Biden Keeps on Truckin'

 

There’s a lot of current buzz about Joe Biden claiming at a trucker convention that he used to drive an 18-wheeler. Of course he hasn’t—that requires special training and a special license. Why would he tell such an obvious lie?

Senility. Imagining things in just this way is a classic symptom. My elderly uncle insisted in a matter-of-fact way he had seen sea serpents in the Saskatchewan River. More specifically, a senile narcissist. He sees a truck, and imagines it is about him.

Joe Who?

Some are discounting this little bit of Joe Biden’s victory speech on Super Tuesday, saying that anyone might have made the mistake of confusing on which side his wife or sister were, since they were standing behind him.

But no, that cannot account for it. He also says, “And I’m Joe’s husband.”

That is, he seems at the same time to confuse himself with his wife.

Not normal, surely. The truth is that Biden, at 77, is senile. This is surely going to become apparent, and may get worse, during the campaign.

And if he becomes president, who is in charge?
