The denigration of Pres.Biden by the Washington press was, and still is, a disgrace. The debate where he looked bad, followed 4 long air trips with 6 hour time changes. Having traveled on long trips, 6 hours and longer I know how this affects your body and your speech. It can take at least a week or more to be fully functioning

Biden has had to struggle with severe stuttering. Through hard work he largely overcame that problem, but when you are President you have to be very careful not to say something that could affect the big issues are dealing with all the time. Searching for the right word is hard for anyone in a prominent role. A former stutterer will sound hesitant and even use a word the may be mispronounced.

Look at the success Biden had — renewing our alliances, passing legislation that has helped all of us. He selected highly able people for key positions and they all appeared to have great respect for him. Same for foreign leaders. These people are not fools or liars.

The continuing attack from Pres. Trump, and the beliefs of the Washington press that claim the people working in the Biden administration covered up his inadequacies needs evidence, just claims that “everyone knows,” is perpetuating highly questionable beliefs.

Biden did his job and did it well. He did not have a press conference every day because he was doing his job.
