By Joe Biden has recently appeared to have a few strange mental lapses. A few weeks ago, the president of the United States bizarrely stated that his uncle was “eaten by cannibals.”
Then, this week, he strangely appeared to read stage directions during a speech in Pennsylvania and seemed confused when the crowd of supporters started chanting “four more years.”

Now, appearing on Howard Stern’s radio show, the president made a fiew odd comments, first claiming that “women would send very salacious pictures” to him when he was a senator in the 1970s and that he’d “give them to the Secret Service,” even though senators do not receive Secret Service protection.

He also claimed that he “got arrested standing on the porch with a Black family.”

However, nothing reveals that the president’s age is becoming a problem more than the actions of the president’s advisors themselves. According to a report by Axios, the president of the United States can no longer walk by himself.
President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides.
With aides walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait.
Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age.
White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden’s walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he’d typically walked solo.

It’s hard to imagine that this is going to help with the notion that the president is a well-meaning old man with memory issues and Democrats have long expressed concerns about the president’s stability.
The New York Post noted that “the 81-year-old Biden, the oldest-ever chief executive, had typically taken the walk to the presidential helicopter alone or with members of his family over his first three years in office.
On Friday, in one of the clearest examples yet of the new routine, six staffers including press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre positioned themselves between Biden and the waiting cameras and microphones upon his return to the nation’s capital from New York.”
This isn’t the first time that Biden’s staff has expressed concern over his age and ability to walk. In March, it was revealed that the president is wearing special shoes to help prevent him from falling.
The Independent reported that Biden was “spotted wearing “maximum stability” sneakers believed to be designed to prevent the wearer from falling — with his latest fashion statement raising eyebrows on social media.
The president was recently seen stepping off Marine One in ‘lifestyle sneakers’ designed by the shoe brand Hoka, according to an Inside Edition report.
The ‘Hoka Transport’ shoe has a ‘wide sole’ that is ‘no doubt great for stability,’ the report said, adding that they are ‘designed for maximum comfort and support while walking or hiking.'”
Last summer, Biden fell after delivering a commencement address at the United States Air Force Academy.
Wearing a suit and baseball cap, Biden was walking happily across the stage when suddenly he fell to the floor of the stage, shocking those in attendance. Several secret service members immediately run over to help assist the president.
Recent polls have shown that Biden is the least popular president in over seventy years.
“Biden, 81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, the venerable Gallup Poll found in a survey released Friday, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency, according to The New York Post.
“With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent,” the pollsters said.
