Media: Biden old -->Poll public:Biden old--> Media: Public worried Biden old, let's discuss [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-25 I'm 😐 so over this! The media relentlessly pushes stories that say President Biden is old. President Biden doesn't walk fast and he has a stutter. Every once in a great while, he might make a minor gaffe. And confirmation bias is a real thing. Then polling shows that the public is worried about President Biden's age. Gee I wonder how and why that happened 😲??? Then, the media justifies more articles about President Biden's age by writing that polls shows that the voters are worried about President Biden's age. And the cycle has a feedback loop, it reinforces and strengthens the concern about President Biden's age. But they are almost completely silent on the fact that Donald Trump is only THREE years younger than President Biden. . This is analogous to what happened with the false conspiracy theory that the election was stolen. Donald Trump, starting two to three months prior to the election, tells his followers that the election might be stolen. Then as the truth that President Biden won a free and fair election devoid of outcome altering voter fraud becomes apparent to most voters, Donald Trump essentially says that what we feared was going to happen, did, namely that the election was stolen. Far right extremist conspiracy theory driven Republican media outlets all push Trump's false conspiracy theory that the election was stolen. So, some 60 million republican voters believe that the election was stolen. So, Senator Ted Cruz justifies voting against counting electoral college votes by saying that some 60 million republican voters have doubts about the election. Gee, Ted, I wonder why these republican voters believe that??? I can't imagine why. . A: Media pushes stories about or stories that emphasize President Biden's age. -------> B: The public becomes more concerned about President Biden's age -----→ C: The public falls victim to confirmation bias and their concerns about President Biden's age are strengthened ------> D: Polls show that the voters are increasingly concerned about President Biden's age ----→ E: The media says since polls show that the voters are increasingly concerned about President Biden's age, then we must discuss President Biden's age more. -------> We return to A or B. They don't mention that Donald Trump is only THREE years younger than President Biden. So, if they are worried about President Biden's age, they should be equally worried about Donald Trump's age. Donald Trump's gaffes are far worse . Moreover, Donald Trump thinks exercise is bad for you. Donald Trump is also obese. Donald Trump has a poor diet. And then there's this: . . reIn October of 2020, a calculation of both of their biological ages was done and the result was President Joe Biden's biological age is younger than Donald Trump's biological age . Biden Element removed Biological age: 75 (estimated) Real age: 77 Healthy diet, no junk food: -1 year Exercises 5 days a week: -1 year Weight: 185 lbs -1 year Sleep: info unavailable Anger management: Able to control anger. No years added or subtracted. Trump Element removed Biological age: 85 (estimated)Real age: 74 Skips breakfast: +1 year Diet includes junk food and lots of meat: +2 years Exercise: none during the week and occasional golfing on weekends +1 year Weight: 244 lbs (10 pounds overweight) +1 year Sleep: 3-4 hours a night +2 years Anger management: uncontrollable anger all the time +1 year COVID side effects: +3 years The factors that led to this conclusion haven't changed. President Biden still eats healthy, exercises, and has an appropriate weight. Donald Trump doesn't eat healthy, doesn't exercise, and is obese. Therefore, we would find a similar result today. Regarding COVID, Trump's case was far worse. His temperature reached 103 degrees and he nearly died. . . . Mr. Trump's COVID SITUATION WAS FAR WORSE THAN HIS PROPAGANDA TEAM WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. HE ALMOST HAD TO BE PUT ON A VENTILATOR TWICE. . WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, according to four people familiar with his condition. Mr. Trump’s blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s, according to the people familiar with his evaluation. The disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s. But the new details about his condition and about the effort inside the White House to get him special access to an unapproved drug to fight the virus help to flesh out one of the most dire episodes of Mr. Trump’s presidency. The new revelations about Mr. Trump’s struggle with the virus also underscore the limited and sometimes misleading nature of the information disclosed at the time about his condition. At 74 and overweight, he was at risk for severe disease, and was prescribed an aggressive course of treatments. Mr. Trump had trouble breathing at the White House. He was twice given oxygen before being taken to Walter Reed, as Dr. Conley acknowledged after it was reported by The New York Times. Mr. Trump’s medical team said that on that Friday, he had a “high fever” and that his oxygen level dropped, requiring him to be administered oxygen. Mr. Trump’s oxygen level dropped again on Saturday. . They're both old, but Trump is old, a bigot, a sociopath, a malignant narcissist, a person with extreme present hedonism, has been indicted four times with 91 felony charges, and attempted a coup. None of that is true of President Biden. . .
