The book describes the internal White House staffers' process as a 'cocooning' of the president

Top White House aides set up a "wall" to shield President Biden from unscripted events and long interviews amid fears of the president’s testiness and habit of mangling statements, according to a new book....

...a number of Biden aides told the reporters that Chief of Staff Ronald Klain and then-White House advisor Anita Dunn worked to prevent such incidents by keeping him away from "unscripted events or long interviews."

"They called the effect ‘the wall,’ a cocooning of the president," they wrote.

I hate promoting the book by posting articles about it, but it does seem to confirm that yes, somebody is, cutting the microphones, limiting face time and scripting events

Maggots also have cocoons.

The rest of the world has to take notice even if the US press continues to ignore the problem. Wouldn’t you want to be a fly on the wall in some foreign intelligence agency to find out what is going on?

They know Biden’s a mean, senile old coot unfit for office, so they keep him in a bubble to prevent him from straying off the garden path and into the weeds. They accused Reagan of it in his last few years; if so, Reagan was guilty of nothing but a little short-term memory loss, but was otherwise fully cognitive. Biden is a stiff-gaited, doddering, stale old cracker whose cheese slipped off when Dubya was in office. He’s lusted for the White House since the day he left Delaware.
