When students at the University of Florida were shown video of a string of Joe Biden brain freezes and cognitive breakdowns from the past months, they admitted that he probably shouldn’t be running for President and certainly should not be in charge of the country.

Campus Reform found that before being shown the video, the students were almost universally confident in Biden’s eligibility to be President, but that soon changed after they saw the footage.

“That was kind of brutal,” one student commented.

“I’m not surprised, cause he is gonna be 80+ soon…” another noted.

“I thought the video was funny, I felt like Biden didn’t know what he was saying at all,” another student declared.

“Based on that video, I would say no, he shouldn’t be leading the country,” a further student proclaimed.

Watch:

Earlier this month, Biden’s former White House stenographer said the presidential candidate’s cognitive functioning and speaking ability has deteriorated significantly in the last few years.

Speaking to the Washington Free Beacon, Mike McCormick, who worked as a White House stenographer for 15 years and with Biden from 2011 to 2017, said the presidential candidate is “not the same Joe Biden.”

“He’s lost a step and he doesn’t seem to have the same mental acuity as he did four years ago,” said McCormick.

“He doesn’t have the energy, he doesn’t have the pace of his speaking…he’s a different guy,” he added.

McCormick noted that Biden seems to get “lost” during interviews and has also lost his ability to smoothly go off script and connect naturally with his audience.

“He’d just make a big joke out of it, and go straight from the hip. And notice, he’s not doing that anymore,” he said. “He read that [Democratic National Committee speech] verbatim … it’s not Joe Biden anymore.”

Biden has slipped up innumerable times during interviews and speeches, leading to charges that the former VP is being kept in a “basement” by his campaign managers so as not to further humiliate himself.

Despite CNN’s Brian Stelter suggesting it was “otherworldly” to question Biden’s mental health, a Rasmussen poll released in August found that 59 per cent of likely voters don’t believe he’ll finish a 4 year term in the White House.

Polls also show that 38 per cent of American voters think Biden has “some form of dementia,” including one in five Democrats.

Biden’s cognitive functioning has repeatedly been called into question, including by White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson.

“I think that he’s old enough now that he’s having cognitive difficulties and that just happens. It’s part of growing old,” said Jackson.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
