Bulwark Managing Editor Sam Stein and Bulwark writer Lauren Egan say Democrats are reluctant to make President Donald Trump\u2019s advanced age and health a political issue. Only they really should. <\/p>\n

In Egan\u2019s words: Trump is old. And he is a mess.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have all seen the signs of Donald Trump growing older,\u201d said Egan. \u201cHe turns 80 next month. He has some weird bruising on his hands \u2026 and not only has he fallen asleep in the Oval Office. \u2026 He had an MRI last year but didn’t really tell us why. He’s not transparent about his health, which is obviously not exactly like a new thing for presidents. But after Biden we have all these questions. And he is he’s old.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stein pointed out that Americans just lived through two years of \u201cextensive, very aggressive\u201d campaign against Joe Biden for being old and frail. But unlike Republicans and their right-wing propaganda networks, Democrats don\u2019t appear to be up for some very easy payback against the slurring, sleepy president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DNC is being kind of spicy in their Twitter account and in their TikTok account, but I think the problem for them is that their stuff just doesn’t pop off in the way that it did with the RNC back in the Biden administration,\u201d said Egan. \u201cThe RNC would clip something that Biden would do and \u2026 and it would go viral and basically the national press corps of people covering the White House would force these kinds of stories into the mix and people covered it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Egan went on to say that, rather than throwing up their hands, Democrats \u201cdo have a role to play in that they can force the issue\u201d in to the pres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can do things to get it into the front page of the New York Times or Washington Post in a way that Republicans really understand,\u201d Lauren said. \u201cDemocrats like to play referee and they think that guilting you will like change something as opposed to trying to shift their strategy a little bit and force people to cover some of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last said he recalled Republicans and their propaganda allies hammering Hillary Clinton\u2019s email \u201cevery single day,\u201d pushing topics such as email retention snafus into the front page because it’s \u201call they’re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, Trump’s taking documents to his bathroom in Mar-a-Lago and no one seems to notice that everyone’s on Signal. Who knows what kind of government retention policies they’re practicing, if any, at the White House. Democrats aren’t pushing that,\u201d said Last.<\/p>\n

But of course, there’s only \u201cso many hours in a day,\u201d said Egan.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do have to make editorial choices. And if Democrats aren’t out there forcing this, it’s just an easier decision when there’s all the corruption issues and everything else there is to cover. You understand why age might not always be top of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
