Donald Trump couldn’t seem to drink a glass of water without using his trunk. Every time Trump tried to stand still, he had to hold his right arm down because we saw it spasm any number of times. Trump seemed to have a great deal of difficulty looking up for more than 10 to 15 seconds.
The sniffles, always, occurring after long-rumored (rumors) of dr*g ab*se. Person, man, woman, camera, tv. Trump had to weigh over 300 lbs and bragged about Kentucky Fried Chicken and Big Macs. A rushed trip to the ER that was never explained. COVID. And then the utter delusion that he won the election, which he clearly seems to actually believe.
Biden has a cough, a stutter, and perhaps isn’t quite as razor-sharp as he once was but still plenty sharp to kick Trump’s ass.
We remember a few mild questions about Trump’s health. We don’t remember hearing a question about a simple cough. Yesterday, with evidently nothing better to report upon, NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell asked about Biden coughing. Jen Psaki appeared and sounded visibly annoyed:
PSAKI: It’s not a concern. We have a doctor who travels with him, obviously, who checks in if it is ever warranted, and certainly that continues to be the case as it has been since the beginning of his presidency.
O’DONNELL: Is there an explanation for why he coughs so frequently in situations like that? I’m sure you saw it.
PSAKI: I did. I don’t think it’s an issue of concern. I think there are a range of reasons why we may need to clear our throat, or we may have a little light cold. And that’s certainly something that presidents, elected officials, reporters, spokespeople can confront. But it’s not an area where we have a medical concern.
We can see it on Hannity now. “Even NBC reporter now asking about Biden’s failing health, can barely speak through coughs, which surely indicated pneumonia or throat cancer.”
