President Joe Biden has been heard shouting “Don’t jump” multiple times during his presidency, prompting concerns about his mental acuity. Special counsel Robert Hur has described Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory. Biden often uses this phrase as a joke or taunt, typically directing it at people near ledges or balconies, although there is no evidence of anyone actually intending to jump.
Critics have pointed to these incidents as examples of Biden’s mental lapses, along with other behaviors like licking ice cream cones, petting kids, and getting lost on stage. Some believe that unless Biden is heavily medicated to stay alert, he may not be fit to serve as president for another term.
Polling data has shown that a significant portion of the electorate has doubts about Biden’s mental fitness. Some surveys indicate that as many as one-third of Democrats and 82 percent of Americans have concerns about his physical and mental health. Despite this, only about one-third of voters believe Biden is physically or mentally fit for a second term.
Former President Donald Trump’s supporters have criticized Biden’s mental acuity, with some suggesting that Trump is the only candidate with a fully functioning brain. The Republican National Committee Research Team has compiled a list of 20 instances where Biden has shouted “Don’t jump” during his presidency.
Overall, there are growing concerns about Biden’s mental fitness for office, and his repeated use of this phrase has only exacerbated these worries.
