What A Loser, Scarborough Makes Biden's Health Check About Trump
It's no secret that the bias liberal media have been actively trying to defend and promote President Joe Biden, and their latest attempt is nothing short of pathetic.
On Friday's episode of Morning Joe, Elise Jordan of MSNBC made an outrageous claim, suggesting that former President Donald Trump could get "really bad dementia" like his father.
It's a desperate attempt to discredit Trump's health and further perpetuate the idea that he is not fit for office. But this type of rhetoric is not only unprofessional but also dangerous, as it only serves to fuel the divide between Republicans and Democrats.
During the show, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were cheerfully boosting Biden's "clean bill of health" from his doctor after his annual medical exam.
The so-called conversation then turned to the health of Donald Trump and his White House doctor, Ronny Jackson. Jackson had previously said that Trump's good health was due to his "genetics," to which John Heilemann defended Jackson's claim.
That's when Jordan interjected with: "Didn't Fred Trump [Donald's father] have really bad dementia at the end, though?" It's clear that Jordan's comment was a way to defend Joe Biden and discredit Trump's health, without any evidence to back it up.
It's time to leave the unfounded speculation and personal attacks behind and start focusing on the policies that will benefit all Americans. As the Trump administration continues to advance pro-GOP policies, it's important to remember that baseless claims only serve to fuel the divide between Republicans and Democrats.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: President Biden received a clean bill of health yesterday, following a routine physical exam at Walter Reid national military medical center in Maryland. In a memo, Biden's personal physician wrote that he, quote, remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency. The medical assessment noted that Biden had a small lesion removed from his chest during a dermatology consultation. It was sent off for a biopsy, and the results are still pending.
We tell you all of this so the we can, I don't know, take a trip down memory lane.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Oh, this will be fun.
MIKA: Yeah! Why not, right? It's always good.
SCARBOROUGH: Mm-hmm.
MIKA: Here's Dr. Ronny Jackson after Donald Trump's physical, if that's what you want to call it, when he was president in 2018.
REPORTER: Explain how a guy who eat McDonald's and all the Diet Cokes and never exercises is in as good a shape as you say he is in.
RONNY JACKSON: It's called genetics. I don't know.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, called genetics. He went on to say, John Heilemann, that Trump had such great genes, that if he didn't eat badly, he'd live until he was 200 years of age.
MIKA: Did he mean "dad jeans?"
SCARBOROUGH: I guess, I guess the shock of it is that, that, actually, people in the Obama administration actually vouched for this guy for 15 minutes before he started doing this. But again, just, the lies started rolling off of his tongue. And I guess they've continued over the past couple years.
JOHN HEILEMANN: I mean, look, I would say, just to stand up for, for the good doctor here, on one point. I mean, you know, if you think about Trump's diet over the course of his life, you think about Trump's -- the way he's taken care of his body, if you can use those words, "taking care" and "his body" in the same sentence.
You think about the stress of the presidency, you think about his sleeping patterns, you think about all the things we know. I mean, the fact that the guy made it out of four years of the presidency alive is an amazing thing. Like, with that -- if I had that diet, that lack of exercise and those sleeping habits, I'd be dead now, you know?
There is, there is something to the notion that he does have some kind of extraordinary genes. It is the case that the Trump men, historically, in his family, have, have lived to be, have lived to ripe old ages in general. So, I don't want to give too much credit to Dr. Jackson. Obviously, you know, the dude is a whack job on a lot of levels, but there is something kind of amazing about Donald Trump, that he's still out there. That he's still erect. That he's still upright. It's like an incredible thing.
ELISE JORDAN: Didn't Fred Trump have really bad dementia at the end, though?
MIKA: Uhh.
JONATHAN LEMIRE: Yeah, both of his parents lived to be in their 90s.
HEILEMANN: Yes.
MIKA: Okay.
