After years of dismissing concerns about the supposed cognitive decline of Joe Biden, Democrats have recently shifted their stance, utilizing age as an argument against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, now that Biden has formally stepped down from the presidential race.
In the past, Biden’s advocates appeared indifferent to the age of the candidates, deeming it an inappropriate issue to focus on. However, with Biden’s departure from the race, Trump has been labeled by liberals as “too old” to sustain the role of President.
Remember, in June, if you showed a video of Biden acting like a clueless buffoon, it was a “cheap fake.”
Micah Erfan, a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee of Texas Democrats, has been notably outspoken on this matter, asserting that Trump’s age makes him unfit for the Presidency. This viewpoint has been reinforced by Brianne Wu, Executive Director of a progressive super PAC, who commended Democrats for flipping the Republicans’ initial argument about Biden’s age against Trump. This sentiment has also gained traction within liberal social media circles.
The media is following suit:
Fired CNN host Brian Stelter put out a montage of clips showing that Trump is showing cognitive decline.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said that “Trump is now the oldest nominee in US presidential history.”

Now that the coup has successfully removed their cognitively impaired nominee, they’re going with the "Trump is too old” narrative. pic.twitter.com/d02BRY4A7s

Now these progressive commentators are claiming: Trump, being the oldest Presidential nominee in history, is too old to lead the country effectively. They argue his age has led to a discernible decline in his vocabulary, an inability to finish sentences, and frequent instances of forgetting names.
They are laughable folks, and they act like we can’t remember anything past seven days ago.
Biden has difficulty going up and down stairs. Meanwhile, former president Donald Trump just had an attempt on his life and, after taking a bullet to the side of his head, got up defiantly with his fist in the air.
Meanwhile…
