Why is Fox News panicking over questions about Donald Trump's cognitive health?
if you want to see fox just absolutely lose it bring up donald trump's accelerating cognitive decline if you even raise the question they have a utter freak out so when i had democratic leader hakeem jeffries on the midas touch network earlier this week I asked him, do you think it's a fair question that we raise Donald Trump's cognitive decline as a significant issue right now? And he goes, when he travels the country, he gets the question frequently. And he said, looking at Donald Trump's conduct, he understands why people are raising that issue with him. And he says he thinks it's a fair question. So throughout the entire day yesterday, Fox was focused on why would Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries ever bring this up?
And he should be talking about former President Biden. Just take a look over here at this chyron. It says, Jeffries, fair to question Trump's mental acuity. And like on the Will Cain show, they brought on Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman and they asked Congress member Goldman, come on, come on, Congressman. How could you ever possibly raise an issue about Donald Trump's mental issues? How could you ever do that? Watch what Democratic Congress member Goldman said in response. Play this clip.
I could debate you on each and every one of those things you just laid out, but I don't think you can call it whatever you want. I think that's an incorrect statement, Congressman. I think words have meaning and they matter. And I think you know that. I think we have to be careful with our words, especially if we're not trying to inflame the public and most certainly if we're trying to arrive at the truth. And after four years of having us gaslighted over the... competency, the mental acuity of the previous president, it's absurd to question, even if you disagree, Congressman, and clearly you do with much of the president, the competency of the sitting president today. I think the accuracy and truth of those words do matter.
Well, I don't think he's competent, Will. I don't know what to tell you. Whether his cognitive abilities are sufficient to get past the 25th Amendment, you know, we don't know that right now. But I think what is clear is that he has driven our country into a disastrous economy. He has undermining the fundamental rule of law and democracy. He is taking away benefits in order to cut taxes for the rich. I think even you, Will, would have to agree with me that this first 100 days is not at all what he promised the American people.
No, I'm sorry to notify you. I do not agree with you. I think this first 100 days is exactly what he promised the American people.
And more importantly, exactly what... I loved how Congressmember Goldman said that, look, it seems pretty obvious that Donald Trump is having cognitive issues. Now, you can go back to 2019 when Donald Trump took this secret trip to Walter Reed, There were many people at the time that were suspecting that Donald Trump may have been experiencing mini strokes because right around the time and thereafter, he really started slurring his words. And there are lots of people who opined on that. And I'll talk about that in a moment. And I want to be very clear. I'm not a medical doctor. I've taken a look at what medical doctors have said and opinions that they've given. I'm just expressing my opinion right now. But it seems this is a very sensitive topic for Fox and also for like Donald Trump's communications director in the White House, Steve Chung. So just take a look at what Steve Chung posted this past week.
He goes, CNN had this blithering idiot on Inside Politics from the Daily Beast named Joanna Coles making unsubstantiated claims about President Trump's health. Joanna is a piece of shit, clearly suffering from a debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome, rotting her pea-sized brain. So I went to see, like, what did Joanna Coles from The Daily Beast even say when she was interviewed? And I'll play the clip for you. She basically said, like, not a lot. Here, watch this clip.
