The cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden started years ago, as revealed in the book “Original Sin.” The authors of the book, in a recent interview, revealed more about this to analyst Stephen A. Smith.
In a recent episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Jake Tapper, co-author of “Original Sin,” detailed the timeline of the alleged cognitive decline of former president Jake Tapper.
“I think a lot of people on the right feel understandably, hey, we were aware of this years ago and you didn’t cover it,” Tapper said. “You belittled it and that’s not and now you want plaudits for coming forward after Joe Biden’s already out of office. And I completely understand that argument. I think some of it is specific to me, mainly because of one interview I did with Laura Trump the like a few weeks before the 2020 election.”
“And all I can say about that is that our reporting suggested that the cognitive decline started years ago: 2015, 2017,” he went on. “We point out specific moments, 2019. On the campaign trail, he can’t come up with the name of his closest, longest serving aide, Mike Donilon. Um, I did not see that. I saw him aging. I saw him fumbling. I did not see cognitive decline in October 2020. Laura Trump did.”
“Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson” is a non-fiction book that examines the alleged cover-up surrounding Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline during his presidency and reelection campaign. The book argues that Biden’s inner circle worked to conceal his deteriorating health, limiting his public appearances and interactions, particularly in 2023 and 2024, leading up to the 2024 presidential election
Donald Trump’s “Stage 9” Remark Sparks Confusion Over Joe Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis
Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis has drawn attention, but a comment from Donald Trump has added an unexpected twist to the conversation. During a press briefing, Trump mistakenly referred to Biden’s condition as “stage 9” cancer, a classification that does not exist in medical terminology.
His remark raised eyebrows, as prostate cancer is typically categorized up to stage 4, with a Gleason score indicating its aggressiveness. Biden’s cancer was confirmed as stage 4 with a Gleason score of 9, meaning it is highly advanced and fast-spreading.
Trump’s misstatement has inadvertently shifted focus from Biden’s health to broader concerns about political accountability and public trust in leadership. Regardless of differing perspectives, Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis remains a significant topic in discussions about governance and medical disclosure.
