Everyone recalls a few years ago when the liberal media questioned former President Trump’s health. For example, one New York Times report had this headline: “Trump’s Walk Down Ramp at West Point Raises Health Questions.”
In this column, the reporter said: “The president also appeared to have trouble raising a glass of water to his mouth during a speech at West Point a day before he turned 74, the oldest a president has been in his first term.”
Here’s another headline from ABC News: “Trump has taken pains to hide medical record, equating sickness with weakness: Critic.“
Here’s a headline from far-left Vox: “How Trump is using HIPAA to pick which medical details are released to the public.”
Should the President of the United States be transparent to the American people on their health status? Well, that’s a more considerable debate beyond the scope of this piece.
Lately, President Biden has appeared in public with repeated bouts of coughing.
The commander in chief’s cough has repeatedly raised health concerns. NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell asked Psaki just last month about it.
“Many of us were in the East Room watching the president. We’ve seen him on many occasions where he has a repeated cough. What is the situation with that cough? And is that a concern?” the veteran journalist asked Psaki.
“It’s not a concern,” Psaki said. “We have a doctor who travels with him, obviously, who checks in if there is — it is ever warranted. And certainly, that continues to be the case, as it has been since the beginning of his presidency.”
Allergies? Maybe the president needs to take some allergy medications.
Not surprisedly, this administration has not been transparent on President Biden’s health status. Next month, President Joe Biden will turn 79 years old. He will be the oldest president to hold high office. As a result, reporters have frequent requests to have the White House release his physical exam records.
Reporters asking for Joe Biden’s Physical Exam medical records MARCH – MAY – JULY – SEPT !!! If he can mandate an unapproved serum💉 to be injected into Americans, we should be able to MANDATE a PHYSICAL EXAM !

Where’s the transparency?? Where is Vox? Where’s the same liberal media questioning President Trump’s health status now?
The silence is deafening.
