I bet TFG can't even ride a tricycle with Walt Nauda standing on the back of it steadying him.

'When you get knocked down, you get back up': Biden tells supporters after shaky debate performance
In comments that came as close as any to addressing his stumbles against Trump in last nights debate, Biden acknowledged that he is indeed old, but believes he can still beat the former president in the November election.
I know Im not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know I dont walk as easy as I used to, I dont speak as smoothly as I used to, I dont debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth, the president said.
He went on:
I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.
Biden then made plain that he believed he can still do the job:
Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didnt believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. Because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.
