Double Standards: Media Silence on Biden, Panic Over Trump
When President Joe Biden spent extended periods away from the public eye, the media rarely sounded alarms. In fact, Biden once went 43 days without a single public appearance, yet coverage framed it as routine rest or strategy rather than cause for concern. During long vacations that made up a notable portion of his presidency, there was little mainstream questioning of his health or ability to govern.
By contrast, when President Donald Trump took only a short break from the spotlight, speculation immediately surged. Some reports and online chatter went as far as suggesting he was dead, despite no credible evidence. Prominent Democrats seized on the rumors, with Representative Maxine Waters reviving her long-standing call to invoke the 25th Amendment, suggesting Trump was unfit for office.
This situation highlights a striking double standard. Biden’s extended absences were largely excused, while Trump’s short leave drew accusations of incapacity. The difference in treatment raises questions about bias in both political circles and media narratives.
Waters’ fixation on Trump reflects a deeper issue. For years she has been one of the loudest voices demanding his removal from office, using nearly every controversy as proof of unfitness. Opponents now suggest her repeated calls signal not measured governance but an obsession that borders on political dysfunction. Can we say TDS?
The irony is that Waters’ push for the 25th Amendment mirrors the very instability she accuses Trump of. Many now question whether her constant focus on Trump, long after his presidency, has distracted from her duty to serve constituents effectively. If fitness for office is to be evaluated, maybe Waters’ behavior should be just as closely examined as the political targets she attacks.
