Recent revelations have emerged claiming that from the very beginning of President Biden’s time in office, White House aides have been concealing his mental decline. This report suggests that although Biden’s diminishing mental acuity was well-known among his aides, they preferred to keep the issue under wraps by dismissing it.

The aides took several measures to protect the President from public view and avoid harsh criticism. This included revising his schedule to obscure some of his more forgetful or disorganized performances.

In addition, they ensured the media had limited access to Biden, who holds the record as the oldest serving U.S. president. Consequently, he conducted a minimal number of large press conferences for this very reason.
Biden was often in the spotlight due to mishaps during public appearances and verbal blunders. This included instances where he mistakenly swapped names and countries during international visits.

The full extent of what was kept from the public remains undisclosed. However, the report shared by the Wall Street Journal suggests that his aides were indeed aware of these issues.
The presidential staff worked diligently to construct a protective barrier around the commander-in-chief after he assumed office, including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Staff curbed most of Biden’s face-to-face interactions starting January 2021, altering daily plans when he seemed fatigued and appeared unsteady during global engagements.
