President Joe Biden faltered during a catastrophic debate against former President Donald Trump, and revealed over the 90-minute affair the extent of his mental degradation.
Before the debate was even over, many Democrats and media outlets were calling for the president to step aside.
His staffers, however, were busy supporting him with a storm of tweets from the president’s personal X account.
Perhaps the worst tweet came in the latter half of the debate, as President Biden was consistently unable to form coherent statements and staring blankly into the distance amid growing accusations that his participation in the debate constituted elder abuse.
“The idea that we don’t need to protect our seniors is ridiculous. But Donald Trump wants to gut their health care,” said Biden’s X account.
As his X account was calling for the protection of seniors, Biden himself was showing his age and severe impairment, with even Democrat loyalists wondering privately and publicly how those closest to him could have allowed him to demand debates and get on the stage.
Shortly before the debate, Biden’s account tweeted out a joke meant to mock the claims that he would need to be on performance enhancing drugs during the debate.
The post featured the president holding a can alluding to the “Dark Brandon” meme, which consists of a picture of Biden with red glowing eyes.
“I don’t know what they’ve got in these performance enhancers, but I’m feeling pretty jacked up. Try it yourselves, folks,” said Biden’s account.
During the debate, the account put out 23 posts, many of which emphasized unconfirmed or disproven claims and personally attacked President Trump.
In one post, Biden’s campaign said, “Donald Trump is a sucker and a loser,” alongside a clip of Biden repeating an unconfirmed claim that Trump once called the military “suckers and losers.”
“Donald Trump is a convicted felon with the morals of an alley cat,” Biden’s account said in another post.
In another post, the account backed up a false claim made by the president that Trump had referred to swastika-wearing neo-Nazis as fine people, a claim which has been debunked numerous times, including by the liberal fact-checking outlet Snopes.
“What American president would ever say that people wearing swastikas are “fine” people,” said Biden’s account.
Minutes after the debate ended and Biden was led off-stage by his wife, his account sent out a post which implied that he was confident of victory.
“We’ve made significant progress from the debacle that Trump left us. When I’m re-elected, we will continue to fight to bring down inflation and give the American people a break,” said Biden’s account.
Immediately following the spectacle, First Lady Jill Biden was mocked after video emerged of her telling Biden that he succeeded at the debate because he answered questions.
“Joe you did such a great job, you answered every question, you knew all the facts. And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do, lie,” said Jill Biden.
Following the debate, calls have grown among former Biden allies for him to step down, and allow another person to take over as the Democrat candidate.
