First off, Trump can't go 100 hours without appearing in front of a camera, so it's a bad example to start with.  Trump going to rallies in the first 100 days after losing the election was more of a coping mechanism for his ego.  Frankly, having any rallies before the vaccine was publicly available was dangerous and very likely killed a few people.  We are well aware of your opinions on lockdowns, but before the vaccine was available, going out and sitting in a crowd of 100s of people for an hour was one of the things you absolutely were not supposed to do.  What Trump did was dangerous and unnecessary (especially considering the majority of it was all just to spread the conspiracy theories about the election).  I have absolutely no problem with Biden's lack of public appearances in the first six months.

Nobody is denying (now) the decline was there in Biden.  But your own source says "starting" and then got worse as it went on.  That's my point.  You are projecting this image that Biden was a drooling vegetable during his entire presidency, but the truth is he was still giving speeches and making decisions through those first couple of years.  There were signs, sure, and they got worse towards the end, but he was not "mushy peas" as you like to say, until the end (and even then he still had good days).

Trump is starting to show those signs.  Memory loss.  Confusion.  Lethargy.  Irritability

Maybe he's got a year or two on Biden schedule-wise, but you are falling into the same defenses / excuses that the Biden supporters were.  

@squeakyclean 2019. before biden was even elected accdg to tapper/cnn.  and we all saw it.  we commented on it.  he wasn't taking questions even before the election. it was all scripted.  it had nothing to do with covid. nothing.  it had to do with limited his exposure bc he was fast becoming mushy peas

During the 2020 presidential campaign, critics and media outlets frequently accused Joe Biden of avoiding unscripted interactions and not taking questions from reporters. His campaign strategy often involved delivering prepared remarks and then concluding events without fielding questions from the press corps. [1, 2, 3]

The tactic became a recurring point of contention throughout his campaign and subsequent presidency. Outlets routinely documented instances where reporters would shout questions at him, only to have his staff quickly usher the press out of the room before he could respond. The White House often defended the practice, stating the president frequently interacted with the media, though reporters argued those sessions were highly limited or stage-managed. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

and yet there were other times where he did answer questions.  Did unscripted interviews.

Just to get things on the record:  Is it your opinion that Biden was a non-functioning president during his entire time in office and his entire administration was being run by others?  I want you to definitively state it, yes or no.

@squeakyclean I would not say entire but i woudl say substantial.  i would say that he was basically an empty suit and a proxy.  i think at that point we were already seeing the dem party taken over by progressives and he was nothing more than a proxy for them.  i suspected it when he made his bs virtue signaling garbage about equal pay with the uswnt.  then when we got far left radical harris, and immigration that basically opened the border, welfare expansion that was intended to be cradle to grave under the guise of covid, i knew that he was an empty suit.  so in some ways that he was functioning or not is really of no moment bc his handlers were always calling the shots.  what i wrote above is decidedly not the joe biden in the senate.  the joe biden we knew forever.  he was on the decline throughout and it manifested before even taking office but again it's really of little moment inasmuch as he was just a proxy.  he was a bait and switch candidate.  should have just given it to bernie and shown character.
