Absolutely heartbreaking. Getting old and losing your touch is normal, it happens to everyone, but doing it like this in the most public way imaginable at the highest level of office…just awful.
No I feel bad for the American people who deserve a capable president. This is wrong what the democrats and media have allowed to happen the past 3.5 years. Period
@axgrf Biden is no longer capable, meanwhile Trump is only capable of wrongdoings 💀 Neither is a fair choice. And this just showcases the problem with the American political scene.
Look at how much Obama aged during his presidency, even just the first four years. The job's tough. It ages you hard. When you start out old, you end a withered husk like what we see here.
The thing even more evident to me than his eyes glazing over is the slack jawed mouth gape... Thats the biggest signal to me a geriatric person has deteriorated. Losing control over bodily functions, your brain cant remember to tell your mouth to shut. Thats not just physical decline its a sign there is something wrong mentally. I remember seeing that in the nursing home my Grandma was in, you could tell who had alzheimers/dementia/late stage parkinsons because they are just hollow eyed and slack jawed.
I saw one comment from a guy that was watching the 2024 debate and his mom appeared to watch it with him. When he turned to her a couple minutes later she was balling her eyes out,she said the way Baiden was acting reminded her so much of her dad and she thought it was beyond cruel to put a man like that in power
For real, as soon as I saw him at the debate I knew he was cooked (I say this as a lifetime democrat). I mean the way he’s looking at trump whenever he speaks alone was terrifying. You could see he was so DESPERATELY trying with every fiber of his being to just hang onto what was being said. The Democratic Party needs a new candidate for 2024 or it’s so over. The problem is that he’s not making it an easy transition by digging his heels in.
He was already in steep decline in 2020, how people didn't notice that and still voted for him is beyond me. Maybe because he had an excuse due to Covid to be bunkered up at home for most of the campaign.

Biden has had so much excessive cosmetic surgery. His face has been so stretched through repeated procedures. It doesn’t make him look younger. He now looks like a corpse.
2008 he is sharp. 2012 he look wise and charming. 2020 he is still fine. 2024...is really rough. He should really retire and let the younger generation steer USA...😢
@@framey3830I think this video makes a good case that he was actually cognitively ok, just got words out a little slower in 2020. But the cognitive issues now are undeniable.
Joe Biden was a capable candidate in 2008 and 2012. At his peak, he could deliver a good speech and debate performance. The hiccups were starting by 2020, but the contrast between 2020 Joe Biden and 2024 Joe Biden is day and night. Biden fell off fast.
To be fair, they did choose the 2024 clip of him when he was at his worst. There are plenty of moments where he’s speaking coherently even in the last week.
He’s kinda all over the place at the moment with his poor aging made worse by the frequent travels he does as part of the job as he also didn’t give himself sufficient time to rest before the debate unlike the North Carolina rally when he had more rest from the travels. However according to people close him he’s only fully functionally from 10Am to 7PM and afterwards is poor
@@RandomVidsforthought😂😂😂 he’s better off at speaking when he doesn’t have to answer to anything? When he can just read what’s written for him? Woooooow thank you Mr Holmes 😂😂😂 you truly are brilliant 😂😂😂
I just don't understand why he wants a second term. It's an incredibly stressful job and he's already struggling. Doesn't he just want to be with his grandkids?
damn, Joe in 8-12 shouldve been a president at one point, not 2020-2024 joe, Joe was sizzling the opps back in the day and he seemed to be passionate about politics
That's due to Biden making sure every single person is eligible for what he's been able to do with the, uh...COVID...uh...dealing with, uh...everything we had to do with...uh...sorry, was this a tax or healthcare question?
I think the difference between 2008-12 is the smallest. 2012-20 is massive as is 2020-2024. He was clearly too old in 2020 to run for President considering it can be an 8 year job
Like hell he was. “Corn Pop” would like to have a word with you. He hasn’t been in the right mental health or state to run for POTUS for the past 8yrs at the least.
(Not a Trump fan) but Trump has definitely not cognitively declined like Biden has. But, the presidency is so stressful I don’t think it’ll take long for Trump to decline too. The age that they’re both in is so risky. My grandma went from hiking up a fort and solving complex puzzles to being bedridden and imaging things in her head in a span of three years. And she was retired so no stress there really
Right, man was never able to understand the difference between million, billion and trillion. The amount of times he's mixed those up like it's a small difference is staggering.

@@Noah-pr2or no point in conversing with the stupid. Good luck, I hope one day the staff will give you something sharper than crayons to write your manifesto with
Well he's had a bit of a stutter in the past. It's FAR more pronounced now. These are just example clips but you can find other clips of Joe Biden stuttering in the past, though nowhere near as bad as 2024.
@@mma0911 Yeah, I wasn't trying to say that he isn't stuttering more, just that the fact that he stutters isn't made up even though his cognitive decline is obvious.
No the media didn't lie. He was born with a stutter. It's litterally a speech disability that comes from a small defector in the brain. He was bullied in his childhood for it. But over his life he has been able to suppress it and minimize to the point where he doesn't stutter. However as he ages, gets older and more tired, supressing the stutter becomes harder. It has always been a speech debugger for him, having to spend energy to supress it, but as he gets old, it becomes more impossible. You can hear he already starts to mumble words more in the 2012 clip. It's impossible to completely understand for someone without the disability.
To have a sharp political mind is a gift that is given to hardly anyone these days, and to lose your ability to express your thoughts is heartbreaking. To finally get the job of your dreams, only when you're far too old to make the best use out of it, then to be told by your friends and colleagues that you have to step aside and leave has to be one of the most difficult things that can happen to a man like that. I wish it came earlier, I wish it happened under better terms. It shouldn't be, "Go away, you old fart. We don't want you here." It should be, "Joe, you've had one of the most remarkable political careers in America. You've lived a life of service, you've done your duty to this country, and right now, the last step in insuring the future of your country is to step aside and let the future take over." It has to happen. It has to be this way, but it doesn't come out of malice. It comes out of absolute necessity, because the threat that faces this country is too large to make mistakes over. Joe Biden was a good president. He did his job, he did his duty, but the future is imperiled and we can't afford to take chances.
So true, he’s been chasing this his entire career, the pinnacle of American politics, becoming the President. And it’s just too late, he’s too old. Really a tragedy.
As a conservative, his legacy would be fine as an American Senator, VP and President if he were to step aside now. But if i was him i wouldnt step aside either. Theres been far worse presidents than Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden combined.
Small but important detail: up until this year the visual backdrop for the candidates was the Preamble to the Constitution. Now it’s the CNN logo. A small but telling sign of one of the many things that has gone wrong with this whole process.
Since 1988, presidential debates have been organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates. This year, Biden's and Trump's campaigns circumvented the Commission and agreed to debates organized by TV networks.
@@consumer6622Biden would not, for any reason, do a debate that ISN'T on Cnn. That was the biggest demand when agreeing to the debates. Trump felt confident and agreed, we saw what happened.
It's quite saddening how people just started making fun of him recently. Even in his old age he is trying his best to make sense that's rather sad and not something one should make fun of whether due to age or a health condition.
He has achieved much in his time in office such as finally beating Medicare and being the first black woman to be president of the United States, but it's time to step aside and let Vice-President Trump take over.
Yeah difference between 65 and 81 is startling. He still basically seemed like a middle-aged guy in 1st clip…maybe on back-end of it, but far from elderly. Fast forward, and he’s a shell of himself. You can sense his mind has left him. You see it in his eyes in 2024. It’s not always mid 60s to 80 where you see this..sometimes it’s 90. Regardless, he hit that wall. He’s not gonna be alive much longer
I always assumed back in 2020 that he would serve just the one term and pass it on to his VP. Can't understand why he won't stand down. George Washington was the President that set the example to all future Presidents.
Calm down guys, in 2024 he did so much, like appointing Vice President Trump, welcoming the president of ukraine, President Putin, and beating medicare!
For those saying this is a "he's too old" issue... It's not. My mother is 77, that is just 4 years younger than Biden. She never has to re-calculate and backtrack her wording, she's just as quickwitted as she was when she was 45-50, she can keep up the pace with my regular walks while chatting without taking a break nor needing to catch her breath (I'm 35)... This is not "just" an age issue. Biden aged BADLY. It happens to some people. He also survived 2 brain aneurysms when he was 45. They didn't evolve into fullblown strokes, but even then, that's not "free". There's a high likelyhood complications like those will eventually catch up to you in your old age. IDK if he'll live 4 more years or not, but he FOR SURE won't be cognitively adept to live without almost constant caretaking for 4 more years, which, for the PRESIDENCY... It's kind of the same thing. And besides... LOOK WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE: "You think this guy will fucking DIE in 4 years?"... Screw policy, we're not even sure he'll be drawing breath! He needs to step down and let someone else take the lead. This isn't about him as much as taking the car keys from grandpa isn't about grandpa. It's about the pedestrians (aka: the rest of the country, in this case).
Him stepping down would effectively make it a guaranteed win for Trump, it's just not possible for that to realistically happen. I also don't think you can compare him your mother, unless she had an incredibly high stress job that was essentially her life, I get what you're trying to say but it's just not a proper comparison. At such a high age people just deteriorate, it's how it is. While ideally he would step down and have someone take the place, it's not a realistic solution, and it isn't happening. With all that said, even a moldy piece of bread is better than Trump as president. People rag on Biden for talking badly, but that's about it, his office makes good decisions and overall his presidency is not bad, unlike Trump's. If you see the news, you will notice Trump is someone who should be in jail, but because of his status and the corruption in the government, he gets off scot free. He should not be running either, yet nobody is talking about that.
People don't seem to realise that there are 16 years between 2008 and 2024. As far as im concerned, Joe was still pretty lucid when he became president. He just didn't know when to step down
The 2020 to 2024 impresses more than the one from 2008 to 2004. 2008 to 2024 are decades apart, they are naturally going to be different. In 2020 he looks old, stumbles a little, but I still see him as competent and has strength on his voice, it makes me think, yeah, I can get old, but I will still be competent. 2024 shatters all those illusions.
Joe was freaking ROARING in 2008 and his voice sounded so different it was shocking! It's genuinely depressing seeing him in his current state. Bro needs to retire from politics for GOOD!
@@GabrielsLogic You said “He is a decent man” though, reminds me of the “You’re a decent man Arthur Morgan” thing. So yes, it does have something to do with it.
You can tell he even declined in 2020 when you compare to 2012. Everyone thinks he sounded so good compared to now,but there was a noticeable difference between his performance in 2012 and 2020. Imagine 2012 Biden debating trump
Off topic, but as a Brit two things struck me about the language used: in the UK, "Middle class" is always used as a slur - "Ugh! That's such a middle class thing to say...", "They only care about the middle classes..." and hardly anyone ever admits to being part of it - there is even a trend for very comfortably off middle class people to drop their t's or h's and pretend to be less well off; almost everyone comes "from a working class background" and is apparently the first person in their family to go to University. The phrase "prolier than thou" is attached to such people. In the States, I've noticed that it tends to be used in a positive sense, to basically most people, on average/middle incomes. In the UK class is much more bound up in background and supposed attitudes and tastes. The second thing, perhaps trivial, is that he says "not one penny," rather than "not one cent," and I hadn't realised "penny" - UK currency of course - is referenced in American parlance.
Yeah, in the US people who are poor will often consider themselves middle-class and people who very well-off will do the same because being the everyman--not to poor and not too rich--is usually preferable and people don't want to consider themselves an outlier. Also our single-cent coins are called pennies, so they're often referenced in expression. Our coins are pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters.
Yes, the United States is not class conscious. It's the same in Australia, this nebulous notion of the 'middle class' covers everyone from apartment renters to millionaires at this point. I think the UK is different because they never got rid of the aristocracy.
People get old, that's a normal thing. In fact he got older than most people do, especially in his country. He achieved a lot in his life, so why does he not retire with dignity, while he still can.
I noticed that too actually. First time I watched I was so focused on what Joe was saying that I didn't realize exactly how Trump responded there. It's like he _wanted_ him to both do and sound better.

This is incredibly sad. He was a sharp guy and it's cruel/humiliating to put him on this stage at this point.
nah. he was a puppet for so long he doesn't even realize how embarassing it is anymore.
Its all in the eyes. Just look how his eyes move now. Theyre confused, distant, unfocused. Says it all, no dialogue needed.
They’re vacant and dead. Unfortunately, that happens when you age. He shouldn’t be here anymore.
The thing even more evident to me than his eyes glazing over is the slack jawed mouth gape... Thats the biggest signal to me a geriatric person has deteriorated. Losing control over bodily functions, your brain cant remember to tell your mouth to shut. Thats not just physical decline its a sign there is something wrong mentally. I remember seeing that in the nursing home my Grandma was in, you could tell who had alzheimers/dementia/late stage parkinsons because they are just hollow eyed and slack jawed.
I saw one comment from a guy that was watching the 2024 debate and his mom appeared to watch it with him. When he turned to her a couple minutes later she was balling her eyes out,she said the way Baiden was acting reminded her so much of her dad and she thought it was beyond cruel to put a man like that in power
Bro he's a ghost now
For real, as soon as I saw him at the debate I knew he was cooked (I say this as a lifetime democrat). I mean the way he’s looking at trump whenever he speaks alone was terrifying.
You could see he was so DESPERATELY trying with every fiber of his being to just hang onto what was being said.
The Democratic Party needs a new candidate for 2024 or it’s so over. The problem is that he’s not making it an easy transition by digging his heels in.
The difference from 2020 and 2024 is staggering.
He was already in steep decline in 2020, how people didn't notice that and still voted for him is beyond me. Maybe because he had an excuse due to Covid to be bunkered up at home for most of the campaign.
It’s sad. And even some Democrats are seeing that he has aged hard from being in one of the most stressful jobs in the world

To be fair, they did choose the 2024 clip of him when he was at his worst. There are plenty of moments where he’s speaking coherently even in the last week.
After the debate, his performance at the rally in nc was noticeably better
He’s kinda all over the place at the moment with his poor aging made worse by the frequent travels he does as part of the job as he also didn’t give himself sufficient time to rest before the debate unlike the North Carolina rally when he had more rest from the travels.

Well he's had a bit of a stutter in the past. It's FAR more pronounced now. These are just example clips but you can find other clips of Joe Biden stuttering in the past, though nowhere near as bad as 2024.
@@mma0911 Yeah, I wasn't trying to say that he isn't stuttering more, just that the fact that he stutters isn't made up even though his cognitive decline is obvious.
He might be too old, but Trump is too stupid and too crazy.
No the media didn't lie. He was born with a stutter. It's litterally a speech disability that comes from a small defector in the brain. He was bullied in his childhood for it. But over his life he has been able to suppress it and minimize to the point where he doesn't stutter. However as he ages, gets older and more tired, supressing the stutter becomes harder. It has always been a speech debugger for him, having to spend energy to supress it, but as he gets old, it becomes more impossible. You can hear he already starts to mumble words more in the 2012 clip.
It's impossible to completely understand for someone without the disability.
2:17 "He is wrong about that" Biden's face responding to that is so real.
To have a sharp political mind is a gift that is given to hardly anyone these days, and to lose your ability to express your thoughts is heartbreaking. To finally get the job of your dreams, only when you're far too old to make the best use out of it, then to be told by your friends and colleagues that you have to step aside and leave has to be one of the most difficult things that can happen to a man like that. I wish it came earlier, I wish it happened under better terms. It shouldn't be, "Go away, you old fart. We don't want you here." It should be, "Joe, you've had one of the most remarkable political careers in America. You've lived a life of service, you've done your duty to this country, and right now, the last step in insuring the future of your country is to step aside and let the future take over." It has to happen. It has to be this way, but it doesn't come out of malice. It comes out of absolute necessity, because the threat that faces this country is too large to make mistakes over. Joe Biden was a good president. He did his job, he did his duty, but the future is imperiled and we can't afford to take chances.
So true, he’s been chasing this his entire career, the pinnacle of American politics, becoming the President. And it’s just too late, he’s too old. Really a tragedy.
If he ran in 2016 he'd probably have a much better legacy than he does now
He might still have lost. People really didn’t know how bad the undercurrent of america was at this point
I think he would’ve won, it was off of Obama and he had a better reputation than Clinton with the rust belt states and independents
As a conservative, his legacy would be fine as an American Senator, VP and President if he were to step aside now.

Yeah, I guess being a president is very draining
For those saying this is a "he's too old" issue... It's not. My mother is 77, that is just 4 years younger than Biden. She never has to re-calculate and backtrack her wording, she's just as quickwitted as she was when she was 45-50, she can keep up the pace with my regular walks while chatting without taking a break nor needing to catch her breath (I'm 35)... This is not "just" an age issue. Biden aged BADLY. It happens to some people. He also survived 2 brain aneurysms when he was 45. They didn't evolve into fullblown strokes, but even then, that's not "free". There's a high likelyhood complications like those will eventually catch up to you in your old age.
IDK if he'll live 4 more years or not, but he FOR SURE won't be cognitively adept to live without almost constant caretaking for 4 more years, which, for the PRESIDENCY... It's kind of the same thing. And besides... LOOK WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE: "You think this guy will fucking DIE in 4 years?"... Screw policy, we're not even sure he'll be drawing breath! He needs to step down and let someone else take the lead. This isn't about him as much as taking the car keys from grandpa isn't about grandpa. It's about the pedestrians (aka: the rest of the country, in this case).

Off topic, but as a Brit two things struck me about the language used: in the UK, "Middle class" is always used as a slur - "Ugh! That's such a middle class thing to say...", "They only care about the middle classes..." and hardly anyone ever admits to being part of it - there is even a trend for very comfortably off middle class people to drop their t's or h's and pretend to be less well off; almost everyone comes "from a working class background" and is apparently the first person in their family to go to University. The phrase "prolier than thou" is attached to such people. In the States, I've noticed that it tends to be used in a positive sense, to basically most people, on average/middle incomes. In the UK class is much more bound up in background and supposed attitudes and tastes. The second thing, perhaps trivial, is that he says "not one penny," rather than "not one cent," and I hadn't realised "penny" - UK currency of course - is referenced in American parlance.
Just in case… our one-cent coin is a “penny”, but then we say “two pennies”, not “pence”.
Never thought of middle-class as perjorative, interesting!
Yeah, in the US people who are poor will often consider themselves middle-class and people who very well-off will do the same because being the everyman--not to poor and not too rich--is usually preferable and people don't want to consider themselves an outlier.
Also our single-cent coins are called pennies, so they're often referenced in expression. Our coins are pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters.
Yes, the United States is not class conscious. It's the same in Australia, this nebulous notion of the 'middle class' covers everyone from apartment renters to millionaires at this point. I think the UK is different because they never got rid of the aristocracy.
Germany is also more like US in this, everyone wants to be part of Mittelstand or middle class

I noticed that too actually. First time I watched I was so focused on what Joe was saying that I didn't realize exactly how Trump responded there. It's like he _wanted_ him to both do and sound better.
You can see how this guy got into office. Now he's just there because he was a senator and "incumbency."
He is also easy to control...for example President Kennedy wasn't, so he had to go...
@@inquerion8867 if you think he's easy to control, you haven't been paying attention for the last two weeks

@@user-tp8pf5ke8oit’s not a conspiracy theory when he visits Putin every other month and admits to knowing about the invasion of Ukraine
@@ricksanchez6766 Absolute bloke, you serious? There was literally Russian troop buildup across the Ukrainian border in 2021, there were tons of news outlets discussing it, as well as tons of videos predicting the obvious invasion. But I guess you can't just look at the obvious proof that says, that yeah, there was troop build up all along the border, I wonder what will happen, instead of thinking that it was completely unknown that it would happen

I thought 2020 Biden wasn't that fit for president. Looking at this, 2020 biden is miles better compared to Biden now. I don't really give a crap about politics, but I hope he can live his last few years in peace.
