Kara Swisher on Biden’s Gaffes: ‘Trump Is Literally Just as Bad, He Just Screams More Enthusiastically’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SWISHER: “He’s got to be the one to do it. You can’t just make someone who has gotten to this level, president of the United States, to do it. He’s got to be persuaded by the people around him. The second thing is, Trump is literally just as bad. He just screams more enthusiastically. So he’s an older person who seems more vibrant, but does almost similar things all the time, forgetting people, forgetting names, tripping over things. This is something Biden has done for a long time, by the way.”

Stephens: “They have to old him to different standards.”

SWISHER: “That’s correct, they don’t do that because he’s the old man shaking his fist on the lawn.”

Wallace: “Forgive me, it’s not the same.”

SWISHER: “Because he’s president?”

Wallace: “No, it’s not the same because he makes more mistakes and he seems more compromised.”

SWISHER: “Than Trump?”

Wallace: “Yes.”

SWISHER: “No.”

Wallace: “I’m not talking issues, I’m talking mental acuity. Just this week he talked about someone who died in 1996 and recent dealings with the chancellor of Germany from 1998.

SWISHER: And Trump thought Nikki Haley was Nancy Pelosi. There’s an equal amount with Trump, he’s enthusiastic and seems more vibrant. They’re both too old.”

Stephens: “I don’t think we have an argument here. But the question is how it’s perceived by a majority of Americans. And Trump seems in all of his mania vigorous, he does.”

SWISHER:” Vigorous person.”

Stephens: “That’s just a reality that you see reflected in polls, much more serious doubts about Biden’s ability to live out his term. He’s going to be an 82-year-old incumbent, from an actuarial point of view, the chances that he will not live to see the end of the second term is real. And people should address this.”

SALAM: “And also in charge. I think that’s another element.”
