The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

The media's obsession with Trump's every move has reached absurd levels. When Biden was not seen publicly for weeks on end, nobody batted an eye, but when Trump dares to do the same for a fraction of the time, the press scrambles to produce drama out of thin air. This manufactured crisis perfectly demonstrates why the media has lost credibility with the American people.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's defensive response and visible health issues raise legitimate concerns about transparency regarding the president's condition. The bruising, swelling, and visible makeup potentially suggest more serious health problems than the White House admits. At 79, the oldest president in U.S. history deserves proper scrutiny of his fitness for office.
