President Joe Biden debated former President Donald Trump on Thursday… and Biden performed just as Trump had predicted.
The day before the debate, Trump had posted a split-screen video of Biden struggling to climb the stairs, next to footage of Trump climbing stairs much more quickly.
That video looks eerily similar to the next day’s debate footage, right down to the split screen.
Take a look —
🔥 President Trump just posted this side-by-side video of him and Biden walking up the stairs of Air Force One 🤣
Pretty obvious why Biden uses the small stairs now 😂🤣

During the debate, Biden gave quiet, incoherent answers. He fared worst during the earlier part of the debate but improved only slightly with time.
With his humiliating performance on Thursday, Biden solidified Americans’ concerns about his cognitive decline.
Liberal pundits began a fresh round of calls for the Democrat to consider stepping aside as the party’s nominee.
Democrats seemed to criticize Biden’s fumbles even more vocally than Republicans… and Republicans are letting the Democrats talk.
Biden repeatedly mumbled at Trump in an apparent effort to provoke him, bringing up everything from the former president’s weight to his recent felony conviction to his alleged insult of World War I veterans.
Trump visibly winced at the mention of his conviction, but he mostly resisted taking the bait.
The former president cracked a single remark about Biden’s incoherent speech.
“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either,” Trump said.
Aside from that, Trump mostly allowed Biden’s actions to speak for themselves.
All in all, Trump appeared satisfied that Biden had delivered a speech exactly in line with his stumbles in the video.
