Minimally competent handlers would have scheduled some state visit to a vastly different time zone right before. Have him spend a week in a place where local 1 PM is 9 PM eastern time, then ship him back while his brain still works.
The last thing they wanted and want is for the public to hear “sundowning” and “Biden” in the same sentence. And even though Biden liked like dog shit in the debate - as far as I know no lib pundits have mentioned the s word. And I doubt many right-wing pundits have either. Their guy is world salad city on a good day.
