President Biden is asking voters to keep him in the White House until age 86, renewing attention to an issue that polls show troubles most Americans.
This is the 3rd time Biden has skipped a dinner with world leaders on an international trip.
From the NYT last month:
"Still, after fatiguing days on the road, he skipped dinner with world leaders in Indonesia last year and again in Japan in May."

It's not like he's skipping out on important matters. Why are the press so much more critical of President Biden than they were of Donald Trump?
If Trump skipped a NATO leader dinner, the press would say he had an EXHAUSTINGLY busy schedule. Why the double standard?

It’s called Sun Downers. Some people with dementia have a worse time later in the day. My mother had it and she would see things that weren’t there and become more disoriented. It doesn’t help that he is in an unfamiliar environment which makes it worse. This is truly sad.
Nothingburger. He was never planning on attending the dinner. The man is the most powerful man in the world and is busy being president. He doesn’t have time for a 4 hour long dinner.

He works sooper sooper harder than all those previous Presidents who had dinners!
@Grassr00tSquirrel10mos10MO
All other leaders and former Presidents had time.
@AmazedCivilRights10mos10MO
Maybe he just hates formal dinners and would rather sleep
@IndependenceLizard10mos10MO
This is not a ceremonial event. At the 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest the dinner went 2 hours over schedule because President Bush forced an extended discussion on bringing Ukraine into NATO. Biden isn’t even attending. If you want proof he’s too old for the job this is it.

He should have just asked Hunter to give him a bump or two to get him through the trip.
@LegislationSerenityDemocrat10mos10MO
The other leaders could spend dinner discussing ways to support Biden -- he's crushing it as leader of the free world
