... sounds like it was truly exhaustion (and maybe overpreparation). If so, I think he should address it head on. (I can easily live with that, if that's really the explanation, and I suspect a lot of others could live with it as well...)

Maybe a televised FDR-style fireside chat is in order? An open address to the American people?

I think he needs to get in his Corvette and race around D.C. singing Texas Hold'em through a Mr. Microphone. That'll shut people up.

He's the President, nothing is going to shut people up.

”…if that’s really the explanation…”

The credibility of Biden and his campaign coming into question while running against the Trump cult.

That rumbling you hear is the sound of irony collapsing in on itself like a supernova.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

I'd pay good money to see this.

But in all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad idea for him to use the power of his position to communicate the facts to the American public. It's not a question of shutting people up, it's a question of at least giving some explanation, so that there's not an information vacuum. Silence is never good, it invites rampant speculation and feeds the rumor mill.

With this demonstration of how easily and wildly perceptions and reactions can swing, what it’s going to look like two months from now strikes me as a completely black box.
