Glass Houses: GOP Scrutiny of Biden’s Health and the Trump Problem

The Republican defense of Donald Trump’s fitness collides with GOP efforts to question Joe Biden’s health, creating a double standard that is backfiring.

Over the weekend, the questions started to rage about Donald Trump’s health. President Trump, as of this writing, has not been seen in public since his cabinet meeting Wednesday. Rumors ran roughshod throughout the three days all asking one basic, simple question.

If this is reminiscent of recent times, you’re right. Republicans spent much of Joe Biden’s four years in office questioning the official story about Joe Biden’s health and wondering if he was fit for office. Now, not even eight months into his second term, we are stuck with serious questions about whether or not Donald Trump is fit enough to serve.

How the hell did we get here?
