Also, here are 10 articles, ranging from 2023 to two weeks ago, about Trump’s cognitive decline, including op eds from CNN and the Boston Globe questioning his fitness and an article from the Atlantic about why questioning his cognition isn’t as effective as it should be:
I’m just so sick of this bullshit narrative. The media ignored Biden’s decline until it was undeniable, and Democrats act like a few journalists doing postmortem well after the election is a huge betrayal. Meanwhile, Trump’s aging is getting far more coverage than Biden’s got, but liberals are pretending there’s a conspiracy to ignore it because the cabinet hasn’t invoked the 25th amendment. It’s infuriating.
I think it feels this way because - while articles are one thing - social media “atmosphere” was very different. I couldn’t go two posts without someone calling for Biden’s resignation, and it was all over the place, whereas with Trump it’s… Like, yeah, a couple of more prominent Democrats do that, but not really, and otherwise it seems like everyone just goes “such is life now”.
Criticizing their favorite politician means they’re un-American, and must be purged to ensure the security of party unity.
Democrats are just becoming more like Republicans every day. Next time a comedian calls out Newsom, they’ll say they need to be deported back to Russia.
Archived link, because I guess that headline was too ambiguous. The Hill op ed was also written this year, and while they aren’t op eds, I shared three other articles from 2025 about Trump’s mental state, and this was just from a cursory web search. The point is, the press is talking about this, even if its not leading to the outcome we want.
Questions about Biden’s fitness were brushed aside until he had an unprecedented meltdown during a live debate. Also, Trump’s health was a major news story just last month, when he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. This also came up again this week when people spotted badly applied makeup to his hand. Also, it was a minor news story when Trump fell asleep during Pope Francis’ funeral. And his meeting with the Saudis. And his press conference wirh Dr. Oz. And his trial last year.

The comment clearly states in a major newspaper, this year.
Granted you’ve linked some major newspapers, and some stories from this year, but not a single story in a major newspaper from this year.
That’s the point. It’s clearly dialed back, because he’s in power and crazy.
