally the biggest problem for his re-election campaign, as he regularly makes slips of the tongue and minor missteps that lead to political objectives. (SDA)
