Trump himself dismissed the concerns, saying about the test: “Whatever it is. I got every one right.”
Critics point to a double standard, contrasting media scrutiny of Trump with how Biden’s cognitive struggles are reported. A new book, Original Sin, alleges Biden often forgets names, rarely appears in public after 6 p.m., and may require a wheelchair if re-elected. “Trump should… sit for a public cognitive exam,” wrote Democratic strategist Max Burns.
Trump’s defenders say his busy schedule proves his vitality. He described 18-hour days and joked, “There’s no thoughts of leisure, no going to the beach like Sleepy Joe Biden did and falling asleep in front of the press.”
