Donald Trump is “manifesting signs of old age” and it is putting MAGA in a tough spot, according to a former GOP insider.
Kurt Bardella, a former staffer for Republican Senator Olympia Snowe and Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, spoke to The Guardian for an article called, “Trump attacks old foe Biden – but presidential parallels hard to avoid.”
On the economy, Bardella said, “It’s hard not to see the parallels both in terms of their age and how that manifests itself and certainly the condition of the economy.”
“Trump has been cast in this role that Joe Biden had to play out and seemingly trying to use the same script, which is to convince people that you’re not feeling what you’re really feeling,” he said. “It’s an unenviable political challenge.”
The article goes on to say, “The health of US presidents has long been a delicate and sometimes thorny issue between the White House and the press,” before quoting “Bardella, a former Republican congressional staffer who switched to the Democrats,” as saying, “Donald Trump and Republicans are going to be held to the same standard that they set for Biden.”
“You don’t get to challenge the media constantly and accuse the media of covering up Biden’s health and mental deterioration, and then turn around with someone who is certainly manifesting signs of old age and be bewildered that the same media that you ginned up and lectured and chastised and sued is now doing the same thing to you,” he wrote in the weekend piece.
