Media Focuses on President's Health: A Deeper Look
The discussion about President Joe Biden's health is omnipresent in the media. For months there have been intensive reports about the 81-year-old's situation, while questions about the mental fitness and physical condition of former President Donald Trump have faded into the background.
This focus on Biden's health has caused many people in the US and around the world to have second thoughts. Especially after the TV duel between Biden and Trump, it became clear that this is not just about political narratives, but also about the sad reality of a president with worrying health. A condition that revives the memory of previous presidents such as Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and John F. Kennedy, whose health problems were concealed.
The reactions to Biden's appearance in the television duel were varied. While Trump's supporters accept his unpredictability and lies as a given, Biden's appearance caused horror among Democrats. The question about his suitability as a candidate for the coming elections became significantly louder.
The TV duel also revealed the harshness of the conditions under which the candidates operated. With no audience in the studio, no ability to use cheat sheets, they were tested in the same way. But this test was too much for Biden. In the end, he remained a shadow of his former self, further increasing concerns about his condition.
