Biden still plenty sharp enough

By Kelly Fenton

The recent special counsel report regarding the discovery of a few classified documents in President Biden’s residence was laughably political and inappropriate. That the special counsel was originally a Trump appointee can’t come as a surprise, given the previous administration’s gleeful weaponization of the Justice Department.

But Robert Hur went further and — also inappropriately — opined as to the president’s cognition during their interview.

Let’s be clear: Biden willingly turned over the few documents immediately upon their discovery. Trump, by contrast, defied requests for more than a year, then knowingly moved the the hundreds — not the dozen or so Biden had, but hundreds — of top secret documents around Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to retain them following an FBI subpoena, behavior known legally as “consciousness of guilt.”

As for President Biden’s cognition, I’ll take a man skillfully managing complex international crises and overseeing an economic recovery that is the envy of the G7 nations over the man who refers to bombing airports in the Revolutionary war and leaves his most ardent rally attendees scratching their heads in confusion and bemusement.

There are many reasons presidential historians recently placed President Biden 14th all time and Donald Trump dead last in their rankings of commanders in chief, whether it be Trump’s recent declarations in support of Putin and in denouncement of NATO, his 91 felony counts, his history of sexual assault, or the hundreds of millions of dollars he is having to pony up for business fraud.
