Prediction: ‘The world will see on June 27 the criminally convicted Republican candidate eat Biden alive and there will be no Obama there to rescue him.’

By Piers Morgan for | The New York Post

They were only 10 words but wow, did they spark a reaction.

I watched the viral clip of Barack Obama taking a frozen Joe Biden by the arm and leading him off stage at their star-studded $30 million LA fundraiser, and posted on X what I suspect everyone who watched it was thinking: “So embarrassing. The Democrats can’t let this go on, surely?”

Within a few hours, a staggering 7.5 million people had viewed my post and many thousands of those had liked, reposted or commented on it.

As I thought, the vast majority shared my honestly held opinion that President Biden is no longer fit for the highest office in America.

I don’t mean that he’s too incompetent for the job, although many would say he is.

No, I mean that he’s too physically and mentally unfit to function at the extremely high level required to be leader of not just the United States, but also the free world.

When the last Democrat to occupy the White House has to literally grab the current one because he notices he’s had yet another “senior moment” and appears to be paralyzed like a statue on stage, it has to be the wake-up call everyone in the party must urgently heed before it’s too late, doesn’t it?

We’re only five months away from the 2024 general election, but what is now painfully obvious is that Joe Biden’s already cooked as a candidate.

There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that he can possibly get through another four-year term of presidency — and everyone knows it.

This is a once very eloquent, fast-talking, firebrand senator (Yes, really. See his blistering 1986 speech from a Senate committee hearing in which he rails magnificently against apartheid South Africa, to see what I mean) who can now barely speak without talking gibberish, nor walk quicker than a snail on Mogadon, and who keeps falling over or forgetting what he’s supposed to be doing or saying.

It’s long gone beyond the stage of being novel to watch.

Biden is supposed to be America’s commander-in-chief but, at what is a very dangerous time for the world, I wouldn’t trust him now to order a restaurant meal let alone a military strike.

So why is he still running?

Why has nobody told him to stand aside for the good of the party and country, as incumbent Democrat presidents Lyndon Johnson did in 1968 and Harry Truman did in 1953?

If they have, then why hasn’t he listened to them?

We’re told he still believes he’s the only person who can beat Donald Trump because he beat him last time.

But as I suspect the world will see when they have their first live TV debate on June 27, the controversial and now criminally convicted Republican candidate will eat Biden alive on stage and there will be no Obama there to rescue him.

Just as bafflingly, why do so many high-profile Democrats persist in trying to convince us that Biden’s still got all his marbles intact?

After I posted my comment about the jaw-droppingly embarrassing Biden/Obama arm-grab, two of America’s most famous billionaires responded to what I said.

The first was hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who has been a vocal Democrat supporter and major donor but has said he’s now likely to vote for Trump.

He posted to me: “I have been criticized by some for sharing these @POTUS Biden videos which appear almost every day.

“I have read numerous articles which somehow suggest that the camera angle, the duration of the clip or some form of right wing manipulation explains Biden’s behavior on camera.

“Some people are old at 81 and others are sharp, vigorous, and impressive. Compare Warren Buffett at 93 and Biden at 81. Biden is an old 81 who can’t find his way off a stage or stay present and focused at a G7 conference. Is that who should be the leader of the free world for the next five years?

“A president should not have to be led off stage by hand or with an arm wrapped around him. That is the not the image of strength and leadership we need as a country.

“Look at what is going on in the world. The perception of weak leadership in the United States has led to global chaos.

“The reality of weak leadership is a long-term serious and continued threat to our country. The Democratic Party is destroying itself by advancing Biden for a second term.

“This is the Emperor’s New Clothes in real life. But it is not a children’s book or a joke. The world is at great risk, and a Biden second term is a grave threat to global security and prosperity.”

I couldn’t agree more.

But another billionaire, entrepreneur Dallas Mavericks co-owner and “Shark Tank” reality TV star Mark Cuban, doesn’t.

He hit back: “You guys both, @piersmorgan, @BillAckman, are so consumed with pandering to your twitter followers, you have lost all objectivity. I’ll let you both in on a secret. BOTH CANDIDATES ARE OLD. VERY OLD.

They both are going to have senior moments, mis-remember, forget things and have physical frailties.

I’ll tell you a not so secret secret: One is great at soundbites, but also thinks in soundbites. The other is awful at soundbites, but thinks in complete sentences. Voters will decide which we prefer.”

The instant barrage of replies to Cuban’s message said it all.

Virtually nobody agreed with him.

Many openly mocked him, which is hardly surprising given that even two-thirds of Democrats think Biden’s too old to be running again.

And much as I admire Cuban, he and I both know he wouldn’t employ Sleepy Joe to run a bath for him, let alone a business.

Perhaps the most absurd reaction of all came from White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates, who was so enraged by a New York Post report that accurately recounted what happened with Biden and Obama on stage that he ranted on X:

“Fresh off being fact checked by at least 6 mainstream outlets for lying about @POTUS with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch’s sad little super pac, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting it’s readers & itself once again. Their ethical standards could deal with a little unfreezing.”

I have two invitations to Mr. Bates, by way of response.

First, as I have unsuccessfully requested many times, I would like to interview President Biden, just as I previously interviewed numerous US presidents — including his Democrat predecessors Clinton and Carter.

Second, the New York Post’s editorial board would love to give the President the opportunity to put all speculation to bed about his age-related issues, with an in-person meeting.1.1K

If both these invitations are declined — as they are to almost the entirety of the media — then as Mark Cuban said, voters can draw their own conclusions and act accordingly.

Just as I believe they will on Nov. 5 when, if Joe Biden is still the Democrat candidate, Donald Trump will be re-elected. ##
