The conspiracy joins a list of other claims by the presidential candidate, including the suggestion at an anti-COVID-19 vaccine demo that life was more difficult today than it was for those attempting to flee Nazi Germany

    What would you call all of his confusion episodes on stage then? I’m not talking about his stutters (disability) or meandering speeches (old man talk). I’ve seen over a dozen videos where the guy needs someone to guide him because he’s completely lost.

      Literally every president has flubs and gaffes. It’s an effect of having the world press following you 24/7. George W. Bush got lost on stage and nearly fell off, and another time he got stuck pulling on fake doors. The only reason it’s notable with Biden is because the GOP is promoting those videos and even sometimes altering them to make them more lurid.

      What you’re describing is just not sundowning. I should know as I work with elderly patients. Sundowning is people getting loopy and delirious when they start to lose stimuli (eg. When it’s dark outside). It doesn’t happen during events like with Biden and certainly not while he’s under intense stage lights. You’re simply wrong and it’s an amateur diagnosis.
