Let’s dive into the latest whirlwind surrounding President Joe Biden. Reports have emerged that Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, leading to his abrupt departure from Las Vegas, where he was set to hold a campaign event. The day before, Biden spoke at the NAACP annual convention, showing no signs of COVID, but raising eyebrows with behaviors that some critics have interpreted as signs of senility.
A video of Biden arriving on the tarmac and boarding Air Force One has caused a stir. In the clip, Biden exits the presidential limousine but appears to freeze for several seconds before a Secret Service member helps him stand. He then attempts to give a thumbs-up and seems to say, “I’m good.” As he walks toward Air Force One, he appears hunched over with his arms locked by his side, a concerning sign that some associate with motor skill loss indicative of conditions like Parkinson’s disease.

Biden’s ascent up the stairs of Air Force One was slow and labored, with multiple pauses and moments where he seemed to struggle to maintain his balance. At the top, he paused again, and his last few steps looked heavily labored. The entire sequence has sparked speculation about Biden’s health, with many questioning whether his condition is really related to COVID-19.

The timing of Biden’s COVID diagnosis is especially suspect, given recent political developments. News broke that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had urged Biden to step aside, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) delayed its nomination process. Biden’s sudden departure and week-long isolation in Delaware, rather than the White House, has fueled theories that this is a strategic move to buy time and deliberate Biden’s future.

Many are skeptical that COVID-19 is the real reason for Biden’s abrupt retreat from the campaign trail. Critics argue that the timing is too convenient and that the sudden change is more about managing the political fallout and making decisions about the 2024 race. Biden’s health and recent performance have been under intense scrutiny, and this latest episode only adds to the speculation.
