As we approach the 2024 election, a curious narrative has emerged in mainstream media: both President Biden and former President Trump are portrayed as less-than-ideal choices—aging relics of political history. However, the media’s framing suggests an underlying conspiracy theory: while Biden is allegedly suffering from mental decline, Trump remains as astute as ever, untouched by the sands of time.
The media’s agenda, though rarely voiced outright, undoubtedly colored the electoral discourse. President Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate was lackluster, even by the low standards typically set for incumbent candidates seeking re-election. Yet, the critique of Biden was already in full swing long before the debate stage was set.
Observers of Trump’s campaign noted troubling signs that hinted at a man experiencing cognitive decline. Those who followed his campaign closely reported on his diminishing public appearances, waning energy levels, and increasingly bizarre statements that often seemed disconnected from reality.
To many, it appeared that Trump lacked the necessary stamina to serve as president. Yet, the media’s loudest voices fixated on Biden, insisting he was the true source of concern.
Now, as Trump’s track record of undermining public services and accelerating economic downturns becomes increasingly apparent, some media outlets are finally taking note and suggesting that Trump may indeed be experiencing mental decline.
