A third user called out others for laughing as Biden continues to struggle with his age. “I imagine that, if we are lucky enough to age, we would do so as gracefully and with as much dignity as possible. We wouldn’t want others to share our decline as if it were newsworthy. This is the president of a country… respect is important, but so is compassion. Above all, he is human. So are we. I pray that he is okay,” they wrote.
