As President Biden’s term comes to an end, he seems to be holding a lot less back during his press releases. Biden, 82, has faced scrutiny for age and mental acuity, particularly since his first and only presidential debate with Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle left many wondering about his mental fitness for the job. Now, with the passing of former president Jimmy Carter, Biden is faced with the reality of being America’s oldest living president. During a presser on Sunday, Biden was asked about this reality, and he had strong words towards reporters. “My being the oldest president, I know more world leaders than any of you have ever met in your whole godd—n life,” he said.

Many of Biden’s critics were quick to raise issues with the soon to be former president’s language, with many taking issue with President Biden taking the Lord’s name in vain. “Good Catholic?” wrote one user on social media, with an image of the Third Commandment, as outlined in Exodus 20. Others saw the moment as further evidence of Biden’s mental decline, with Jake Schneider, a member of President-elect’s team, accusing Biden of “sundowning,” a term used for those suffering from dementia. “They should have challenged him and asked him to name them,” wrote another user.

Biden’s decline has continued to be a subject of debate, with even some of his supporters admitting how he appears to be slipping. Former MSNBC host Medhi Hasan admitted to being wrong about Biden’s mental stamina. He discussed a post he shared on X in June just before the debate, where he wrote, “I think Republicans will regret setting the bar so low for Biden, and helping spread the distorted image of him as a guy who is totally out of it, suffering from dementia, no grip on reality, no ability to speak. A very low bar for him to clear tonight.” Hasan now calls it, “my wrongest ever tweet.”

Progressive journalist, Matt Yglesias, also admitted he had been wrong about the President’s mental state. “I know that ever since [the debate], the whole world thinks the entire media was in on a massive coverup, but the fact is many of us (and seemingly many members of his team) genuinely thought the situation was better than it was,” he said. “In a lot of ways it’s more embarrassing to have been gullible and wrong when so many people with no sources and no inside info could see it clearly, but that’s what happened — I was just wrong about one of the big questions of the year.”
