Biden freezes before Medicare, jobs gaffes minutes into CNN debate with Trump

President Biden froze and then had a verbal blunder, saying he “beat Medicare,” minutes after he kicked off his debate with former President Donald Trump on Thursday and touted the “15,000 new jobs” he created as commander in chief.

The 81-year-old president was discussing his record on the economy when he appeared to lose his train of thought.

“We be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the with the COVID, excuse me, dealing with everything we have to do with …. ” Biden said before freezing for several seconds.

“We finally beat Medicare,” he continued.

“He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death,” Trump, 78, responded.

Dude. Honesty, Trump is showing more kindness and respect for Biden here than Biden ever received from the merciless monsters using him as a dead puppet.

Jesus, that was horrible. CNN had to cut him off so he’d stop making a fool of himself.

Elder abuse. Put this man in a home where he can get the proper care that he needs. This is shameful. It’s not even funny anymore.

President Donald Trump suffered a tough night; for us, he listened and tried to understand Biden. Admit it none of us has the endurance to suffer Biden's lies, and incoherent mumbles for that length of time.
