seems the spotlight is once again on the so-called media’s perpetual game of distraction and deflection. Recently, there have been whispers about the health of a certain president, and surprisingly, they’re not yammering about the current leader, Joe Biden, but have pivoted their attention toward Donald Trump. Yes, the master of media presence, whose health is apparently a mystery to some despite his near-constant visibility and apparently boundless energy.
Biden’s state of health has been the elephant in the room, especially given his habitual gaffes and public stumbles that have left folks wondering if the White House has turned into just another retirement community. Despite these evident concerns, the media seems fixated on Trump’s health instead. These folks have the audacity to claim we know less about Trump despite his every move being analyzed and dissected by the press. The man’s been about as transparent as a freshly cleaned window, but let’s not let common sense get in the way of a good narrative spin.
Meanwhile, Trump’s activity level makes you wonder if he’s actually powered by Diet Coke and McDonald’s. His relentless schedule puts doubt to shame, with him engaging with the media impressively more than any recent leader. Where Biden seems to be playing hide-and-seek with the press, Trump embraces the spotlight even if it’s hostile territory. Imagine a leader who actually answers questions, right? It’s almost as if Trump thinks he’s in a reality show, whereas Biden… well, many political commentators might say he’s just in a daze.
While the media fusses about Trump, the real concern of the day perhaps dances awkwardly on the sidelines. His posture suggests he’s more unsteady than a giraffe on roller skates, yet no alarms there for the mainstream media. They’d rather shift the conversation and hope no one notices the patchwork of memory problems and misstatements that’ve become synonymous with the current president.
In a classic twist of irony, the media’s blinders were effectively lampooned in the latest consumer sentiment where a whopping majority smelled something fishy about how the mainstream outlets conveniently shielded Biden’s less than spry mental state. Trump, on the other hand, is more transparent than someone’s nosy next-door neighbor, always around to tell you about their weekend. With the contrast so stark, it’s a wonder anyone could argue this isn’t a mere pretext to keep the conversation away from what’s really happening in the West Wing.
Despite the media’s desperate attempt to make it about Trump, the public’s eyes are peeled, and their minds are made. They see a president who is neither transparent nor particularly capable. The days of deceptive distractions may be nearing their end as more Americans tune out the biased noise, instead opting for the refreshing and sometimes brutally honest voice that is Donald Trump. Now that’s a story worth covering.
