Once again, now it can be told! Apparently Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, is now ready to tell the American people they elected a senile rutabaga as president.

In a new book, Joe Biden’s former White House chief of staff paints a devastating picture of the then US president’s mental and physical state before the debate with Donald Trump that sent his 2024 campaign into a tailspin, resulting in his relinquishing the Democratic nomination to Kamala Harris.

Ron Klain served Biden from 2021 to 2023, then returned to his side last June to run debate preparation as he had for numerous Democratic presidents before.

According to Klain, it turned out that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was”; left preparation and fell asleep by the pool; obsessed about foreign leaders, saying “these guys say I’m doing a great job as president so I must be a great president”; “didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation”; and “had nothing to say about a second term other than finish the job”.

According to the forthcoming book, Biden’s debate preparation sessions were disastrous.

“The first was scheduled to last 90 minutes but Klain called it off after 45. The president’s voice was shot and so was his grasp of the subject. All he really could talk about was his infrastructure plan and how he was rebuilding America and 16 million jobs. He had nothing to say about his agenda for a second term.”

Biden quit his second preparatory session after twenty-five minutes. One of the clearest signs that you are not physically and mentally prepared to stand on a debate stage and defend your record for 90 minutes is that you are physically and mentally incapable of doing it for an hour in a practice session.

You know, a bunch of us called him “Prime Minister Ron Klain” while he was chief of staff, because we suspected he was really the acting POTUS. It turns out we were right. Go figure.
