TFG is most definitely mentally impaired and absolutely morally unfit for the office of president.
The difference is Trump has a cult that creates pictures of him sporting a body like 1980's Arnold Schwarzenegger. They would vote for Trump if he was nothing more than a brain in a jar with a ticket-tape LED screen scrolling MAGA!

Biden has to deal with a coalition that is not dedicated to voting for him no matter what. He has to deal with his perceptions in the voting public. He doesn't have the floor that Trump does and he doesn't have the propaganda machine Trump does.
So in our two-choice system, the choice between a visibly aged and declining Biden and Trump, enough people might vote against Biden or just not vote at all, to put Trump back in the White House.
We could remove every single bad actor in republican politics right now and it wouldn't change the dynamics because these are the people that the GOP base wants and votes for.
This is true but the majority of voters don't pay much attention to the particulars. This is why bumper sticker slogans are so effective and why actual policy doesn't have to match the rhetoric.
Agreed. I think every penny, every project, of Biden's term should have signs posted saying "Built By Bidenomics"!!! He needs his name out there connected to the positive. (I have come to loathe "close advisors" as self-interested but clueless about America.)
Ohhh... yeah. I'm a hard "no" on that. While I understand the sentiment, when this was actually done post 2008 with The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act it did not have the desired effect.
Large signs at construction sites with the names of prominent Democrats just reminded people sitting in construction traffic who they had to thank for that inconvenience.
Again, if we had a rational, competent voting public, signs letting them know that the improvement projects that they are seeing were brought to you by Biden. But I'm afraid it would have the opposite effect.

Sadly, you're right.
It isn't better politicians we need as much as better (rational, informed, democratic) voters/citizens.
I believe this is JVL's position. https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/the-people-are-the-problem-part-17502
We could remove every single bad actor in republican politics right now and it wouldn't change the dynamics because these are the people that the GOP base wants and votes for.
And yet, the base is in no way big enough to elect anyone to national office, without help from other voters.
