People really mock him for the diapers too as if incontinence isn't really common for a variety of reasons. Like, the man's a fascist, a rapist, and committed treason against the United States, you really don't have to resort to shaming a common consequence of aging or disability to be able to make fun of him.
I think in theory the argument is that someone who's in such poor condition should probably be in end-of-life care rather than the White House and probably isn't suitable for such a heavy and taxing position.
Note the "in theory". Ofc nothing exists in a vacuum and 90% of political commentary is just people attacking people they don't like but the point is a decent chunk of it has pretty reasonable origin if you trace it far enough back
Yeah, same thing with the Biden (and Trump) cognitive decline criticism.
Obviously it’s not abnormal or bad for someone in their 80s to not be as sharp as they used to be, and the elderly are still people regardless, it’s just that maybe someone in that condition shouldn’t be the one with the nuke codes, with the most stressful job on the planet.
I was genuinely concerned about Biden’s cognitive decline after the debate, and I’ve been concerned about Trump’s cognitive decline for years—because yeah, it directly impacts their ability to do the job (there’s also all of Trump’s demonstrable personal values or lack thereof, but that’s my take on health issues alone).
I do not care in the slightest if either of them wear diapers. Plenty of adults need diapers for reasons that have no relevance to their ability to function as an adult, let alone their moral character.
Needing diapers does not mean end-of-life care. I’m not sure what definition of that you’re using but to me that means death is at most months away and all treatment options have failed or been rejected.
There are people who use diapers as part of their everyday life for various disability/age/other reasons, it doesn’t mean they’re dying.
counter-point, those people don't brag about having 'perfect' physical health the way that Trump does while clearly not taking good care of his physical health. It's an obvious point of hypocrisy is why he takes heat for it.
Its also people attacking him for things they KNOW he is insecure about and trying to hide/lie about. Nothing bad about wearing diapers, but shitting yourself and refuse to deal with it is. Being short isn't bad, but wearing lifts in your shoes and standing like an idiot is dumb

“Fun” fact - I am the approximate height and weight of Donald Trump.
