Trump’s physician said the president’s performance on cognitive exams was “exceptional.”
The medical report was notably released on Biden’s 81st birthday. “I am pleased to report that President Trump’s overall health is excellent. His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional. In addition, his most recent extensive laboratory analysis remains well within normal limits and was even more favorable than prior testing in some of the most significant parameters, most likely secondary to weight reduction,” Aronwald wrote.
“It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health, and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance, he will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come,” Aronwald added.
Out of date Biden Talks up the Old Days; “folksy style” is an authentic asset say his handlers. Young Voters Say No Thanks; he’s losing support from blocs of millennials and Gen Z he “won” in 2020
Candidate Biden is now in his 82nd year and seeks re-election, but his incessant stories about dead people and his references to people faded from public view, appear out of date to younger audiences. More than 60 years separates Biden from voters who will cast their first ballots in 2024, an acute age gap that presents a challenge for the oldest president in U.S. history. Youth voting increased significantly in 2020. Among 18 to 29 year old voters, 2020 Biden “beat” President Donald Trump by “24 percentage points.”
His continued references to politicians that Gen Z cannot relate to definitely puts him out of touch, critics say. Biden’s team counters that the president’s “old-time references” are part of his “folksy style” that is an authentic asset, and they say newer generations connect to his ages-old wisdom and experience (relevant to an earlier era).
Biden, who’ll be 86 at the end of a second term, has long employed his “greatest-hits,” stories including admonitions from his late parents and grandparents.The nostalgic tales can feel like an unnerving turn through a 5th grade dog-eared history book of the 40’s.
Biden’s talk of his dealings with long gone segregationist senators like Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and James Eastland of Mississippi are actually offputting to the woke generation. Biden says when his first wife and daughter were killed in 1972, shortly after his first Senate victory, he was supported by a group of oldsters, now deceased, senators, then-Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, Thomas Eagleton of Missouri and Fritz Hollings of South Carolina.
Republicans have consistently sought to portray Biden as old and out of touch. Trump has mocked Biden’s age and abilities while the Republican National Committee, on X, recently declared Biden was “not playing with a full deck.”
Other old-timer Biden quirks are his bygone cultural references. During a Vietnam-centered news conference in September, he drew a moral equivalence between a John Wayne Western and skeptics of climate change.
So no numbers. No test results. Just a paragraph telling us he is an excellent specimen of a human being?
He is an old man, too.
