MAGA man is shocked that we're discussing Trump's age, cognitive decline

Clint from Oregon says it's hypocritical considering we criticized media focus on Biden's age. But we always highlighted Trump's brain decay while media largely ignored it.

Note to readers: I’m going on vacation! Heading to the beach for a week to relax and recharge before I attend what will be an exciting Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which I’ll cover for my SiriusXM program.

So I won’t be posting much for the next week. Weekend Report will be more like a few lines on the news, and you can all take it from there, having a discussion. I’m back next Friday, August 2. Thanks!

Clint from Oregon called my SiriusXM program as I discussed President Biden leaving the presidential race, Vice President Harris now running for the presidency, and Donald Trump now being the oldest person in the presidential race.

I pointed out that, hopefully, the media would now focus more on Trump’s age and cognitive decline, as they had one-sidedly focused on President Biden’s age in an obsessive way.

“I don’t even know where to start,” Clint, a MAGA devotee, said. “I find it very ironic that you guys are now making age an issue in this campaign while you spent all of last year saying Joe Biden was sharp as a tack.”

Okay, let’s make a couple of things clear. Joe Biden stepped down because of polling—not because of cognitive decline. He had a terrible debate, and it added to perceptions about him, rightly or wrongly, and the polls got worse. He’s been running the country for four years, got an enormous amount done, and can continue to run the country.

Secondly, we aren’t “now making age an issue in this campaign.” It was the media and the GOP that did that, focusing on Biden.

We’ve been talking about Trump’s cognitive decline for a long time, while much of the media ignored it. Only in recent months, as it got really bad—the Nick Halley/Nancy Pelosi mix up became a focal point—did the media start giving it more attention.

After I explained all of this to Clint, he asked, “When are you gonna start talking about Kamala’s brain malfunctions?” He began to allude to her once saying she liked Venn diagrams (which has now become the focus of fun Gen Z memes, which only add to the excitement of her campaign), which is hardly a brain malfunction.

That’s when I had to let this clown go. If this is all they’ve got, it’s going to be a painful election campaign for MAGA.

Listen in, and let me know your thoughts!
