Donald Trump's niece, Dr. Mary Trump, who has a Ph.D. as a psychologist, explained that Americans are seeing Joe Biden as old because the media is more obsessed with it than they are with legitimate questions about the former president's cognition.
Speaking to MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Sunday, Dr. Trump said that one of the main reasons that people don't see her uncle as having cognition problems is because all the news, including mainstream non-right-wing news, ignores it.
"I think it has to do with what takes get exposure," said Dr. Trump. "For example, we've been hearing endlessly about Joe Biden's age not just from right-wing media that are in the tank for Donald, but everywhere. We see it in the headlines of major newspapers. What we don't hear about is Donald's increasing inability to remember where he is, or who is president of where, or whom he ran against in the last election. Because I think that the gravest danger we are facing in this particular context is that Donald's egregious just behavior, from his criminality to his mendacity, to his lack of intelligence and his total unfitness — it's just baked in. So, it's not news, it's not pointed out, it's just a given. So, people don't even pay attention to it anymore. That's very concerning."
Donald Trump frequently talked about how much money he made for the media while president because every rant and tweet garnered clicks that earned money. In 2016, the New York Times reported that Trump was able to score about $2 billion in free media throughout 2015.
