That's an interesting one: That dig requires a measure of empathy, a capability often diminished by dementia. Biden had to understand the mindset of his opponent to pick something that would get under his skin in particular. Boy howdy, did it work! The target was totally unable to recognize the bait, and brush it off.

Nah. He did a great job baiting trump in 2019 but in 2024 he wasn't on his game he wasn't even in the same city as his game. Trump essentially did brush that remark off, he basically just "no u"ed at it.
