What’s Wrong With Joe Biden?

I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this video just…creeps me out.

I can’t get over this video.

On Tuesday, the Democratic Party shared a clip of President Joe Biden campaigning against Donald Trump, who *checks notes* is still not President of the United States.

“You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American,” the pro-Catholic and pro-abortion Biden said.

But this tired old argument didn’t surprised me — after all, running against Donald Trump is the last strategy this tired old president has in his dusty toolbox.

No, what surprised me is the video itself.

Something is just…wrong.

I can’t quite put my finger on what, but it just…creeps me out.

Is it the fact that he doesn’t blink once? Or that he’s focusing on a space 25 yards behind the camera and/or teleprompter? Or that his voice sounds somehow auto-tuned? Or even just that his face just looks…off?

Honestly, my first assumption was that this was a deep-fake video — synthetic media which replaces one person’s likeness with another in an existing photograph or video.

My second assumption was that Biden is on such a powerful cocktail of drugs — administered to try and convince us that the president is not a dementia-addled 79-year-old man — and that the White House doctor and/or Hunter Biden just got the dose wrong.

But finally, my conclusion is that something is just wrong with Joe Biden.
