Whenever she needs to fill in for her incompetent husband during carefully managed media appearances, first lady Jill Biden is neither insightful nor persuasive. With access granted to only the sycophantic media, she does not need to be.
Even so, she should prepare a better answer for inevitable questions about how President Joe Biden’s age affects his job performance.
During a CNN interview that aired Monday, when gently questioned about concerns regarding how old Joe Biden would be for a second term, Jill Biden replied, “How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train, go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President Zelenskyy?”

This assertion became a gold mine for Twitter users, who used the soundbite to mock the plainly stupid premise.
How many 30-year-olds have that kind of stamina? According to comedian @TheRyanNYC, “Every 30 year old?”
Every 30 year old?

“Dear America” Podcaster Graham Allen agreed. “All of them…..the answer is all of them.”

It was an unfortunate comparison for Jill Biden to make because, at 80 years old, Joe Biden is already the oldest American president. Mentioning 30-year-olds only reinforces how elderly he is. It was a dumb contrast that only makes Joe Biden appear even worse.
A more telling observation might have been, “How many 30-year-olds regularly fall upstairs?” Or “How many 30-year-olds make continual verbal gaffes?” However, Jill Biden would never mention those, as they do not support her agenda.
And he is bad. Despite the claims of great health based on suspect medical exams, Joe Biden often appears lost, incoherent or forgetful in public appearances.
When Jill Biden rejects any discussion of Joe Biden taking a mental competency test, it only reinforces the idea she believes the truth about the president’s capacities must remain hidden.
