Despite the positive remarks from the Democrats, the video points to increasing concerns from the public. Trump shared this video without making a direct comment but clearly aimed to highlight the discrepancy between the praise from Biden’s supporters and the skepticism expressed by many Americans.
The video hits after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford accused the media of giving Biden's cognitive decline short shrift—in an issue that has increasingly been difficult to ignore. Crawford's remarks, discussed against the context of a Wall Street Journal report, explained how White House staff reportedly have also been trying to curtail Biden's public appearances in an attempt to conceal his thought process issues.
