I quite like the idea that world leaders have a wealth of life experience behind them. It’s their acuity of mind that is needed. As for getting around unaided, FDR seemed to do a fine job.

Given the lack of grace demonstrated by the last incumbent when leaving office, a couple of human trips along the way are hardly anything. Just a minor bump to his dignity. I doubt the bloody mask makes life easier.

One can be adequately skilled by their mid 50s or so, surely. People decline at the very end of their lives where a more suitable person should be able to accomplish the job. Many countries have limited the age of politicians to prevent elderly leeching off of past accomplishments and connections.

Er, welcome to the real world...

One or two delicate little girls here say we shouldn't laugh at world 'leaders' falling down, but I can assure you darlings that tens of millions of people laughed at the recent 'presidential' stumbles.
For example, read 'The Sun's' comments section if ya don't believe.

As for notions like: "a couple of human trips along the way are hardly anything. Just a minor bump to his dignity."
That's plainly inaccurate.
People here (NE Asia) now ask me 'that US Prez guy's gonna die soon, innit'. They ain't jokin'.

Can't yous remember Neil Pillock fallin' over on the beach with some tart?
Next day, his large poll-lead had disappeared & he lost the election..

^^^ Obama is about 30 years younger than Biden.
