COMMUNITY United States Politics Thread: Trump's Second Term

BlackRain said:
Trump showing mental decline while being president is the same as Biden showing mental decline while also being president. The only thing missing is the consistent media coverage of it which is what my post was commenting on. This is a weird hill for you to choose when the evidence is clear as day. There's nothing being ignored. Nowhere did I say the commentary about Biden was false like you jumped out and assumed. So what you really doing or trying or debate? You trying your best at that "both sides" shit instead of just acknowledging the obvious.

Lol one already won the election the other one was a story BEFORE the election and it was a big enough issue that it forced him out the race. U really don't see the difference?

Not like negative trump media isn't already plastered 24/7

Exactly. The difference is one was made a talking point while another isn't. That was the whole point but apparently pointing that out is a bad thing

Biden mental decline was also heavily discussed during his presidency. It didn't just pop up during the election cycle.

So....then it would make more sense that it would cause more scrutiny

Especially considering his cognitive decline was way more prevalent than Trump's

And also having certain mainstream media push to suppress it (cheap fake conspiracy theiry, sharp as a tack off camera) only exacerbated it

You really got your both sides hat on today for this one. If you truly think the coverage of trump mental health decline is the same as Biden’s you really are living in an alternate reality. Biden caught it from all sides to the point it, as you said, he dropped out of the race. That media suppression worked wonders didn't it?

Clearly by your own measure it hasn't effected trump or the overall perception of the ability to do his job or else he wouldn't have won. You're proving my point

And the bold is why you jumped out to defend trump. You dont think he's showing as bad of a decline. Also hilarious you finished it off with that last sentence as if trump isn't literally threatening to have tv stations licenses pulled for bad coverage of him or hasn't sued over it. But I guess that wouldn't affect how he's covered huh?

You acting as if im disputing the level of scrutiny Biden received when im pointing out the lack of the coverage of trump decline.

I got my both sides hat on everyday sir. I'm not saying the coverage is the same, I'm telling you WHY it was more on Biden at that time.
The issue isn't whether media suppression worked, it was the fact they had the nerve to try to pull what was so obvious to anyone with two eyes and half a brain.

Bidens cognitive decline was more prevalent during the campaign. I'd say trump isn't even as bad now as Biden was then. That's the difference.

And people rebuffed it, and called out anyone who said he wasn't mentally fit back then. The ONLY reason Biden dropped out was because of his debate performance. Nothing he did the last 2-3 years of his presidency were even his decision.

Let's not rewrite history. Los is still in here saying Biden wasn't that bad.

Whats your point about trump coverage? U don't think he's got any media at his neck (deservedly) everyday calling out every move?

I'm not defending anything he's doing.

It's nowhere near the same level of concern, coming from inside his own party, nor made as serious a talking point as to why he's acting the way he is. Everything Biden did from tying his shoes weird was "Oh he's got dementia". Trump out here making up words and forgetting shit in front of the world and the US media all of a sudden isn't filled with experts who are calling for a doctor to give him a cognitive test on a weekly basis.

And thats where we differ. I think his is showing just as much if not more if nothing else because he insists on talking to the public more. And you said the coverage isn't the same. So you agree with me.

I'm not rewriting history. The very nature of my post inherently acknowledges Biden’s decline in order for the comparison to be made. Yet again though for some odd reason a criticism of trump brings out "well yeah but Biden did it too".

Because there isn't an election happening and there are actual policies being implemented which ARE getting plenty coverage and scrutiny.
