In the United States, the state of health of President Joe Biden is once again at the heart of the news. A report from the Ministry of Justice published on Thursday February 8 suggests that he may be losing his memory. The president reacted very quickly, without really convincing.
On the evening of Thursday, February 8, American President Joe Biden was forced to defend his intellectual abilities in front of the press, urgently summoned to the White House. “My memory is fine”, assured Joe Biden. But at the last minute, on a question related to the war in the Middle East, he revived doubt. “At first, the president of Mexico, Sissi, did not want to open his border“, he replied. Joe Biden thus confused Mexico and Egypt. Simple slip of the tongue, or faulty memory?
Emmanuel Macron confused with François Mitterrand
A few days ago, another speech had already caused trouble. Joe Biden spoke about his first G7 summit as president, alongside Emmanuel Macron. He then confused the current French president with François Mitterrand. Is Joe Biden losing his memory? That’s what a Justice Department report released Thursday suggests. The president, questioned several times about his supposedly negligent management of confidential documents, was cleared, but attacked on his abilities. The Democrats immediately denounced a report deemed incriminating by a prosecutor known to be close to the Republican camp.
