Is Trump just confused... or losing it? And why is the media only willing to admit one side’s slipping?

This week, I’m digging into the media’s selective outrage over cognitive decline — calling out how they covered for Joe Biden for years, only to pivot after his disastrous debate… while staying weirdly silent on Trump’s own spiral into boomer Facebook uncle energy. We’ll walk through Trump’s latest unhinged ideas (reopening Alcatraz? tariffing movies?), why he genuinely seems to believe a photoshopped gang tattoo is real, and how the press helped build this mess — then blamed everyone but themselves.

This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about how both parties are running old men past their prime, while their media allies play PR flack instead of doing journalism. And if we can’t admit when a president is mentally unfit, what happens when real decisions need to be made?

Let’s talk about it.

🧠 Chapters

00:00 – Why does the media suddenly care about mental fitness now?

02:24 – Is Biden declining... or was the press just covering for him?

12:17 – When the media sort of admitted it — too late

15:36 – Trump’s recent ideas: Alcatraz, movie tariffs, and total nonsense

23:03 – Did Trump really believe the MS-13 tattoo was real?

26:08 – Is he lying… or just gullible and declining?

31:16 – Why Trump can’t let go of 2020 (and what it might mean)

35:55 – The press won’t ask hard questions — again

39:43 – Trump’s policy worldview: nostalgia in a MAGA hat

42:58 – What if both guys are losing it — and no one will admit it?
