Biden Predicted He Would Be Dead and Gone By 2020 – Back in 1991, Senator Joe Biden predicted he would be “dead and gone” by 2020.
At the time, he was expounding on the importance of the Supreme Court and the impact of the appointment of former Justice David Souter’s appointment to the court.
Biden noted that the Supreme Court’s decisions “will affect what happens in this country long after Senator Biden is gone, long after President Bush is gone, long after President Reagan’s administrations are forgotten,” Biden said. “If Justice [David] Souter lives, God willing, as long as the average age of the court now, he’ll be making landmark decisions in the year 2020. I’ll be dead and gone in all probability.”
Now over 32 years later, Joe Biden is president of the United States and is seeking a second term. At age 80 he is the oldest man to ever sit in the Oval Office.
Are Biden’s Aneurysms Still Impacting His Health?
The then-senator probably wondered how long he had in the wake of his fight for life after he had two brain aneurysms three years earlier in 1988.
Biden likely thought he would not survive.
“Sadly, 40-45% of those struck by a ruptured brain aneurysm will not survive,” the Brain Aneurysm Foundation said on its website.
Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor at NYU Langone Health, wrote in The New York Post earlier this year that Joe Biden’s health is still impacted by his aneurysms.
“What is missing is any MRI report and full cognitive testing. Many of us have repeatedly requested this,” Siegel wrote. “O’Connor has mentioned Biden’s stiff-legged gait in two successive physicals and says it is getting worse — but hasn’t addressed directly a possible link between a worsening gait and a neurodegenerative process involving the frontal lobe of the brain or spinal cord or the possible buildup of fluid (normal pressure hydrocephalus), which could cause both a gait and a cognitive problem.
He continued: “But Biden did have two brain aneurysms repaired surgically in 1988, which increases the risk of long-term cognitive problems.”
Dr. David Sheiner, a doctor who attended to former President Barack Obama, told The Washington Examiner that he worried about Biden’s brain.
“When you do work on the brain, there’s always a little damage done,” Scheiner said, recalling his 1988 operations for brain aneurysms. “It worries me that he is aging. If I look at him, he’s not a young 80.”
Are Joe Biden’s Fits of Rage Connected?
Some have speculated that some of Biden’s current problems when it comes to his fits of confusion and blurting of bizarre comments stem from his aneurysms.
Survivors face long-lasting physical, emotional, and cognitive changes.
“Survivors can often feel a loss of control over their emotions, meaning they may be prone to acting out in anger or frustration at a moment’s notice. There doesn’t need to be any rational reason for these outbursts or warning signs of a coming burst of emotion,” the Brain Aneurysm Foundation said.
Axios recently reported that Biden is prone to fits of rage with his staff and that people fear being alone with him.
Former Biden aide Jeff Connaughton told Axios that Biden was an “egomaniacal autocrat … determined to manage his staff through fear.”
