The latest edition of the Washington Week with The Atlantic weekly political roundtable tried to change the subject from President Biden’s obvious frailty and mental decline to Donald Trump’s odd anecdotes at campaign rallies.
Show host (and editor of The Atlantic magazine) Jeffrey Goldberg opened the show by noting the looming Biden-Trump debate, admitting both candidates were old and unpopular, but “….Only one is a convicted felon, however, and yet the pressure is somehow on Joe Biden to prove that he has what it takes to continue in office. Donald Trump will obviously try to highlight what he and his supporters see as Biden’s frailty. Biden will undoubtedly highlight the fact that Trump led an anti-constitutional insurrection.”
From that slanted start, the panelists spent time trying to make the Republican’s mental acuity the issue, not the Democrat’s obvious decline.
