On Thursday night, President Joe Biden delivered a passionate defense against the recent report by Special Counsel Robert Hur that raised questions about his mental acuity.

In the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Biden emphatically addressed the issue with the assertion, “I know what the h— I’m doing.”

On Thursday, the Justice Department decided not to file charges against the president for his handling of classified documents and cited Biden’s memory as one of the factors. According to Hur’s report, Biden’s mental fitness and ability to recall significant moments from his political career is occasionally “hazy.” The report stated one instance when the president was unable to remember the exact timeframe of his oldest son’s death.

Biden took particular offense to the mention of his son’s death, “How in the h— dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their d— business…I don’t need anyone to remind me when he passed away, or that he passed away.”

When questioned about the possible deterioration of his memory over time, Biden declared his memory to be perfectly fine. He challenged reporters, “Take a look at what I’ve done since I’ve become president. None of you thought I could pass any of the things I got passed. How’d that happen?” 

In an exchange with another journalist who expressed concerns about his age and cognitive acuity, Biden confidently stated that he is the most qualified person in the country to hold the presidency. He expressed his commitment to “finish the job” he started.

As Biden downplayed the concerns about his mental acuity, he accidentally referred to the President of Egypt as the President of Mexico. Speaking of the border between Egypt and Gaze, he said, “I think that, as you know, initially, the President of Mexico, el-Sisi, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in.”

First Lady Jill Biden recently said in an interview that her husband’s age was “an advantage.”

Former President Donald Trump. who has also made repeated gaffes, frequently brags that he “aced a cognitive test” on the campaign trail.
