Did everyone forget Biden's 2020 performance?
When Biden is being forced and trained like this, he's awful. It wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd debate where all the debate-prep finally decided 'Let Biden go out there without prep and just be more honest with himself / honest personal style" that Biden did well.
I should have known that "Weeks of debate prep at Camp David" was a bad idea.
Luckily, presidents duties and performance in their job is not dependent upon these stupid "debates."
Anyways, Biden has always been an absolutely horrible public speaker. He mumbles, stumbles over words and rambles on. That's not his string suit, but it doesn't particularly matter for his job performance.
However, yes he is old. But at least he surrounds himself with incredibly talented staff, picks amazing leaders to run in his cabinet, and seems to generally listen and take advice.
Which is the polar opposite of what trump does., in so many ways.
