Joe Biden Im watching him on TV right now and it's clear he has a stutter. It comes off to other people as him being "slow" and that hurts me because I know no matter how successful I become people will see me as lesser because of my stutter. Trevor Noah who is supposedly a nice guy literally made a video mocking him due to his stutter. Were the only ones that really understands what's going on when he's speaking but regardless I look to him as a role model. His stutter is probably less severe than mine but I still think it's cool that he's in a public speaking position as he is now. That takes guts. And I don't mean this to be political, I'm actually a trump supporter. Anyways just saw him during the debate and thought this was worth noting.
