Description

Donald Trump turns 80 next month, but Democrats still seem reluctant to make his age and health a political issue. Sam Stein and Lauren Egan give their takes on the questions about Trump’s bruised hands, dentist visits, public appearances, and why the overall transparency about Trump's health hasn't become a bigger story even after Republicans spent years relentlessly attacking Joe Biden over age and decline. Plus: Sam attempts to test Trump’s concealer explanation himself.

At 70 I’m old. At 80 he’s ancient. But without the wisdom that supposedly comes with it.

Its simple. When Biden was in office there wasn’t 100 other corrupt things going on. For Biden there was nothing else to cover.

Just because dRump is talking doesn't mean he is "engaged". Lots of word salad.

Looking at those closeups on Trump's hand gives me hope, that Satan will be coming to collect his prize.

But the media DOES have different standards for the Dems. They accept the GOP’s bullshit without a lot of scrutiny.

I just hate Jake Tapper for not actually doing the 'both sides' with this crap - Trump is terrible and I personally have advancing dementia and there is no way that I am even close to this crazy!

Yeah, this is another case where corporate media gives Trump a pass when they carried on and on about Biden. I canceled my New York Times subscription over their refusal to cover Trump's weird behavior on the campaign trail the way they did Biden's age. Nice bit with the concealer, Sam.

I swear, Dems would bring a hospitality basket to a gunfight. Take guidance from James Carville and go medieval on these fools. Otherwise continue to get rolled. Forget about Biden and Schumer and go after the octogenarian deteriorating before our eyes.
