Joe Biden’s “big boy” press conference is in the books, and it did not go well.
As RedState reported, the president showed up with a pre-selected list of reporters to call on, a fact that he announced before taking questions. During the first question, the president then called Donald Trump his vice president, confusing his political opponent with Kamala Harris. From there, he’s been rambling and filibustering, attempting to burn enough time so his staff can claim he held his own.

The truth is, this was a disaster.

Yes, that’s the President of the United States having no idea who the President of the United States is. Who exactly is he referring to? Jill Biden? Hunter Biden? A cabal of handlers? Whose advice is he following?
Jill Biden may be the answer.

That was part of a rambling answer in which Biden was trying to explain why his need to go to bed earlier is not a sign of his ongoing mental and physical decline. He was attempting to throw his staff under the bus, claiming they added things to his schedule. Putting aside that he’s the president, he then claims his wife is angry because he’s doing so much.
Does that sound like someone who should be president? Someone who isn’t even in control of his own administration and can’t handle a tough schedule because his wife will get mad?
When pressed on his mental capabilities, Biden was defiant, proclaiming that there is “no indication” that he’s slowing down and can’t get the job done. He then fumbled with his pre-selected list of reporters, unable to read it for several seconds.
BIDEN: “If I slow down, I can’t get the job done, that’s a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no indication of that yet! None!”

What that answer shows is that Biden is deep in his delusion. There’s no getting through to him. He truly believes he’s fine, and he’s not going to leave the race. He’s going down with the ship.
With that said, it’s worth noting that Biden is a shameless liar as well. Senility isn’t his only problem.

Of note is that Biden has the worst foreign policy record in American history given the length of his career. He has been wrong about nearly every decision or position he’s ever taken. Regardless, to say that it is Donald Trump who has problems with foreign policy is insane. The world was far more peaceful under the former president than the current one. It is under Biden that Russia invaded Europe. It is under Biden that Gaza started a war with Israel. It is under Biden that China has been unapologetically on the march.
There were several other malfunctions throughout the presser.

Mercifully, the presser finally ended, but not until Karine Jean-Pierre had to interject and declare it over. That came immediately after Biden started whispering and smirking like a lunatic.

Notably, a reporter was still able to get a question in about Biden confusing Trump with Harris. The president had no answer, made a one-line quip that made no sense, and walked off the stage.
REPORTER: You referred to VP Harris as “VP Trump.” Right now, Trump is using that to mock you. How do you combat that criticism from tonight?
BIDEN: “Listen to him!”

Thus ended a terrible showing for Biden and possibly his presidency. Yes, he’s going to stay in the race, but his chances of winning are dwindling to nothing. Will the press be ridiculous enough to claim that presser was a win? I guess, we’ll see.
