Joe Biden is a veteran of numerous medical problems. Some were potentially life-threatening. Some less serious.
As the commander-in-chief, Biden’s well-being has been a major concern. Much of that concern has focused on the obvious mental and physical challenges the nearly 80-year-old has displayed numerous times both at home and abroad.
These include persistent irascibility and falling down on Air Force One’s steps, shaking hands and becoming confused while leaving a stage. He also frequently loses his mind and forgets names. Staff notes from meetings accidentally remind him to sit down and say hello. All of which have sparked talk of the 25th Amendment.
And in 1988, Biden had two brain surgeries for life-threatening aneurysms.
Most recently, President Donald Trump had several positive COVID test results, which, according to aides, led to isolation in the White House with very few contacts. This was despite Biden’s numerous vaccinations and his ostentatious, but very sporadic use of masks.
Today the White House reported that Jill Biden tested positive while she was on a family vacation at a mansion donated by a donor. According to the statement, she is now being held in isolation in a South Carolina private home until she receives two negative results.
Even though Biden attempted to prove his physical abilities in the past weeks, riding a bike was not enough. Biden blamed the pedal on his bike.
During a bike riding display during a vacation, the president was photographed speaking with people. One photo shows what looks like a large and unusual growth at the neck of the president.
All of the medical doctors that we spoke to, who have never examined Biden before, stated that any patients with such growths would need closer inspection and questioning. What is the duration of this lump? Is it sensitive or does it hurt? Is it getting smaller or lighter?
They would likely order a biopsy in order to identify its exact nature.
The health of the president is always a matter of great concern, given concerns about national security and succession. Biden is the oldest president of all time. In November, he turns 80.
His vice-presidential and presidential partner is Kamala Harris. She will be 58 in the fall.
The selection of the California senator seems to not have been based on intelligence, strategic thinking or speaking abilities. Or on the appeal to her state of residence, which has voted Democrat for decades.
Her propensity to make mistakes, turnover of staff, and word-salads are impressive but not on the same level as Biden.
The next in line for the presidency is Nancy Pelosi (House Speaker). 82.
Joe Biden has never had a neck injury, and his executive work load is light regardless.
