Aides and the press have created a Potemkin presidency, hiding if Joe Biden is up to it<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Biden Potemkin Presidency Collapse<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

President Biden is merely pretending to do his job. But will the charade collapse before he can finagle another election victory?<\/p>\n

In czarist Russia, a Russian governor named Potemkin built a fake village to deceive Catherine the Great about the condition of the peasants she ruled.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s Washington, the media are partnering with Team Biden to concoct a Potemkin village to deceive Americans about Biden\u2019s faltering fitness for office.<\/p>\n

Last month at the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado, Biden stumbled leaving the podium<\/a>. It took multiple Secret Service agents to eventually get Joe back on his feet.<\/p>\n

In a bizarre finish for a recent MSNBC puff-piece appearance, Biden practically jumped out of his chair and shuffled off stage like a hungry geezer responding to the dinner bell at the nursing home.<\/p>\n

Biden has gotten lost on stage so many times that Waze should create a special app for Joe to navigate his next steps.<\/p>\n

The Atlantic noted last year that Biden\u2019s \u201caides look visibly nervous at times\u201d when he is giving a public speech. What do they know that we don\u2019t?<\/p>\n

Biden has stumbled several times going up the steps to Air Force One. White House staff \u201cfixed\u201d that problem by having the president take the short stairway into the plane\u2019s belly<\/a> to \u201creduce the risk of a televised fall that goes viral,\u201d NBC News reported Monday. As long as Biden is not being loaded onto the plane via a hydraulic medical lift, the media will pretend there is nothing to see.<\/p>\n
