The special counsel report assessed President Biden's memory, highlighting significant limitations and instances where he couldn't remember key details. The report concluded that Biden's memory issues could be used as a defense against charges of willful intent. Biden, in response, defended himself stating that he's an elderly man who knows what he's doing. However, public incidents like mixing up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt contribute to the perception of an overwhelmed president not operating at full capacity. These memory lapses have drawn comparisons to his opponent, Donald Trump, who seems to capitalize on Biden's incoherence without being negatively impacted himself.
