    I think it’s about expectations .Trump has always been llike this, no one expected anything different, but the Biden’s campaign set the expectation of a youthful old guy.

      I would believe that. I still think the media crucified him unnecessarily after the debate. Plenty of shitty policies to criticize him over. I’m honestly surprised at how quickly people turned on him after most people on here saying he’s old, but he’s doing OK as president and ill vote for him. Makes me wonder if lemmy has the same bot problem everywhere else does.

        Axios had a good quote on this. “Hell hath no fury like a press corps scorned.”

        Basically, Biden’s campaign and presidency have been constantly telling the press corps that he’s totally fine and spry, which was a total lie they were covering up. It made the press look like idiots, and they were pissed, so they did their job and dug and hyped everything they could find, and everything they had been sitting on, after the debate.
