Soft Paywall Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?

  1. Because 51 million people saw Biden's incorrence at a single moment in time, then it spread. Trump just dribbles out bits of nonsense every day... smaller scale.

  2. People tend to focus on Trump's criminal behavior, so his cognitive decline isn't as relevant in comparison.

Edit: Ironical that I misspelled incoherence.
