The Decline of Donald Trump
Recent observations highlight the ongoing decline of Donald Trump's mental and physical fitness as he campaigns for the presidency again. There are concerns about his erratic behavior, particularly his extended stage presence during a recent event where he simply swayed for 39 minutes, which many are deeming reflective of a deeper issue. This decline has led some media outlets and commentators to start questioning his suitability for office, especially given that he is the oldest candidate running. The media's treatment of Trump has raised eyebrows, particularly the double standards evident in the coverage of his past and present compared to that of other candidates, particularly Joe Biden.
