-first to provide vaccines to India
-Stopped the longest war in US history by pulling all troops from Afghanistan
We were told he was too old and "gaff prone". Where are the gaffs? How is his age provinv a problem? It seems to me he is conducting the office with dignity, has the right priotities and is getting things done. I'm very impressed by him.
the policies you describe could well have been Republican policies right up to Ronald Reagan..a puppet for the hard right.
The great US president FDR was way to the left of this but basically created a booming Middle Class and set the USA onto decades of undreamed of wealth.
As for Biden..an old man who one must assume is only doing it for unselfish reasons..the best for the country.
Gaffes?..problem is Biden is attempting to tell the truth as he sees it and his policies are very middle road (and working). He makes a gaffe? so what?
In a way Donald Trump doesn't make gaffes because he's a pathological liar. He simply lies when asked a curly question even if literally is the opposite to what he said the day before.
I think one that always stands out for me..his visceral hatred for "ObamaCare" (because it works) and his endless claims in campaigns that he would introduce a "fabulous new healthcare system, the best, wonderful better than ObamaCare"
He said it at every campaign and they all cheered.
Not a word when he was elected. Nothing. nada, zip. forgotten.
But asked during the '20 campaign he brought it up again and promised details within a fortnight.

don't think any president or their wives have been done for drunk driving except George W Bush and also his wife Laura Bush who was done for drunk driving in an accident where the other driver died.
George W. to his credit has spoken of his early alcoholism.
Trump has never driven and doesn't have a license but if he did he be the best ever driver, a beautiful driver who would win every car rally.
Trump, if he runs in 2024 will be older than when Biden ran in 2020.
## Trump's' doctor claims he is 6'3" but my NY pal who is 6'2 says he has stood beside Trump at several charity events and says he would be about 5'11. Not that it matters but why make up these inanities ?
