It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?
Kevin, I am not a historian, so IDK, but has there ever been a President in American History who used a mobility aid? And, if so, would you say this president who was so weak as to need, say, braces or a wheelchair, is considered to be one of the top President’s ever?

He was in a wheelchair because he was paralyzed from the waist down, not because he was dementia riddled. This is apples and oranges.

"Lengthy probe on Biden's age"? What does that mean -- MTG is learning to count to 80? Good luck with that. (Besides, it seems like a lot of Republicans' probes don't get lengthy for anyone over the age of consent.)

Why did the Economist choose a disability-accommodating tool that Biden does not use, you think

Look, I voted for him and grudgingly will again if it comes to that, but I'd wager he uses one in private. You've seen him walk lately, correct?
Avatar
Yeah, he has spondylosis and peripheral neuropathy. Those aren't conditions that typically require a walker -- but is the idea that if he did require a walker for that reason that he'd be unfit for the presidency?

Absolutely not. Those are conditions you can definitely function mentally well with, but I've seen his decline over the last few years and there is no way those two things are the problem. Buddy is going downhill fast.

My neighbor who was the same age went from completely cognizant one year to mowing his lawn when it had 5 inches of snow on it the next.
