President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.

Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, wrote after the president’s physical in February that Mr. Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”

But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.

He'll drop out with a medical condition just like how he'll announce Israel has crossed his red line.

His physician will also conveniently fail to find anything wrong with him just like the state department failed to find evidence of war crimes in Gaza.

Why couldn't it be Trump? Why do the evil bastards always live beyond a 100?

Happy people live longer, and evil people thrive on this planet of dumbasses. What a delightful life they must live. Like a pig in the biggest pile of shit ever.

Ok!! This works. Take the test, announce the condition, and step down so we can stop stealing time from whoever the actual nominee is. Let’s gooo!

You will vote for bed ridden Joe biden in a oxygen mask, and you will clap. If the clapping is not enthusiastic enough you will be ostracized from society.
