President Biden is an old man who has slipped a bit BUT he has surrounded himself with a team that exhibits competence.

I'd much rather slip and slide with Biden than ride the hand basket to hell with a 34 x convicted felon!

You sir, are most welcome. I can't begin to tell you how MUCH I'd like to kick some folks in their a-noose and heaven only knows how HARD!

I don't even agree he's slipping in any way that is relevant. It's characteristic for the elderly to move more stiffly and there are other characteristic physical things like slight vocal wavers etc. but you'd never say a young person with those characteristics, due for instance to MS, was less capable of high quality mental and emotional assessments because of them. It's ageism to consider every sign of aging as lessening one's capability when the same effects in younger people would be indulged as irrelevant. I do think his age in the form of experience has reduced his ability to see certain international problems in new ways, but being set in one's ways isn't just age - it's personality interacting with experience. Overall, I would say I'd much rather be led by Biden than by an immoral narcissistic man who is in worse physical shape despite being just a few years younger, and whose emotional maturity and intellectual level were much poorer to begin with.
