Questions continue for President Joe Biden after his poor debate with Donald Trump last month.
During an interview on MSNBC, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Biden if he had “been tested for any age-related illnesses” such as “pre-Parkinson’s” or “anything like that, that might explain having a night like that where you couldn’t finish sentences.”
The President laughed before answering.
“Look, I had before, I was feeling so badly before the debate when I came back, the guys, they tested me before. I thought maybe I had COVID, maybe there was something wrong, I had an infection or something. They tested me. They gave me those tests. I was clear,” the President told a national audience.
Biden added that his performance since the debate proves his mind is right.
“Let me put it this way. If there was something that was wrong that night, it’s not like it comes and that’s one night and goes away. That’s why I’ve been out, I’m testing myself and testing everywhere I go, going out and making the case. The night of that debate, I went out, I was out till 2 o’clock in the morning, that very night.”
Previously in the interview, Biden said he had a “neurological physical” earlier in the year, and that the records had been released.
Biden’s comments come after reports say a neurologist visited the White House multiple times in recent months, with at least one meeting with the President’s doctor.
The National Institutes of Health describes Parkinson’s as “a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.” The progressive disorder includes tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement and a propensity for falls.
The rationale for Biden’s performance has been murky at best, and characterized by seemingly obvious contradictions between words and actions.
Biden’s team told reporters even before the debate was over that the President had a cold, by way of explaining his disjointed delivery and scattershot performance. That cold didn’t stop him from going to a Waffle House after the CNN telecast was over to greet supporters.
The President has been defiant in standing up to critics who want him out of the presidential race, even conducting a pre-taped prime time interview on ABC News that aired Friday. That interview raised questions, though, including a debate afterward about whether he used the word “goodest.”

Will the media help hand the nation to Trump’s 2025 fascism by endlessly going with the GOP talking points?
Try:
Trump’s derangement.
Trump’s planned fascism.
Trump’s sordid history.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

I know the king stuff is new to us after 248 years without one, but kings are always referred to by their first names – not their surname! Please get with the program!

Reagan’s entire second term was managed by Nancy and her team.

I’ve been with Biden all the way, even knowing he was certainly, long in the tooth, as they say. But even if Harris is as unpopular as everyone is trying to convince us she is, she’s still not Trump. The conversation needs to be about Trump’s ineffective criminal conman “leadership” and Biden’s term’s many accomplishments. Am I better off that under Trump? Hell yeah! My savings and investments are going strong. And I’m not ashamed to be an American now, like I was when Trump was in office. Plus, my twenty something grands and friends are excited at the prospect of Kamala running..

The Trump crime syndicate includes Jared Kushner who has been making millions of dollars in consultant’s fees since leaving “public service” and settling in with the reported $2 -3 billion in capital invested in his front business by the Saudis and MGS.

PD-5 programme from natu ral herb s ce ntre has done wonders for me. I even learned a few simple exercises I do daily to keep my back from hurting. It didn’t take very long before I started to get relief.
