The Spin

Trump's persistent bruising on both hands, unexplained MRI visits and repeated instances of appearing to doze off during official meetings reveal a troubling pattern that demands transparency. The administration's evasive responses and attempts to cover up visible health issues with makeup and bandages only fuel legitimate concerns about fitness for office. At 79, these aren't minor cosmetic issues but potential indicators of undisclosed conditions that voters deserve to know about.

President Trump's physician has certified his remarkable health — his heart functioning like that of someone 14 years younger, with stellar results across every vital measure. Yet the same media voices now questioning his fitness previously praised Biden as "healthy and vigorous" after stumbles and decline. The hypocrisy is glaring: identical outlets championed Biden's wellness while now casting doubt on Trump's objectively superior health.
