New revelations: Joe Biden’s intellectual decay and the cover -up
The new book “Original Sin” tells that people from the environment of President Joe biden have veiled the extent of his decline. Since you no longer have to fear that the truth could help Donald Trump to be voted, finally speak openly to journalists.
Insiders speak openly after Trump’s election victory
If you had spoken out earlier, the situation might look different. A new book argues that the refusal of the 82-year-old Joe Biden to deal with his declining skills or accept a defeat was a decisive factor for Trump’s return to power.
Early warning signs and media ignorance
Biden’s decline has long been obvious. Already in 2019, his eye was bleeding during a citizens’ meeting broadcast on television. And he said To a voter from Iowa “Look, thicker” after challenging him to pushups. At the beginning of 2024, Biden confused the French President with a former French president who died in the 1990s. The president had to leave the election campaign last summer after one nightmarish debate performance Against Trump had shown that he was in a miserable constitution.
Nightmare debates and withdrawal from the election campaign
However, the extent of bidens decay was not a big issue in the media during the majority of its presidency. And according to Jake Tapper from CNN and Alex Tapper His decline was actively covered up by Axios.
Reflection book “Original Sin”: The systematic coverage
Her new book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, ITS Cover-Up, and his Disastrous Choice to Run Again” (“Inheritance Associations: The Decline of President Biden, his cover-up and his disaster decision to run again”) shows with more than 200 sources that Bidens tried to take his rapidly relieved cog. Skills to hide.
Over 200 sources confirm bidens intellectual decay
“What we found in writing this book is that everything we saw in front of the camera was much worse behind the scenes,” said Tapper Opposite David Remnick from New Yorker In an interview published on Saturday. The long -standing sources of journalists were much more talkative after the election. Because they no longer had to worry about hurt bidens or vice president Kamala Harris’ chances.
It was clear to Biden’s environment that he had problems. The number of people with access to President shrank from the end of 2023 to 2024, when his decay became “rapid” according to Thompson.
Biden’s inner circle wrapped him off
When he decided to run for a re -election, there were people in his environment who thought this was not a good idea. But nobody actually said Biden that another candidacy would be irresponsible. Thompson is partly responsible for bidding to have created an atmosphere that suppressed deviating opinions.
Tapper continued. “The special thing about bidges was that I have never seen anything like this. Maybe except for the current government. A government in which the president is surrounded by people who would never tell him something negative. And even prevent negative things from being brought to him.”
Cabinet sessions and bizarre incidents
Members of the bidet cabinet said Tapper and Thompson said that the cabinet meetings were “worrying and frustrating”. As early as 2021, the meetings followed a script. In 2022, he forgot the name of one of his most important consultants, the journalists report.
October 2023 marked the beginning of a phase, which a cabinet member described as a “strange time”, in which the cabinet members had no contact with bidding with the exception of Foreign Minister Antony Antony Antony and Defense Minister Lloyd Austin. A minister who managed to meet bidges in spring 2024 found him “murmuring, incoherent and difficult to understand,” said Tapper.
Government members frustrated and alarmed
“But nobody got in touch,” said Tapper. “If they complained internally, they were told: ‘He’s fine, be quiet.'”
George Clooney’s intervention
A person who spoke up was the actor George Clooney. Thompson and Tapper report that bidges did not recognize the film star at a donation event in June 2024, who co -established Clooney. Biden’s advisor even told him: ‘You know George’, but this did not raise a memory with the President. The consultant then said: “George Clooney.. “
“And then he says: ‘Sure, yes. Hey, how are you?'” Said Tapper. The incident prompted Clooney, one comment in the New York Times to write. In that he argued that the Democrats a new candidate for the presidency.
“Nobody could give a case in which Joe Biden had to make a decision as a president or give a speech in which he was unable to fulfill his task due to his intellectual expiry,” said a spokesman for the New YorkerWhen he published an extract from the book in which this incident is described.
Dangerous consequences of re -election
And what would have happened if bids had been re -elected? People from Biden’s environment believe that a constitutional crisis would have occurred. Members of the Democratic Party have recognized that bidges are unable to take office. And Biden’s inner circle would have refused to give the power.
Criticism of the political dilemma
“Being president means more than not being Donald Trump,” said Thompson. “And I think that speaks for the frustrating choice in front of which the Democrats and the country stood in the last elections. You had someone who even believed in his own government’s members of his own government was not able to exercise the office for which he was running for another four years. And someone who sincerely believed that he would cause considerable damage to the country.”
