President Joe Biden landed in Paris, France, on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day and immediately did what we all unfortunately expect of him these days: He called a “lid.”

It’s certainly a long flight, but unlike the rest of us, Biden doesn’t have to deal with flight delays, go through the TSA line, or be stuck in the middle seat between a hypochondriac wearing an N95 mask and a person of unknown gender who should have bought two seats. He also has sleeping quarters with a real bed, so he doesn’t have to take a nap after landing like the rest of us do.
The most likely reason for the cap, as we all know, is that Biden (or his team) did not want to answer questions from the press on three major issues: Hunter’s trial, his executive action on the border, and the Wall Street Journal report published overnight with the headline: “Behind closed doors, Biden shows signs of regression.” This WSJ report details several extremely troubling episodes in which Biden’s connection to the here and now was, in the view of those present, tenuous at best:
When President Biden met with congressional leaders in the West Wing in January to negotiate a deal to finance Ukraine, he spoke so quietly at times that some participants struggled to understand him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, took long pauses and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered if he had tuned out.
In a February one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office with House Speaker Mike Johnson, the president said a recent change in his administration’s policy that put some major energy projects at risk was just a study, according to six people briefed on the events Johnson recounted at the time. Johnson feared the president had forgotten the details of his own policies.
The White House has already dismissed the report as biased, but as our Nick Arama wrote:
The WSJ found that the accounts came from 45 people, including Republicans and Democrats, with whom they spoke over several months, and that some of the Democrats also said his age was clearly evident in several of those conversations.
With any luck, Team Biden can spend Wednesday making sure they get just the right pharmaceutical cocktail at the right time so POTUS doesn’t embarrass the country at Thursday’s ceremonies.
