Just two weeks before Donald Trump got shot, and three weeks before Uncle Joe Biden bowed out of the 2024 race entirely, the president of the United States revealed himself to be something approaching senile.

During a prime-time, nationally televised debate with Trump, Biden — among other things — bragged to his opponent that he and the Democrats had “finally beat[en] Medicare,” argued that the USA is home to “one thousand trillionaires” (no earthly trillionaires currently exist; the world’s richest man is worth $218 billion), and unconvincingly compared his golf game to Trump’s for an awkward period of minutes.
