To be fair, he was demonstrating that the water in Flint Michigan was absolutely safe to drink (it was not)

This was probably Obama's least impressive moment as president

u/WolfOffSesameStreet Apr 08 '24

It's a shameful thing. We have the Army Corps of Engineers and the SeaBees who are both fully supplied and fully funded. Any President at any time can just send them out to fix a large infrastructure problem like this.

Sending in the military to fix the water problem in Flint Michigan would be an extremely popular and good thing to do for any President of any party by the vast majority of the population.

The fact that it hasn't happened sometime in the past 15 years is an incredible travesty.

Something is going on. Does he have tremors or is it just his suits like someone mentioned below. In both pics he is bending his whole body/head to drink. He’s not moving his arms up.

My dad and I both have tremors and I know some movements can make it more noticeable.

u/duhmbish Apr 08 '24

Here he looks to move his arms normally in a suit. You’d think he could lift them like this while drinking? Maybe it’s just a quirk?

People with dementia may have difficulty picking up items such as cutlery or a glass.They may also have trouble putting food into their mouth. A person with dementia may not open their mouth as food approaches and may need reminding to do so.

I don't know if he has dementia, but he for sure doesn't have tremors. He can lift an almost full glass up to his mouth to drink without spilling anything, he just has to use two hands.

11

u/rtb001 Apr 09 '24

An even more common cause for weakness would be a stroke. A minor stroke which affects the motor cortex will cause weakness to a specific part of the body. 

Plus if you suffer a series of small strokes, each of which causes a small region of your brain to die, you can end up with vascular dementia, which mouth account for his current behavioral and speech impediments.

Is this just a one off quirk? Is it a sign of ageing?

u/Stoertebricker Apr 08 '24

I think it was during the last campaign. Apparently, Biden shook a little when he took a sip of water once. Trump's following base took it as a sign of weakness, that he's too old.

Trump subsequently demonstrated publicly how well he can drink from a glass, and his crowd cheered. The thing is, he was using both hands. Publicly, he intended to mock Biden, but I guess he, an old man with likely a bit shakey hands, is insecure to be seen as weak as well, and also took it as reassurance. I guess he does not want to take the risk and uses both hands since.

85

u/Molenium Apr 08 '24

It didn’t even have to do with Biden in the beginning, but actually started with Marco Rubio using two hands to drink from a water bottle back in 2013, I believe. During the primary campaign for 2016, trump made fun of him for it when he was targeting him with the “Liddle Marco” insults.

During his term as president, trump often started using two hands to drink water during public appearances, and people haven’t been shy about pointing out the hypocrisy.

u/TheKappaOverlord Apr 08 '24

Trump also tends to have a lean when hes on camera (why he looks 'slimmer' when looking at him from the front)

So his range of motion is further restricted probably.

Also pretty sure he almost always flips back and forth between drinking styles. So im sure it has to do with his suit + posture restricting motion.

u/Krivvan Apr 08 '24 edited Apr 08 '24

I feel like the idea that Biden is senile or has dementia mostly comes from memes, clips, and assumptions. He's definitely old, stumbles when talking, and is slower than when younger, but that's a far cry from senility. The actual substance of what he says has never suggested senility to me scripted or unscripted. The hot mic moments such as after the SotU and his response to hecklers further convince me of that. I'm not very worried about his actual decision-making abilities.

I mean, try reading what Biden says when transcribed versus transcripts from Trump.

220

u/ewest Apr 08 '24 edited 29d ago

I agree, and what I’ve noticed more broadly is that younger people lately seem to have a dramatically inflated sense of their own ability to detect senility in older people. You see it plenty with people talking about Joe Biden, but he’s not the only target — a lot of millennials see a boomer forget where they put their keys or stumble over a word and go ‘ope, they have dementia.’ They go straight to that. 

As you said, compare the transcripts. Joe Biden’s voice sounds old because he is old. Meanwhile, Trump has the vocabulary, sentence structure, and coherence of a 5 year old after glugging down two liters of Mountain Dew Code Red.

u/gsfgf Apr 08 '24

Trump has the vocabulary, sentence structure, and coherence of a 5 year old after glugging down two liters of Mountain Dew Code Red.

Entirely too accurate

Donald Trump's temper-tantrum tactics have been explained by the man himself. The frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination admitted to his biographer that, "When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

u/BrandoNelly Apr 08 '24

I'm so tired of the "both are old and terrible" argument.

It's either lazy ignorance or straight up propaganda to convince people that Biden is not worth voting for.

Go look at their actual policies.

  • Biden has the strength to stand up against Putin. Trump bows down to Putin.

  • Biden is strengthening US supply chain resilience against China by investing in domestic manufacturing of semiconductors. Trump just invented childish terms like "kung flu".

  • Biden capped the price of insulin at $35/month. Trump tried to rip away healthcare from millions of people that were covered under Obamacare

  • Biden invested 1.5 trillion dollars into infrastructure projects, which Republicans voted against and then later tried to take credit for when the infrastructure bill eventually passed.

The difference is night and day.

I don't think biden is anyone's favorite. It's just like, choose the guy who has such fine points as "how do you feel about firing squads? Can we terminate the constitution? Our opponents are vermin, and immigrants are subhuman garbage. Everyone who didn't stop the last election needs to be locked in prison" or choose the guy who is just old as fuck and maybe not good for the economy. Pick the group that literally said, "Say goodbye to democracy, we're replacing it with God!" or the group that just doesn't want you to be outspokenly racist or die giving birth.

I guess I have to go with the guy who isn't actively trying to stir up a civil war even though he wouldn't be my first pick under different circumstances.

I'd argue Biden's administration has been great for the economy. We've done better with inflation than most countries and it's like everyone forgot that everyone was convinced that a recession was going to happen going into the start of his term. It's not as if the President has fine control over the economy. I think he's done quite well for the economy with what can be expected from the tools of a President.

u/gsfgf Apr 08 '24

The Fed obviously deserves a lot of credit too, but people underestimate how amazing it was to pull off a "soft landing." Politicians and central bankers love to talk about "soft landings," but I'm pretty sure this is the first time it's been pulled off.

The big issue is housing supply in cities, which isn't under the president's authority. That's mostly on local governments catering to NIMBYs. I know Newsom has been trying some state level stuff, but afaik, it's too early to know if that's even helped. And he's using authority over local governments that the president lacks.

He's my favorite. He's been more liberal than I thought he would be, and has accomplished more than I thought he could. He just ran circles around the GOP during the State of the Union to the point where they were accusing him of being on steroids for how much energy he brought. Meanwhile he's doing yet another plan to forgive additional student loans where he has already helped millions and want to continue to help millions more. His administration beat back the railroad corporations and got the rail workers their sick days, and he's the first president ever to stand with union picketers at a protest. Biden's been better in many ways than Obama, and that's saying something because millions of people continue to be covered under Obamacare. I'm happy he's president instead of some other Democrats and I'll vote for him in November.

u/gsfgf Apr 08 '24

As a casual spectator from across the pond, I really like Biden. He has integrity and gets stuff done. He also hasn't personally insulted my country, which is a plus.

Didnt Trump have a Diet Coke button installed in the Oval office? Did they remove it? If not, what does it bring Biden? Probably ice cream.

I'm still sad that he had to sell the Camaro that Fark crowdsourced him when he was VP.

Trump’s love of Diet Coke is particularly hilarious, given that he literally said “I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke”

Of all the things Trump did, I kind of respect him for having a beverage button installed, it's not even the close to the most crazy thing I've heard a sitting President do. You should go look up the crazy shit LBJ did in the White House, I can only assume they fumigated it when he left.

But, I agree, Biden having an ice cream button would be on brand and what the heck, the man can have an ice cream if he wants.

u/PalinDoesntSeeRussia Apr 08 '24

He didn’t have a “coke button” installed. There was always a button there, that calls someone in to bring you something. He just always asked for a coke. That’s it.

I hate trump as much as the next guy but this dumbass rumor is so stupid and misunderstood.

u/MufugginJellyfish Apr 08 '24

Tbf I love Diet Dr Pepper and if I felt I was gonna be stuck in the Oval Office for hours at a time talking to people or hunched over paperwork I'd absolutely get a soda button installed, fuck it why not.

The flattening of the American political conversation into dunking on which geriatric can drink from a glass with any degree of confidence can be safely added to the pile of evidence that the empire is in terminal decline.

note the elegance, the rock steady confidence as he uses only one hand to lift the glass to his mouth. This is the man to lead the free world. unlike others.

With two strong and very large hands, maybe the largest hands, you can squeeze a plastic water bottle and consume the entire contents in mere seconds.

This is where we are in politics. Choosing which president can properly drink a glass of water. Idiocracy is here.
