It follows current unflattering protection about Mr Biden’s age and considerations about his psychological and bodily stamina as he seeks re-election in 2024.
The Wall Avenue Journal issued an excoriating editorial forward of the president’s birthday, highlighting his “age and apparent decline” and calling his resolution to run once more “an act of profound selfishness”.
It got here as Donald Trump on Monday appeared to attempt to showcase his “wonderful” well being by sharing a letter from his physician.
The Republican frontrunner, 77, posted an image on Fact Social of a notice from his private doctor Dr Bruce Aronwald which describes his cognitive exams as “distinctive”.
Within the letter, Dr Aronwald states Mr Trump has misplaced weight “by means of an improved food regimen and continued day by day bodily exercise” and claims “he’ll proceed to take pleasure in a wholesome energetic life-style for years to return”.
In the meantime, Mr Biden joked about his age as he pardoned the turkeys, saying: “That is the 76th anniversary of this occasion. I need you to know I wasn’t there for the primary one”.
The sunshine-hearted ceremony is historically marked with dangerous jokes and a light-weight roasting by the president, who sometimes pokes enjoyable at himself in flip.
As he went over to greet one of many turkeys, he joked: “That’s an enormous hen, man. I’m impressed.” He added: “I hereby pardon Liberty and Bell. Congratulations, birds.”
