Jaw-Dropping New Emails Expose Joe Biden’s Inability To Walk As President

A tranche of emails between top members of the Biden administration shows deep concern about the former president’s ability to walk, to the point that aides began to cancel previously planned public appearances as his condition worsened.

Former President Joe Biden was in the throes of physical decline long before he dropped out of the 2024 race, new documents show. The emails came to light as part of a Freedom of Information Act request about how aides were managing to keep the then-81-year-old upright as he performed the world’s most demanding job.

Just weeks after his infamous 2023 spill at an Air Force graduation ceremony, Biden was set to tour the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) during a visit to Philadelphia in July that year.

However, the visit was scrapped when White House aides learned about “how many steps were involved to get on the ship.”

The emails show that the United States Maritime Administration (MARAD) was engaged in a significant clean energy project at the shipyard that year and had invited President Biden to see its work as the project progressed.

Protect the Public’s Trust, a conservative watchdog group, obtained emails between MARAD and the Office of Secure Transportation, with the Office of Transportation copied on the July 17, 2023, exchange.

“No visit to the NSMV vessel is planned after the WH realized how many steps were involved to get on the ship. {True – lots of steps on grating},” the MARAD official wrote about Biden’s visit.

In the emails, a MARAD official complains about the lack of communication with the White House with regards to Biden’s potential visit.

“MARAD hasn’t had anyone reach out to them from WH. All info they have received has been from Philly shipyard. S2 team reached out to WH Advance, and that is how we confirmed the visit was scheduled. Nothing else heard and no further call made or received on this event that I am aware of,” the official wrote.

Biden aides’ decision to nix the visit came just weeks after the high-profile spill Biden took after giving remarks at an Air Force graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs, Colo., on June 1, 2023. There, he was seen on camera tripping over a sandbag on stage used to hold equipment in place.

The fall reinforced the public’s perception that Biden was weak, frail, and otherwise not up to the demands of the presidency. Those fears were amplified by the campaign of President Donald Trump, who tagged the former president with the moniker “Sleepy Joe.”

Around the time that White House officials were terminating Biden’s visit to the MARAD facility, they were rebutting claims by conservatives that Biden’s advanced age was limiting his ability to serve out his duties, Fox News reported.

“There’s an awful lot wrong here, beginning with the White House planning a presidential visit to one of the most important shipyards in the nation without bothering to give a heads-up to the Department of Transportation, which has major ongoing projects there,” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told Fox News Digital.

“That’s amateurish. Second and far more critical, the president’s staff was proscribing events he couldn’t physically handle more than a year before he dropped out of the reelection race, all while lambasting anyone who claimed he wasn’t fit enough to complete the Ironman Competition. I realize there’s an elevator down to the White House Situation Room, but most voters would like to think they’re pulling the lever for a president who could take the stairs in an emergency.”
