Let me cut to the chase. Even if there were a “cover up” of the previous president’s infirmity, that’s not why Donald Trump won. Yet that is the allegation hiding in the subtext of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book. The sin in Original Sin is evidently the sin of pride, as in: Joe Biden was just too damn proud to let go of power. And due to his sinfulness, our democracy is now on the brink of collapse. Most of the attention seems to be on the question of Biden’s cognitive decline.

I don’t think the cat fight between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is staged or fake. At the same time, I don’t think either man means it. To be sure, Trump has said that maybe he should cancel Musk’s government contracts. In reply, Musk has said that Trump is in the Epstein files, implying that he’s a pedophile. (Musk has also endorsed the idea of impeaching Trump, thus making JD Vance president.)But come on. These are not serious men. They are bullies. They don’t really want combat.

The current president has decided that it’s a good idea for his regime to investigate criminally the previous president’s “cognitive decline.”In political terms, this is ploy. Donald Trump wants to create conditions in which to invalidate legislation Joe Biden signed into law. He will say that Biden was too emfeebled to know what he was doing. Biden is out of power. He’s a pariah among some in his own party. And now he has what appears to be terminal cancer of the prostate.
