Biden has completely lost his grasp on reality. Now he’s revealing secrets he shouldn’t.
And Democrats are horrified after Biden goes off-script with shocking revelations.
A perplexed-looking President Biden once again confessed he’d be in “trouble” for accepting questions at a news briefing Tuesday, only hours after his press secretary vehemently defended his mental capacity.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief began speaking the familiar yet perplexing phrase before even lifting the microphone from the table at the opening of a task force focused at decreasing costs for American families.
“I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I’ll get in trouble,” Biden murmured, eliciting some laughter from the audience.
He exhaled raggedly into the microphone before lowering it and staring blankly ahead, mouth gaping, ignoring some of the reporters’ last-ditch attempts to cram in a final question as they left.
“Oh, My Lord. This man is not well,” former Democratic Party campaign strategist Peter Daou said on X.

Biden’s strange behavior occurred hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reprimanded a reporter for questioning why the president frequently uses notecards during public events.
Although the reporter did not specify if such reliance signals decreasing mental health, Jean-Pierre sprang to Biden’s defense.
“You’re upset because the president has note cards? You’re asking me a question about the president having note cards? The president who has had probably one of the most successful first three years of an administration than any modern-day president? He’s done more in the first three years than most presidents who had the two terms,” Jean-Pierre replied, dodging the question.
“I think what’s important here and what the American people care about is how this president is delivering for them. And that’s what he’s doing. And that’s what’s the most important thing here.”
The Tuesday afternoon statements were not the first time Biden revealed he was told by his aides to limit how frequently he spoke to the press, even stating he’d get in “trouble” if he did.
Biden first mentioned the policy at a press conference in 2021, only days after former press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged that she didn’t enjoy the president spending too much time with the White House press corps.
“You guys are bad. I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions,” the president said at the time. “I’m supposed to leave, but I can’t resist your questions.”
He reiterated the idea just one month later, telling a journalist that he’d “get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way.”
Many people have had problems with Biden’s mental strength while he was president, and those problems are getting more attention now that the election is almost over.
According to polls, respondents are more concerned about Biden’s age than about Donald Trump’s, who is 77 years old.
This month, an ABC News/Ipsos study found that 86% of adults in the US thought Biden was too old to run for another term, and 59% thought both Biden and Trump were too old.
