President Biden has been under siege since his disastrous performance during his first (and now only) debate with Donald Trump several weeks ago. The news media swiftly piled on the president, appearing to delight in the opportunity to question his health, age, state of mind, and capacity to fulfill his myriad of responsibilities both as leader of the country and as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee after years of quiet speculation. The mainstream American news media, trained by the Republicans and larger right-wing for decades to be Pavlovian dogs, cowed by the fear of being smeared with the accusation of “liberal bias," has so far demonstrated no such enthusiasm for doggedly discussing Donald Trump’s state of mind and behavior.
Trump is a man who is an existential danger to the country, an aspiring dictator and coup plotter, a convicted felon and sexual assaulter as confirmed by a court of law, not much younger than President Biden, and who has repeatedly and publicly demonstrated a pattern of behavior in terms of his speech, memory, behavior, and cognition which suggest that he may be experiencing challenges with his mind, thinking, and emotions.
