"I mean, we cover it all the time on my show, all the time, and I think that is to a large degree because we saw what happened with Biden, and while we covered it, we didn't cover it maybe we didn't ask as many questions as we should have at the time, and I think it is a legitimate question for any president of any age, but particularly anybody who is like in range of being an octogenarian, right? We cover it all the time."
"Now, I didn't write a book about Joe Biden's missteps. Alex and I wrote a book about an unprecedented event happening, which was Joe Biden having such a horrible performance at a presidential debate where his only job was to convince people he was up to the task of being president for another four years. His performance being so bad that people thought, Oh my God, should he drop out of the race.'"
Coverage of President Trump's health has become frequent to address concerns about aging and cognitive fitness, partly because earlier coverage did not probe President Biden's cognitive decline sufficiently. A book was written about an especially poor Biden debate performance that prompted questions about his ability to continue the campaign and led some to consider whether he should drop out. The intensified scrutiny includes incidents such as apparent nodding off in meetings and a Truth Social rant in which Trump called New York Times coverage of his aging 'sedition' or 'treasonous'. Age-related fitness is framed as a legitimate concern for any president, especially those nearing their eighties.
