The US President said that the problem is not age, but ideas
US President Joe Biden noted that some consider his age too old for the top state office.
“I know I may not look like it, but I’ve been around a while. And when you get to my age certain things become clearer than ever before,” he said in his State of the Union address to the US Congress. “In my career I’ve been told I’m too young and I’m too old.”
“The issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are, it’s how old our ideas are,” Biden said. ” Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are among the oldest of ideas. But you can’t lead America with ancient ideas that only take us back.”
Biden, 81, often makes various gaffes in his speeches. The Republicans use it in the partisan struggle in order to challenge the president’s mental and physical capability to lead the US.
Speaking at a campaign event in Las Vegas, Biden claimed that he met with French President Fracois Mitterand (died in 1996) soon after coming to the Oval Office. Biden’s inauguration took place in January, 2021. On February 7, Biden claimed that, in 2021, he talked to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017.
