Left Hook host Wajahat Ali and podcaster Danielle Moodie say President Donald Trump\u2019s people \u2014 and the media \u2014 is struggling to hide the president\u2019s obvious decline before cameras as a startled nation looks on.<\/p>\n

Read more DC insider stunned \u2018broken down\u2019 Trump is seen as a \u2018symbol of virility\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently witnessed a public official, Marco Rubio, testify before Congress that a prominent political figure \u2018never sleeps\u2019 and is a dynamo of nocturnal productivity,\u201d said Ali. \u201cMinutes later, he was confronted with video evidence from a cabinet meeting showing that very same figure slumped over, eyes tightly shut, completely asleep while Rubio himself was speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response? Universal, unabashed gaslighting,\u201d said Ali. \u201cWe are told he was \u2018blinking.\u2019 We are told he was \u2018resting his eyes.<\/p>\n

The sheer contrast between the treatment of former president Joe Biden and Trump is staggering, said Ali, highlighting \u201ca massive structural double standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Past Standard: A single stumble, a momentary verbal hitch, or an aging pivot from a conventional politician triggers months of relentless, wall-to-wall editorial panic from traditional media outlets like The New York Times<\/em> or ABC,\u201d said Ali, while the current Trump Standard involves \u201cdaily, glaring displays of physical and mental decline from the populist right met with polite obfuscation, normalized as \u2018toddler-like\u2019 eccentricities, or entirely ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moodie was equally outraged at the gaslighting, as Rubio insisted in a Tuesday House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that he\u2019d never witnessed Trump falling asleep. Minutes later Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calf.) played a video of Trump nodding off into oblivion directly beside Rubio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn what world would you ever be in a meeting and the person that’s supposed to be running the meeting is slumped over to the side, eyes closed, and everyone is just standing around and saying that what we are witnessing with our own eyes isn’t actually happening,\u201d said Moody. \u201cYou can’t make this kind of f\u2014\u2014 up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Biden, for all of his age, was riding bikes, was working out, looked agile. He had one moment 9during a debate) that cost him a second term. Donald Trump has that moment \u2014 let’s be clear \u2014 every single f\u2014\u2014 day and there is no New York Times non-stop coverage,\u201d Moody added angrily. \u201cThere is no ABC non-stop coverage. There is no pontificating on why we haven’t seen Donald Trump’s health records.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali said Trump\u2019s aids and his legion of fake news propagandists and influences are having to work overtime to cover for Trump\u2019s deterioration, but he said their fight has the same inevitable \u2014 and fast encroaching \u2014 end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s important for us keep sight that, yes, MAGA is still a cult, but it is shrinking and he is dying and people are defecting,\u201d Ali assured.<\/p>\n
