Why is the MSM not talking about 45's health?

Every time 45 mentioned Hillary's "stamina" the media felt obliged to point out and question her health over and over again, right up to and including the absurdity of questioning her coughing during a speech when it was obvious all she needed was a sip of water.

Yet here we are with 45 displaying signs of dementia and severe exhaustion during his Europe trip and while I see people here and liberals on twitter questioning these things, I hear absolutely no reports about it in the MSM. Why is it not news to question why 45 needed a golf cart to get around during the G7 and was wandering around confused during a meeting with Bibi?

live up to impossible standards and cons have to live up to nothing.


The issue now is will trump and friends destroy all life. We can and will have to build a new democracy, if we survive.


Cant take back the house, the purity movement led by certain progressives that I cant name, will make sure of that.

ridiculing his doctor (justifiably). His voters just didn't care because Trump is the white wing racist they've been waiting for.

Media will report on his health, but possible treason, his criminal administration, and obstruction of justice is more exciting right now.
