Is Jill Biden aspiring to be ‘Gucci’ Grace Mugabe?

Throughout the course of human history, political affairs have been governed by the “strike while the iron is hot” adage, and weakness, incompetence, or a “perfect storm” of illness, distraction, confusion or diminishing mental (or military) capacity have always been “hot iron.”

In May of 2000 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, warned that any “premature” withdrawal from Kosovo would be interpreted (in the Balkans) as a sign of weakness: “We cannot afford that in a region where weakness attracts vultures.”

As some leading Democrats now admit, Joe Biden’s severely diminished cognitive function is on full display, no doubt a sign of American vulnerability, and I fear the vultures of the world are circling.

In years past, politicians removed from office by force have included Julius Caesar, a seriously twisted puppy named Caligula, dictators like Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, and a guy named Mussolini. Informed historians realize that some elected officials, showing signs of dementia, frailness, or mental decline, have actually been removed from office without using a knife, poison, or a D-Day invasion, but through peer pressure, concerned colleagues, friends, family members… and ultimately by the voters.

Most recently, Dianne Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, and several federal judges have been brave enough to admit that, due to age and diminishing cognitive abilities, it was time to hang up their gavel or titles. The major difference between these individuals and Biden though, is that the former did not have their fingers on nuclear launch codes, nor do they have the ability to de facto declare war.

According to the NCIB, the number of elderly heads of state varies greatly according to country, but rulers in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa have a substantial number of senior citizen politicians (very few of whom have nuclear weapons). The article further describes how some deteriorating heads of state have, as a last-ditch effort, proclaimed their wives to be “substitutes” to avoid facing a medical coup d’état:

In Tunisia president Habib Bourguiba’s dementia became evident, and he fell victim to a medical coup d’état, led by his own prime minister Ben Ali. Later Ben Ali’s failing mental powers were compensated by his wife Laila Trabelsi.
