'Drawing more attention': Trump's 'scathing' age defense is reportedly backfiring on him

Donald Trump's "scathing" Truth Social rant in defense of his age and physical capabilities just made his problems worse, according to an analyst.

Journalist and political analyst Hayes Brown appeared on MSNOW over the weekend, where he flagged a "chaotic and unprecedented" power play Democrats might be able to try. After that, he was asked about a recent New York Times piece about Trump and his aging.

Of Trump's defenses to the aging report, the host asked, "But you say all this does is prove the point. How so?"

He replied, "I think that if you are pushing 80 and unwilling to admit, yes, I am aging. Yes, I am slowing down. Yes, some things may take me longer, but I'm doing it the best I can, that I think, and just pretending it's not happening, that is a hit to your credibility."

Trump admin hoping to draw attention away from Epstein files release with ‘unusual’ ploy

Conservative commentator and journalist Curtis Houck threw a racially coded attack at former MSNBC host Joy Reid, who is Black, in response to controversial comments she made about MAGA supporters, Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

Appearing recently on the “I’ve Had It” podcast, Reid argued that Vance’s chances of leading the GOP ticket in 2028 were slim due to having an Indian wife, and suggested that Vance separating from his wife and marrying Charlie Kirk’s widow – rumors of which have circulated since their embrace at a Turning Point USA event – would be the “MAGA fairy tale” that could catapult him to the White House.

“I do think it's important that we don't paint too broad of a brush to label every Afghan who came in through this program – Operation Allies Welcome – with the crimes of one deranged individual, someone who had mental health issues and was evil,” Lippman said, appearing on Newsmax. “The vast majority of Afghans who come to this country, they actually love America.”
