Let's unpack the dogshit that Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson unpacked.
First, nowhere in their first BIG SCOOP do they consider that one of America's most consequential presidents used a wheelchair -- and hid that fact -- for 12 years of the presidency.
Then remember this book sells MENTAL decline.

He did not prevent an open primary. Anyone was free to primary him & two people did.
In the sense that there's always an open primary. However, in deference to Biden, no serious candidate challenged him and the DNC didn't hold debates.
Rightly so, Democrats wanted to unite against Trump, but Biden hide the fact that he wasn't up to it.
So what we get from this excerpt is:
1) These assholes replaced hypothetical FUTURE accommodations for physical decline with mental decline
2) The single solitary piece of proof of mental decline rests on Alex Thompson's proven inability to read, which seems like it proves HIS OWN mental decline.
Everyone saw Biden "debate". Facts are he hid from the press, didn't understand the power of social media and prevented an open primary (both before and after he dropped out) He pressured Kamala to mirror his unpopular positions rather than distance herself from him. Americans are right to be upset.
Finally had lunch with
@pkrugman.bsky.social after doing two interviews with him for his newsletter. It was a great time and I look forward to doing more with him in the future!
French Roast?
