Many are concerned that Joe Biden’s advancing age is a problem. But apparently not his own wife Jill.
Because Jill Biden told Joe something that proves she has completely lost her mind.
President Biden has been advised by senior advisors and his wife Jill to prioritize his health and get more sleep as we approach 2024. However, he maintains that he “feels so much younger” than his actual age of 81, as revealed in a recent story.
Axios stated that staff have been known to roll their eyes at Biden’s assertion that he feels spry, indicating that the age dynamic has created tension inside the White House.
An ex-assistant to Biden told the source, “He is his own worst enemy when it comes to his schedule.” The outlet had previously reported in April that Biden’s calendar is dominated by activities that take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. because staffers have problems booking presidential events outside of that window.
Voters of both parties have voiced their worry in recent polls that Biden, who would turn 86 years old at the conclusion of his potential second term, is not mentally competent to serve as president.
Stephen L. Miller, a contributing editor for Spectator USA, said on X, “Rest more?” in response to the story. “He makes barely two public appearances a week, doesn’t take questions or hold press conferences. He has to wear special shoes and take the baby steps on Air Force One and is in Delaware 4 days a week, and they are telling him to rest more.”
Miller added, saying, “He can’t do the job.”

Serving in Washington for fifty years, Biden has attempted to show the American people that he understands their worries about him staying in the Oval Office, frequently making light of his advanced years.
The president made a joke about how it was “difficult turning 60” while attending a Thanksgiving ceremony at the White House on November 20. He then shared a photo of his birthday cake, which was heavily criticized due to the number of candles it appeared to have.
The president’s Instagram post read, “It turns out that on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!”.
“I can’t even say the number,” Biden told a reporter earlier this year when asked about his age. “It doesn’t — it doesn’t register with me.”
In an effort to help the unsteady president avoid another embarrassing tumble, his staff has hired a physical therapist to train him to climb the presidential plane stairs with more grace.
After giving a speech to the graduating cadets at the Air Force Academy’s commencement ceremony in June, Biden fell to the deck, causing gasps from the audience.
Some of Biden’s supporters feel he should be more forthright and honest on the the subject of his age.
An ex-White House source told Axios, “Yelling, ‘Nuh-uh,’ isn’t cutting it.’ Voters are clearly worried about his age, fairly or not.”
In 2020, Biden defeated Trump at the age of 77, breaking the record set by the former president as the oldest to be sworn into office. Trump had previously won the post at the age of 70.
During her husband Joe’s tenure as vice president, Jill Biden previously voiced her concerns to Steve Ricchetti, who was the vice president’s chief of staff at the time, about how her husband was “exhausted,” “not sleeping,” and how the constant work was “going to kill him.”
In his 2017 biography Promise Me, Dad, President Biden stated that he was “prompted to ease off for a while” after his loved ones pleaded with him to slow down.
