President Biden is once again inviting questions about his age as he skips the official NATO dinner —Secretary of State Antony Blinken will attend the event for exhausted Joe.
From The Daily Mail:
Biden, who has only been in Europe since Sunday night and went to the beach on Saturday, had Secretary of State Antony Blinken attend instead.
The president’s snub came after he told Turkish President Recep Erdogan he would win re-election – and would be working with him for the next five years.
Despite mounting concerns about his health and age, he was confident about his chances in 2024. Biden would be 86 by the end of his second term.
Biden was blasted on Twitter for the no-show.

I would criticize Joe Biden for skipping out on a NATO dinner because he’s too tired despite having taken a beach trip just this weekend but I’m afraid if I do he will get enraged and beat me up.
