The latest debate saw a predictable yet amusing new tactic from the Democrats: the attempt to “Bidenize” Donald Trump. In a strategy designed to cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity, leftist media outlets ramped up their coverage of his speech patterns and proposed policies. They claimed Trump is “incoherent” and “rambling,” with a noticeable cognitive decline that has even the most devoted Trump supporters raising an eyebrow. Ironically, in an era rich with dramatic whining from the left, they now accuse some media factions of “covering for Trump” and his supposed mental mishaps.
This notion, termed “sanewashing,” highlights how the left is scrambling to label Trump as the same type of bumbling fool they believe Biden to be—evidently hoping to leverage any slip-up by Trump into a larger narrative that demonizes the man’s competency. One purveyor of such tactics suggested that the media’s failure to protect Trump “as he truly is” has led to a form of public insanity. But let’s be real: the only thing more absurd than this claim is the idea that the average American is unwittingly consuming a steady diet of “Trump’s rants” instead of the crooked media’s spin on them.

When Trump flubbed an answer about funding child care during the debate, the leftist pundits were undoubtedly salivating over the chance to seize upon this perceived misstep. His attempt to discuss the importance of child care quickly turned into a verbal mishmash. While his critics will argue that this shows some deep-seated issue, the reality is that Trump is known for his unfiltered speeches—something that has been his hallmark since his campaign began. The difference between Trump’s propensity for word tsunamis and Kamala Harris’ stream-of-consciousness word salads is stark: one is genuine, while the other often feels more like a word scramble at the local diner.
Even more troubling for the left, however, is that while they fixate on Trump’s flubs, they fail to grasp their own candidate’s track record. Here comes the spin about Trump needing to step down because he allegedly mirrors Biden’s mental health issues. The irony would be staggering if Democrats weren’t focusing so fervently on misdirection. Meanwhile, the most recent floundering moment from Harris during a debate does little to fortify their position—expect the ‘Bidenization’ of Trump to rear its ugly head, especially if she stumbles along the way.
All in all, attempting to shove Trump into the mold of Biden, through any missteps or awkward moments, shows just how desperate the radical left is to enclose their opponent in a box of incompetence, particularly as their own candidates flounder through debates. This CNN-style deflection lives on, driven home by a media apparatus eager to demonize any hint of miscommunication while sidelining the genuine cognitive declines exhibited by their own chosen leader. Buckle up; the name-calling and finger-pointing from the left show no signs of stopping anytime soon.
