However much you hate the media, it’s not enough. The latest reminder comes courtesy of The Washington Post.
On Friday, Donald Trump’s birthday, the Post ran a predictable — but nonetheless despicable — piece of 2024 election propaganda titled, “Donald Trump, potential future oldest president, turns 78.”
“Age is just a number, the adage goes. For Donald Trump, that number just got bigger,” writes national political “reporter” Marianne LeVine, who adds that Trump’s age “has also drawn notice from some voters and experts on aging.”
Oh, experts you say? The Post and other media lapdogs love nothing more than laundering their opinions through self-styled “experts,” as we all saw with the Covid panic, Democrats’ republic-destroying lawfare, “cooling” inflation, forever wars, and more — including now apparently presidential fitness and “aging.” As for what the voters notices, let’s just say it diverges from the headline.
The Post cites two polls of voters. In May, Marquette Law School asked registered voters, “How well does [too old to be president] describe Biden or Trump?” Of the results, the Post wrote: “Seventy-nine percent said it described Biden very or somewhat well, while 54 percent said it described Trump very or somewhat well.”
The newspaper then cites an April Pew Research poll showing that, in the Post’s telling, “62 percent of voters said they were not confident in Biden’s mental fitness, and 65 percent said they were not confident in his physical fitness. Trump drew more positive ratings but still faced doubts: 48 percent said they were not confident in his mental fitness, and 39 percent said the same of his physical fitness.” Leading to The Washington Post framing the results as “fewer than half of Biden’s supporters” being confident in his fitness, as opposed to a “majority of Trump supporters” expressing confidence in their candidate.

Clue that biden may be replaced.
Logic? Reason? Consistency?
Naw, they don’t need that.
They get away with it by using the phrase “potential future oldest” President. If nobody else has ever campaigned that was older than 78, then it’s not a lie. Of course, the average non-political American only hears oldest president, even though it’s not true. 😖
Remember when Ronald Reagan was elected at 69 and the dems had a .....fit? They said he was too old and would not last his first term in office. One magazine even had an illustration of a dead Reagan on a hospital gurney.
Now they claim an old doddering 81 year old is the best man for the job. Second Term!
I am 77 and just had my medicare checkup. Passed it with flying colors, even the puzzles and clock face test. I would like to see Biden take that test.
Now in two years, who knows?
Biden is 81
My dad was 81 when he reposed.
The next generations of patralineal ancestors were 63 - 62 - 63
I’m 64—living on borrowed. time.
Ueahm but Trump is active, and smart, not sleepy and senile.
