There is a far greater senility problem, than anyone could ever accuse Biden of having. The problem is greater because he has no handlers around him to filter the stupid.

Trump also announced a few weeks ago that the US would collect 20% tarrifs/tolls on all shipments in the SoH. He had to walk back the stupid 2 days later. The only path towards the stupidity becoming reality is if Iran or Oman becomes a US territory, although planting a US flag on a small rock near the SoH, and setting a precedent of whoever controls that rock has territorial control over the SoH (pure stupid), would legitimize Iran's full claim, after they kill all US troops on the rock.

This would justify immediate impeachment, or to at least force another cognitive test at congress's request for review by congress.
