Biden Finally Goes There and Comments on Trump ‘Stumbling Down Ramps’, ‘Watch How I Run Up Ramps…’

We have never had two men in their 70s running for president before. The presidency is a hard enough job on a younger man, it just hasn’t been something that older Americans sought out. Thus it is that this race is different, with both candidates’ surrogates taking shots at each other’s ability to even physically do the job and Trump actively mocking Biden’s ability.

Up until now, Biden absorbed a lot of Trump punishment without allowing himself personally to get down in the mud. Joe watched the entire Trump family comment on his demeanor. They said that Biden suffers from dementia (this is perhaps the MAGAs main argument against Biden, one hears it over and over, “he’s senile”) and Joe didn’t really punch back, never commented on Trump’s issues Trump’s odd physical problems, Trump’s mental health, and Trump’s emotional immaturity. Biden just left it all alone and let others make the case.

Until yesterday.

Yesterday, after hearing that Trump said Biden has “lost a step,” Biden finally went there and shot back, directly contrasting himself to Trump.

Whoa. Biden knows exactly how to press Trump’s buttons because he went directly at the one incident that bothered Trump the most, the video of Trump hobbling down the ramp at West Point. Trump spent a week talking about that one incident, insisting the ramp was like an ice rink, that it was steep, everyone remembers. Trump clearly knew that the video was damning.

Biden then assured everyone he was in great health:

Some Americans loved it, while the MAGAs won’t believe the pictures right in front of their faces. Below we have a selection of back and forths from Biden supporters and some MAGA heads sprinkled in.

And here’s a MAGA head response, very typical of them:

As you can see, Americans talked right past each other:

And we’ll finish with a hopeless MAGA, demonstrating just how … hopeless some people are:

Yeah, right.

Peace, y’all
