Faced with Trump's cognitive decline, the media gives him cover

Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, are struggling with women voters, and it’s not a new problem for them. In 2020, Trump lost them to Joe Biden by 15 percentage points (57% to 42%), according to exit polls. And here’s a fun fact: Despite winning married women by 4 points (51% to Biden’s 47%), Trump lost women with children by 13 points (43% to 56%).

To address these issues, you might expect Trump to offer—at the very least—warmed-over pablum when asked how to make child care affordable. Instead, he offered yet more proof of his mental collapse.

The NYT and ABCNNBCBS would be livid and foaming at the mouth about how unfit he would be for office.

When he finished, the audience at the Economic Club applauded his response! It makes one wonder what those people heard because everything Trump said was gibberish. That's weird.

The media is following the pro GOP road map they created in 2000. Now they're attacking V.P. Harris and ignoring the orange turd's blatantly obvious cognitive decline. No dem would ever get away with the orange turd's behavior.
