It is a heinous act to conceal presidential infirmity. The recent Wall Street Journal article unmasked what most already knew. President Biden is no longer capable of leading.

Grover Cleveland
On June 19, 1893, the president’s personal physician diagnosed a cancerous lesion in Cleveland’s mouth. This triggered an elaborate series of subterfuges to hide the president’s condition and the required surgery.
Delaying a special session of Congress until August 7, 1893, opened a window of time for the president to be treated. Cleveland boarded a private yacht in New York on July 1. His medical team rendezvoused under cover of darkness.
