Joe Biden will unfortunately only be ‘remembered' for his cognitive decline
GXO Strategies Director Cameron Milner says Joe Biden was 'servant' to the United States who did 'great things'.
US President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the alleged cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive health during his administration.
'He will only now be remembered for the last year or two where he was seriously suffering from diminished cognitive abilities,' Mr Milner said.
'That fact that the staff looked like they covered that up for political gain ... that probably damaged the Democrats' chances of actually having a decent presidential candidate come through – that's the scandal.'

Trump threatens 'consequences' if Musk backs Democrats
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here US President Donald Trump is not backing off his battle with Elon Musk , saying overnight that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warning that his former ally and campaign benefactor could face "serious consequences" if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections. Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker in a phone interview that he has no plans to make up with Musk. Asked specifically if he thought his relationship with the mega-billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is over, Trump responded, "I would assume so, yeah." "I'm too busy doing other things," Trump continued. Happier times - Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and JD Vance. (AP) "You know, I won an election in a landslide. I gave him a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration, and saved his life in my first administration, I have no intention of speaking to him." The president also issued a warning amid chatter that Musk could back Democratic lawmakers and candidates in the 2026 midterm elections. "If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC , though he declined to share what those consequences would be. Musk's businesses have many lucrative federal contracts. Vance said Musk had made a mistake in attacking Trump. (AP) The president's latest comments suggest Musk is moving from close ally to a potential new target for Trump, who has aggressively wielded the powers of his office to crack down on critics and punish perceived enemies. As a major government contractor, Musk's businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution. Trump has already threatened to cut Musk's contracts, calling it an easy way to save money. The dramatic rupture between the president and the world's richest man began this week with Musk's public criticism of Trump's "big beautiful bill" pending on Capitol Hill. Musk has warned that the bill will increase the federal deficit and called it a "disgusting abomination." Musk claimed, without evidence, Donald Trump was in the "Epstein file". (AP) Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office, and before long, he and Musk began trading bitterly personal attacks on social media, sending the White House and GOP congressional leaders scrambling to assess the fallout. As the back-and-forth intensified, Musk suggested Trump should be impeached and claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president's association with infamous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Musk appeared by Saturday morning to have deleted his posts about Epstein. Vice President JD Vance in an interview tried to downplay the feud. He said Musk was making a "huge mistake" going after Trump, but called him an "emotional guy" getting frustrated. "I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear," Vance said. Vance called Musk an "incredible entrepreneur," and said that Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to cut government spending and laid off or pushed out thousands of workers, was "really good." Vance made the comments in an interview with "manosphere" comedian Theo Von, who last month joked about snorting drugs off a mixed-race baby and the sexuality of men in the US Navy when he opened for Trump at a military base in Qatar. The Vance interview was taped on Thursday as Musk's posts were unfurling on X, the social media network the billionaire owns. During the interview, Von showed the vice president Musk's claim that Trump's administration hasn't released all the records related to Epstein because Trump is mentioned in them. Vance responded to that, saying, "Absolutely not. Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein." "This stuff is just not helpful," Vance said in response to another post shared by Musk calling for Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vance. "It's totally insane. The president is doing a good job." Vance also defended the bill that has drawn Musk's ire, and said its central goal was not to cut spending but to extend the 2017 tax cuts approved in Trump's first term. The bill would slash spending and taxes but also leave some 10.9 million more people without health insurance and spike deficits by US$2.4 trillion ($3.7 trillion) over the decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. "It's a good bill," Vance said. "It's not a perfect bill." The interview was taped in Nashville at a restaurant owned by musician Kid Rock, a Trump ally.

Musk deletes some of the explosive posts about Trump as US president issues threat
Billionaire Elon Musk removed several of his explosive posts on Saturday that targeted the US president, appearing to seek a de-escalation of their public feud.

But on Saturday (Sunday AEST) the tweet was no longer available, with the link to the post now showing a message that said, 'Nothing to see here', ABC News reported. Musk also deleted the social media post that signalled support for impeaching the president. Meanwhile on Saturday, Trump told NBC there would be 'serious consequences' if Musk funds US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the president's sweeping tax cut and spending bill. Loading In a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump declined to say what those consequences would be, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk. Asked if his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said 'I would assume so, yeah.'
