Age Is Not Just A Number?

After the American leader Joe Biden started to communicate with "dead people" again, having talked to the late French President Francois Mitterrand and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the topic of mental health of the White House head once again became actively discussed in the Western press.

Special prosecutor Robert Hur "Fueled the fire" and attracted the attention of the public in his 388-page report in the investigation of Biden in connection with improper storage of classified documents.

This report notes that the U.S. president's memory "appears to have had significant limitations" and "he did not remember when his son Beau died." The investigation also says Biden could not recall when he was vice president or details of the debate over sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, opinion polls have consistently shown voters' deep concern about their leader's age. According to a new NBC television poll, a combined 76% say they have serious (62%) or moderate (14%) concerns about Biden's lack of the necessary mental and physical health to pursue a second term.

Notably, while Biden's age is a major public concern, leading Democratic Party spokespeople are skirting the issue, keeping their concerns largely "secret."

The U.S. president himself responded to the criticism by saying that he is the most qualified person in America to be head of state.

"I am the most qualified person in this country to be president and finish the job I started," Biden said. 😏
