Joe Biden’s former chief of staff has opened up about his mental decline.
Ron Klain, who served as Biden’s White House Chief of Staff from 2021 to 2023 and then returned to help him with debate preparation in 2024, is quoted in an upcoming book saying that the president had no idea what was really going on.
According to The Guardian, Klain claimed that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was.”
During debate preparation, Biden reportedly left and fell asleep by the pool.
At one point, Biden had a brainwave.
“If he looked perplexed when Trump talked, voters would understand that Trump was an idiot,” the book states.
”Klain replied: ‘Sir, when you look perplexed, people just think you’re perplexed. And this is our problem in this race.’”
I remember when Ted Kennedy, then a US Senator, mentioned that Chuck Schumer was probably the shrewdest member of the Senate, but Joe Biden was definitely the dumbest because, even then, he could not grasp basic concepts like how taxes worked or how the economy functioned.
Thank God and Greyhound he’s gone!!!!
