In a move that raises eyebrows, President Joe Biden has proclaimed June 15, 2024, as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The irony isn't lost on many, considering the President himself has frequently shown signs of cognitive decline, leading to speculation about his own welfare.
Biden's proclamation states, "Older Americans are cherished members of our families and communities, but for too many of our Nation’s elders, the ‘golden years’ are tarnished by abuse, neglect, or exploitation." He emphasizes the nation's commitment to protecting seniors from various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and financial harm.
However, it’s hard to ignore the frequent "elder moments" Biden has exhibited publicly. Numerous videos circulating on social media, particularly on platforms like X, show Biden in confused states, struggling to complete sentences, forgetting names, and losing his train of thought. Critics argue that these incidents point to a man who might be suffering from dementia, raising concerns about whether he is being properly cared for or simply propped up to maintain appearances.
On X, @KanekoaTheGreat posted a clip showing an NBC News Poll stating, "More than 3/4th of voters have major or moderate concerns about Biden's mental and physical fitness - that includes 54% of Democrats." Republicans aren't the only ones with questions.

In a recent fundraising event, it appears Biden was so confused on stage that Obama had to show him the way...again.

Joe Biden: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16”
I’m laughing but at the same time I think his wife & family should be charged with ELDER ABUSE!

The proclamation itself acknowledges, "Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; neglect and abandonment; and financial exploitation." Given the President's visible struggles, it begs the question: is Biden's own situation a case of elder abuse by those who should be protecting him?
This proclamation is an opportunity for the nation to reflect on the treatment of its elders, including those in positions of power. While the intent behind World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is commendable, the President's own condition serves as a stark reminder that elder abuse can occur in the most unexpected places, even in the highest office of the land.
