This is why Joe doesn’t come out of the basement…
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers this week, President Joe Biden bumbled through a few softball questions in an attempt to quiet criticisms regarding his cognitive decline.
It wasn’t exactly a success.
Biden got the year wrong and trailed off while attempting to take a shot at his likely 2024 GOP opponent former President Donald Trump, but ended up flaming out before making his point.
“They told us we couldn’t get [things] done ’cause things were so divided and, but I think everything’s everything we’ve gotten done. [Trump’s] just friendly state he wants to do away with, he gets elected and I really think his views on where to take America are older than… anyway,” Biden said.

Only 34 percent said Biden had the mental fitness to serve a second term, while 48 percent believed Trump is mentally fit.”
