The Biden Cover-Up: How His Team Hid Declining Health

The Presidential Debate and Public Perception

• 🎤 The CNN presidential debate in June 2024 highlighted Joe Biden's perceived frailty and hesitation, contrasting with Donald Trump's demeanor.
• 💡 Biden's rambling answer about billionaires and taxes, culminating in the non-sequitur "We finally beat Medicare," led many observers to believe he was not up to the job.
• 📉 This moment was seen by many, including CNN moderators and Trump campaign staff, as the point where Biden effectively lost the election.

Health Concerns and Medical Assessments

• ⚠️ A February 2024 health assessment noted Biden's shuffling gait and stiff walk, with his doctor warning he was "one fall away from a wheelchair" due to spinal deterioration from arthritis.
• 🚫 The medical report notably omitted cognitive testing, and the White House spokesperson stated Biden "passes a cognitive test every day."
• 🚲 Incidents like falling over on stage and falling off his bike with feet still strapped to pedals were cited as evidence of his increasing accident-proneness.

The Robert Hur Report and White House Response

• 🔍 The independent Robert Hur report investigated Biden's retention of classified documents, describing him as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
• 🗣️ The White House, led by Kamala Harris, aggressively attacked the report, characterizing it as "politically motivated" and an attempt to "slime" Robert Hur.
• 🧠 This marked a shift in the White House's communication strategy from correcting facts to actively discrediting critics.

Inner Circle and Financial Motivations

• 🤝 A small group around Biden, internally dubbed the "Polit Bureau," is accused of propping him up and managing his public appearances.
• 💰 Key figures like Mike Donelan and Steve Rashetti are highlighted, with Donelan reportedly demanding $4 million for nine months of work, a stark contrast to the campaign manager's $300,000 salary.
• 💸 This suggests direct financial benefits for those close to Biden, rather than solely misplaced loyalty.

Family Motivations and Decision to Step Aside

• 💔 Joe Biden's decision to run again is linked to his fear of losing a third child, specifically his son Hunter Biden, who has struggled with addiction and mental health issues.
• ✍️ George Clooney's public article in The New York Times, stating "we're not going to win with this president," was a significant blow.
• 📊 Ultimately, private meetings with pollsters revealed Biden had only a 5% chance of winning, leading to his eventual decision to step aside.
