NEW YORK CITY (TND) — Comedian Bill Maher expressed his concern Tuesday that President Joe Biden appears far older than his opponent, former President Donald Trump.
At 81, Biden's mental and physical ability to hold the most powerful office in the world has emerged as a top concern for voters. The president has made a habit of committing public gaffes. Most recently, Biden erroneously claimed he was vice president “during the pandemic” under former President Donald Trump’s administration.
Trump is almost the same age as [Biden],” Maher said during an appearance on The View. “But Trump doesn’t present that way. You look at somebody, right away you can kind of just sum them up.”Being old, Maher continued, does not make Biden an ineffective president. It is the president’s appearance that is concerning, he said.
“We are not young, but we don’t present as old,” he said. “Biden does. I saw him yesterday making that speech. I mean, I’m sorry, he’s cadaver-like.”
“But his brain is good,” host Joy Beshar chimed in. “He’s still great.”

Maher went on to compare Biden to the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg who, according to some of her critics, tarnished her legacy by failing to resign during a Democratic presidency.
He’s Dracula,” Maher said of Biden. “He has crossed oceans of time to be here and he’s not going to give it up now.”The conversation also turned toward Trump’s odds of winning in November. Maher predicted Biden may find re-election difficult due to his decision to decide with "woke" social justice initiatives.
“What’s going to get [Trump] elected is this woke stuff that a lot of people in this country just don’t go for,” he said.
