It’s not just that there’s just a 3-year age difference between #Trump and #Biden, or that only Biden was infamous for flubs when he was young.
The poll they’re referring to only had a 10-point difference between the 67% who said Biden’s too old to serve and the 57% who said the same of Trump. #media #Election2024
#Biden administration restored a #US legal finding dating back nearly 50 years that #Israeli settlements in the occupied #Palestinian territories are “illegitimate” under international law.
#Biden to issue executive order aimed at protecting Americans’ sensitive data from #China and other ‘hostile countries’
The measure targets the business of selling people’s personal information, which the White House said could be used “to track Americans (including military service members), pry into their personal lives," and be passed on to foreign intelligence.

Seth Meyers: How do you address concerns about your age?
🔥President #Biden: First, you have to look at the other guy. He’s about as old as me but he can't even remember his wife's name. It's also about how old your ideas are. He wants to take us back 60 years. It's about the future
"Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing.
'Phonemic paraphasias' —the substitution of non-words for words that sound similar—are not normally seen until a patient enters the moderate to severe stages of Alzheimer’s.
Some examples of Trump’s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes 'benefishes.' Renovations become 'renoversh.' Pivotal became 'pivobal.'"

#Trump underperformed the polls again and had 40% of voters in a Republican primary vote against him. What is she even talking about? We don’t recall this same energy when #Biden won 96%+ of the vote in #SouthCarolina.

Kristen Welker wants you to know that Trump CRUSHED, TROUNCED, and DOMINATED Nikki Haley last night
All of the Haley voters in this piece who loathe Trump but will vote for him in Nov cite Biden's age as the reason. NYT happily ran their near-identical quotes.
When you read this, keep in mind that every reporter knows that friend and foe alike say #Biden is sharp, knowledgeable and well prepared for the job--and that the opposite was true of #Trump. #media https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/24/us/politics/nikki-haley-voters-trump-biden.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YE0.Emm9.WaGkrvILEQ9Q&smid=url-share

President #Biden at the Gridiron Dinner:
"One candidate is too old, mentally unfit to be president. The other's me."

Keep it up!

President #Biden just announced his 46th round of nominees for federal judicial positions — bringing the number of announced federal judicial nominees to 224.
Trump, on the other hand…

New from the Physician to the President after #Biden's physical:
"President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief."
I’m 54. Came of age politically under Reagan, when #Biden was in his early 40s.
There was never a time when he wasn’t infamous for making gaffes and flubs. It was the subject of endless discussion and late night TV jokes when he ran for POTUS in ‘88 and ‘08.
The legacy #media really twist themselves into contortions to avoid confronting the reality that their coverage shapes people’s perceptions.
Yeah, because nobody wants to work with Pres. Biden more than Trump does.
But he is bringing it right to Trump, so points for that.
President #Biden: Here's what I would say to Mr. #Trump. Instead of telling Congress to block it, join me in telling Congress to pass this bipartisan border bill. Instead of playing politics, why don't we just get together and get it done?
It never does, Angry.

Make it make sense
Rick Lenzie:
Republicans are actively investigating Joe #Biden while claiming the president has total immunity.
Pres #Biden: "Today, in 2024 in America, women are being turned away from emergency rooms and forced to travel hundreds of miles for health care ... And now, a court in Alabama put access to some fertility treatments at risk for families who are desperately trying to get pregnant. The disregard for women's ability to make these decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable. "Make no mistake: this is a direct result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade."
President Joe #Biden met Thursday with the wife and daughter of the late Russian opposition leader Alexey #Navalny.
