OP-ED: If Biden rumors are true, why are there zero whistleblowers?
Dozens of former cabinet officials for Donald Trump say he's unfit to serve a second term -- the same can't be said of Joe Biden
Conservatives continue to insist that Joe Biden suffers from severe cognitive decline and is too old to serve as President, despite his long list of policy achievements.
Setting aside that Biden and Trump are roughly the same age, there are well-documented signs of Donald Trump exhibiting symptoms of gross dementia, as Dr. John Gartner explained in a recent interview with The David Pakman Show:
Moreover, multiple cabinet officials who served under Donald Trump have come forward to express their concerns about Trump’s fitness for office, whereas nobody affiliated with the Biden administration has come forward with similar concerns.
Here are some examples:
Mark Milley
Donald Trump suggested on Truth Social that Mark Milley, his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a traitor to the United States who should be put to death.
Milley responded by saying that “we don’t take an oath to a country. We don’t take an oath to a tribe. We don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.”
William Barr
William Barr, Donald Trump’s attorney general from February 14th, 2019 to December 23rd, 2020, remarked in a June, 2023 appearance on Face the Nation that Trump is “a consummate narcissist… He will always put his own interest and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest. There’s no question about it… He’s like a 9-year-old, a defiant 9-year-old kid, who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table, defying his parents to stop him from doing it.”
John Bolton
John Bolton, Donald Trump’s national security adviser from April 9th, 2018 to September 10th, 2019 characterized Trump as “stunningly uninformed,” adding that he hopes history “will remember him as a one-term president who didn’t plunge the country irretrievably into a downward spiral we can’t recall from. We can get over one term – I have absolute confidence, even if it’s not the miracle of a conservative Republican being elected in November. Two terms, I’m more troubled about.”
Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley, Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador from January 25th, 2017 to December 31st, 2018, said that Donald Trump “went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that happen again.”
Mike Pence
Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s own Vice President, said on Face the Nation that Donald Trump “asked me to put him over the Constitution and I chose the Constitution, and I always will.”
This is not an exhaustive list — dozens of other former Trump staffers have also come forward to say that the former President is unfit to serve a second term. Donald Trump’s rate of cabinet turnover stands at 92%, shattering historical records. By contrast, not a single person who has served in the Biden administration has come forward expressing concerns about his cognitive health or ability to execute a second term as President.
The next time Donald Trump questions Biden’s fitness for office, one should ask themselves why it is that nobody in Biden’s inner circle shares these concerns about Biden’s mental health, whereas dozens of people in Trump’s inner circle have publicly said that Trump is unfit for office. Even those who support Donald Trump must admit that he is a terrible judge of character, given that so many of his former staffers have turned against him. Trump has boasted that he only hires “top, top people” and would fill his administration “with only the best and most serious people.”
That being the case, we should listen to Trump’s former hires and heed their warning: let’s not re-elect him in 2024.
I’m sure that these people knew from the start that 45 was a complete failure at his job, yet NOW they tell us what a loser he is? General Milley couldn’t say anything because of his position, but the rest of these hypocrites can tell their story walkin.
On a related note, the Pod Save America hosts talked about how DC has an huge gossip/rumor mill and if Biden had issues someone (reporters/consultants/staff etc.) would have spoken at least anonymously - but there is nothing.
Not to mention that Bidens speeches and public appearances have been good to great, meanwhile trump shows dangerous signs of dementia and mental decay, and his “sane” moments are worse (calling opponents “vermin”, immigrants poisoning the blood and other remarks).
Every allegation is a confession with these people.
