“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

@wdlindsy @briankrebs Oh, and side note: Either this isn’t the first time he’s done this, about exactly the same stuff, or I’m in some Mandala effect reality, because this was 100% a thing some months back, as well.
@reay @briankrebs Yes, he's done this electric-vehicle riff previously, but this iteration was off the charts in terms of craziness, while he spoke to people miles and miles from any sea or any sharks.
@reay @briankrebs Yes, I had known a clip or clips were out there and had been commented on at the time.
