Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized President Joe Biden and his affinity for ice cream on Tuesday after the president was seen in a New York ice cream parlor the day before.
Ahead of Monday’s airing of Late Night with Seth Meyers, on which Biden was a guest, the president patronized a shop with Meyers and told reporters he hopes there will be a ceasefire in Gaza “by next Monday” as Israel continues its invasion and bombing campaign in the territory after the Oct. 7 attacks.
The right has fixated on Biden’s famous hankering for ice cream, with some suggesting that it is aberrant for a man to buy an ice cream cone in public.
“If I were Biden and I was losing to Trump my party wanted to put me out to pasture and swap me out for a younger, better-looking liberal, the Mideast and Europe are at war, and migrants are murdering our women, the last thing I would do? Go out for ice cream with a comedian and lick it when they ask about the border,” Watters said on Tuesday’s Jesse Watters Primetime.
The host then drew a parallel between Biden and Alzheimer’s patients:
You know who lights up for ice cream? Children and the elderly. There’s a reason caregivers deliver ice cream to their patients in nursing homes.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, ice cream is a favorite for people with diminished faculties.
Quote, “Ice cream has the power to immediately elicit soothing feelings of the very first taste of a single spoon-full. It erases all the negative feelings related to the frustration and continues to stimulate pleasure receptors in the brain with every new scoop.”
Now, obviously, I’m not diagnosing Biden with Alzheimer’s, but you see what’s going on here?
Watters went on to add, “He’s a child. He copies homework. He lies, falls asleep, doesn’t listen.”
Biden gives every older person a bad name. Unfair.
Now Watters is spouting off against ice cream? A little arrogant and sassy in my opinion.
Hope the dairy industry replies.
There are millions in the U.S. alone suffering from Alzheimer’s, with ice cream being the leading indicator.
I’ve suffered from Alzheimer’s since I was a kid. ;)
Uh-oh.

Exploring the link between ice cream and dementia care
Could Eating Sweets Be a Sign of Dementia?
" ...For people with dementia, ice cream is far more effective and safe than Prozac, or any other ‘happy’ drug on the market!”

Ought oh I eat ice cream all the time even in winter. But I’ve been doing that a long time. Some of us just love ice cream.
Jesse didn’t spout off against ice cream. He noted that ice cream is a favorite food for seniors with Alzheimer’s. Gee, Biden’s favorite food is ice cream. Whaddaya know. See link #5 for more information.
My mom had vascular dementia, and in her last couple of years, she wanted ice cream ALL the time. It was her very favorite thing, and at some point, we just gave her whatever she wanted. One night while I was taking care of her, she asked for ice cream cones 6 times. She couldn’t remember she had just finished one. It was sad and sweet at the same time.
When I watched this, I went to the freezer to get my ice cream!
Fascinating article. Thanks for posting.
If that’s true, I’ve had dementia since I was 5. BTW, I weigh 103 lbs.

I’m sorry. Nothing could be further from the truth, and nothing could be more dangerous to say, healthwise. This is HORRIBLE advice.
Sugar causes inflammation of the circulatory system, and that includes the brain.
They are now calling Alzheimer’s Type 3 diabetes.
Watch innumerable videos on YouTube on the subject.
“...the ‘Swiss army knife’ of dementia care.’ Very interesting article. Thanks for posting this.
It's not Alzheimers. PedoJoe knows where the kids will be for him to sniff and grope.
