Because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42 that we\u2019d be able to do that. But there has been no decision on extending Title 42.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It turned out he was talking about mask mandates on airplanes and other forms of transportation. That raises the issue of consistency: If the administration will continue to push masks on planes because COVID is still a threat, isn\u2019t Title 42 protecting against that same threat? <\/p>\n<p>But it would at least be nice if the president knew what he was talking about.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t simply misspeaking. He seems fully out of it, and we\u2019re all watching quietly.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Biden tried to comment on Florida\u2019s new Parental Rights in Education law and came out<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/politics\/biden-rips-gop-for-targeting-disney\/\"> with this word salad:<\/a> \u201cThere\u2019s nothing conservative about deciding you\u2019re going to throw Disney out of its present posture because Mickey Mouse?

Is the president OK? He doesn\u2019t seem like it.<\/p>\n<p>On Easter Monday, a reporter at the White House asked Biden about Afghanistan. As he started answering the question, a staffer in an Easter bunny costume appeared, waving her arms in front of Biden\u2019s face and ushering him along to a different part of the event.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny, sure, but it\u2019s also kind of scary. Who is really running the show at the White House? The president often makes comments about what he\u2019s \u201callowed\u201d to say, how many press questions he\u2019s permitted to take and which specific reporters he can call on. Who is making these decisions?

(It appears it was Meghan Hays, the White House director of message planning.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also hard to forget that during the Donald Trump years, the president\u2019s acumen was full-on debated and often.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Stelter, of CNN\u2019s most-misnamed show, \u201cReliable Sources,\u201d had actor Robert De Niro on to discuss Trump\u2019s mental capacity. The network also favored medical opinions from Trump\u2019s enemies like Anthony Scaramucci.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>When Trump joked about buying Greenland from Denmark, MSNBC furrowed its collective brows and featured Dr. Lance Dodes, former assistant psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, to talk about the president\u2019s mental decline. Dodes contributed to a book about the subject without, of course, ever having examined Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But now we\u2019re supposed to disregard what we see with our own eyes. Many of us have had our own confused grandpa, starting one story and finishing another or rambling from one topic to the next nonsensically. <\/p>\n<p>Grandpa sometimes wanders. The trouble is <em>this <\/em>confused grandpa has a bit more power than your own.<\/p>\n<p>In August, during another confused stretch for the president, CNN\u2019s Chris Cillizza wrote about various Republican officials questioning Biden\u2019s awareness: \u201cThis is the sort of gross, lowest-common-denominator politics that drive people away from public life. If Republicans have some sort of proof that Biden is declining, they should bring it forward. If they don\u2019t, they should stop doing what they\u2019re doing.

But perhaps he should check in with Robert De Niro first and see what he thinks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @Karol<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
