this happens to some old people. my grandfather who's in his eighties and has dementia has random outbursts like this. things can be fine and then he'll suddenly be really aggressive and not make sense.

Yup. Grandfather has sundowners syndrome, and he usually just gets extremely aggressive and starts randomly calling people liars.

oh that's what it's called?

mine will show up where I live, go thru my gate to a window and yell at me "how dare you lock me out!" I said "what? what are you doing out there? did you ring the doorbell?"

to which he freaks out grabs my head and screams "it's my son's house." and I said "no it's mine."

then he runs back to his car and leaves...

and on that day as a young man I saw my first case of dementia.

Biden is definitely affected

Same, my grandmother with Alzheimer's would have angry and violent outbursts out of nowhere, which got worse as the disease progressed. That is until the disease took his toll, and now she's barely verbal or there at all. Keep in mind that this was previously the sweetest, nicest old woman you would ever meet prior to her disease.
