  • President Biden was at Camp David for nearly a week. How did that result in a poor debate job? It does not take a week to get over jet lag.
  • This is one of the worst excuses they could give. The President must be fit enough to engage in extensive travel and still perform at the highest level.
  • Hahahaha thought it was a cold 😂😂😂😂. Lie after lie / gaslighting after gaslighting/ deep fake claims after deep fake claims 😂😂😂. This party is absolutely nuts
  • @SteelGhost_
    Biden was back from overseas for a week, secluded in debate prep. This is insanity
  • 1 excuse after another, we're fed up, your incompetent and in Nov, your fired.
  • He took a WEEK OFF to prepare for the debate. They also blamed it on a “cold”. They can’t even keep their lies straight. 🙄
  • Okay whatever. It still shows he’s not fit for the job. If he can’t travel and turn around and have debate with cabinet members and foreign leaders than he’s useless.
  • @PSSavant
    But international travel is a part of the various Jobs of a president joe...
  • @slambig
    So he is admitting that he can't handle the burden of being President? just stop, drop out and get out!
  • @sailor583
    Sorry the job calls to be available and capable on a 24/7 basis.
  • @jaytaylor2312
    Sleepytime tea has offered Biden the job as spokesman
  • Democrat campaign strategy: Fire up the propaganda gaslight!

    My man said “there was something in my eye, I didn’t get enough sleep, it was like that when I got here, and im exhausted from beating Medicare.”
  • @Shroomin69
    He had a week to rest and prep at Camp David! A week!!!
  • @av2245
