He’s been on the campaign trail daily in addition to his own job responsibilities and has been fairly consistently speaking for hours in a coherent manner. He’s certainly older but these gaffes that people are pointing to as signs of senility has been something he has been doing for decades. Even Bernie Sanders agrees:

“Look, I saw that debate. It was a terrible performance. No one denies that. But I think too much in America, we look at politics as entertainment, as a contest, trying to judge somebody on their rhetorical abilities. That's not really what politics is or should be about. He had a bad night. The truth is, he makes gaffs all the time. He always has. He's not a particularly great speaker. But what politics is supposed to be about, and what we should be voting up in an election is what is this candidate going to do for me and my family?”

“It is true that in my view, Biden has been the strongest president for working class people that we have seen in the modern history of this country.“

“He is cognitively up to it. You know, he is 80 years of age, and that is the reality. No one is hiding that. But do I think he is cognitively capable of leading this country for the next four years? I do. And I would just remind people that being a president is very different than being, you know, a debater or on the campaign trail. Focus on what he has done, focus on what he is trying to do for the next four years, and I think the choice is pretty clear.”

Bernie is weakest leader ive ever seen in my life, he wont say the truth if it means he has to criticize Biden. This doesnt mean I dont like Bernie, im a big Bernie supporter.

Anyone who doesn't know that by now was voting for Trump anyway.

So your saying Biden shouldnt even criticize Trump in the debate because we all know how bad Trump is?

i don't understand your point. Biden's and Trump's performances in the debate were both one-offs in the sense that they have only debated once. Biden's performance raiaed concerns about senility. Trump lied his way through. Neither man was committing his first or last offence. Why are you making a distinction between the two ? You aeem to be suggesting that Trump's performance can be treated as a one-off but Biden's cannot ? 

The public viewed Biden as senile during the debate, and Trump as a liar, so CNN covered that for one day.

After the debate, Biden made multiple appearances where the public continues to see him as senile, so CNN continued to talk about it.

While Trump has been completely quiet after the debate, and hasnt been saying anything, so there is nothing to talk about Trump when it comes to his lies.

Its that simple, if you still dont understand what im saying, I dont know how much more I can explain it.

Thanks. I understand your point now. You are talking about the debate and events after the debate only, not before.

Where was Trump at when his ear got pierced? What was he doing? He held was out and about engaging with the public and definitely not quiet. Have you seen his social media posts since the debate and after the shooting?

Yeah im just trying to explain why CNN is covering Biden issues since the debate. Alot are accusing CNN of focusing on Biden and leaving Trump to lie when thats not true. I hate CNN I dont want to defend them, but I dont think they are focusing on Biden.

Quiet doesnt mean hes literally not speaking, it means hes not saying anything controversial. Its obviously a tactic hes using for the moment.

Didn’t he criticize him multiple times? I’m talking about realtime fact-checking, which Trump makes very difficult.
