The tradition of protecting a politician’s infirmities from public knowledge has been with us forever. That whole second term of Reagan’s… FDR’s physical limitations… Biden probably needed it less than most, at least until that debate night. What do we think is going on with Fetterman right now?

It’s axiomatic that the victim of advancing cognitive problems is least likely to recognize his own impairment. Others have to bring it to his attention, and that has to be intervention- style, by those closest to him, whom he trusts and respects the most. Opposition critiques mean nothing, all his defenses are up.

Unfortunately, Trump is surrounded by sycophants. I don’t expect that to change, do you?
