    I didn’t state the context strongly enough with “his entire life”, allow me to expand on that. Biden is a career politician. Washington is his life. He’s more or less had one job within different roles, involving politics and navigating Washington.

    As such, the inertia of all of that action, at his jobs held in Washington across the span of decades kept him on track as he waxes and wanes mentally. It’s why some people were probably quite honest when they said they didn’t see a problem in their conversations with him. That’s how waxing and waning works while in a familiar environment.

    Screen slide to Trump. What is his inertia as he waxes and wanes outside of his home.

    Geriatrics who are fraying around the edges also do worse when not at home.

    Biden, arguably, was at home in Washington having spent 52 years of his life there. Is Trump? This is what, year 5, total? And didn’t he spend half of the last 4 at Maralago?
