Jake Tapper: We've Been Too Polite In Dealing With Trump. Trump Isn't Being "Transparent With His Health Records" and It's Time We Pressed Him On That.

You've got to be kidding me. Four years of insisting that Biden's inability to speak and attempts to Conjure Spirits were just the residue of a "childhood stutter," but by golly, we're gonna correct that error by getting even nastier with Trump!

NEW: Book salesman Jake Tapper says he was simply "too polite" in the past, which is why he missed President Biden's very public mental decline.

The grifter also accused *Trump* of not being transparent.

Alex Thompson, Fake Jake's coauthor, made some news Wednesday night. He said that a Biden aide had pushed back against him, saying the media deserves every bit of the blame Biden staffers do. This unnamed staffer said that they were frequently surprised at how easily they could get the left-wing media to repeat their obvious, ludicrous lies about Biden's mental fitness.

So he wants to know -- as do we all -- who is really to blame here? You expect a political campaign staff to lie.

But the media claims to be Truth Incarnate, and routinely pressures the government and social media monopolies to censor people for speaking what the media claims is "misinformation."

But of course, they're the worst peddlers of lies of all.

Earlier in the week, I mentioned Biden cabinet officials complaining that all of their "cabinet meetings" were fake, with each of them given a scripted "question" for Biden which he would answer with an equally-scripted "answer."

I didn't cite my source there because I couldn't find it. But here it is.

Tapper and Thompson also reported Biden increasingly relied on teleprompters and note cards even for private discussions like Cabinet meetings.
"Before these meetings, White House staff called the various departments and agencies to figure out what they were going to ask the president so that answers could be prepared. The conversations were largely scripted, even after the press had left the room," the authors reported.
"Some Cabinet secretaries felt that, in fact, Biden relied on the cards more heavily when reporters were absent," the book states.
Tapper and Thompson spoke to four Cabinet secretaries anonymously to allow them to be candid without fear of retribution.
"The Cabinet meetings were terrible and at times uncomfortable -- and they were from the beginning," one secretary told them. "I don't recall a great Cabinet meeting in terms of his presence. They were so scripted."
Another secretary said they hated "the scripts."
But the authors said that some aides argued that Cabinet meetings were always stiff and time-consuming and that Biden was more inquisitive in smaller meetings. And they weren't too worried about his frequent use of note cards or a poor speech from time to time.
The authors report that the campaign held a staged town hall last April in a high school gym to film a commercial. It was made to appear that Biden was taking questions off the cuff, but the event was closed to reporters and the campaign was given questions in advance.
When a group would ask Biden to record a five-minute address for keynoting an event, the White House usually responded that the video would be one to two minutes, Tapper and Thompson report. But Biden still struggled with that.
"To compensate for that, aides filmed Biden with two cameras instead of one. If Biden messed up, the edit was less obvious with a jump cut," they reported. "Other politicians use jump-cuts, but Biden aides noted to themselves how much more often they had to use them for the president."

From Jamie Kirchick's review of all three
"Now It Can be Told" books:

In December 2019, while Biden was vying for his party's presidential nomination and four months before he vaguely promised to be a "bridge" to a new "generation of leaders," four Biden advisers told POLITICO that it was virtually inconceivable he would run for reelection in 2024. Biden's decline was apparent to his inner circle before the 2020 Democratic Convention, in which, given the pandemic, his participation would consist mostly of pre-taped videos. Even this undemanding medium proved onerous for the then 77-year-old, whose performance speaking virtually with real Americans was, according to two aides, "horrible" as Biden "couldn't follow the conversation at all." Despite being edited by some of the best people in the business, little of the material was usable.
The morbid observation by some Biden aides that the pandemic, while terrible for the world, was an enormous boon for their campaign, was entirely accurate. With Biden granted a plausible excuse to avoid active campaigning, the American people were shielded from the physical and mental regression that would become increasingly apparent as the country opened up. And once he entered the White House, it was visible to anyone who saw him up close. "The cabinet meetings were terrible and at times uncomfortable -- and they were from the beginning," a cabinet secretary told Tapper and Thompson, one of four to speak anonymously with the authors. In October 2021, when Biden addressed the Democratic House caucus in an effort to win their support for an infrastructure package, one member described his 30-minute speech as "incomprehensible." According to Allen and Parnes, Vice President Kamala Harris' communications director eventually drew up a spreadsheet listing judges across the country who could administer her the oath of office in the event Biden died.
According to all three accounts, 2023 was the year Biden's deterioration became undeniable. It was also the year he formally announced his decision to seek reelection, which brought his worrisome condition increasingly into the open. A television ad in which Biden would answer pre-screened questions from a handpicked audience had to be scrapped because none of the footage was usable. At small, intimate events with donors, Biden would avail himself of teleprompters, stop randomly in the middle of his speech and shake hands, and just as randomly start speaking again. That June, following an interview on MSNBC, Biden got up from the desk and wandered off the set as the cameras rolled. The following month at a White House picnic, Biden didn't recognize Congressman Eric Swalwell, one of his opponents for the nomination. (To be fair to Biden, not recognizing Eric Swalwell is a point in his favor.)

The "Politburo" began sending White House household staff early so they couldn't see Biden -- and so they couldn't then report to the outside world that he was essentially a vegetable.

Befitting an inner circle dubbed the "Politburo," the Biden ascendancy in many ways resembled the Soviet Union in the early 1980s when three successive geriatric leaders died within as many years. The pathetic sight of Barack Obama fetching a spaced out Biden from the edge of the stage at a Hollywood fundraiser and leading him off into the wings recalls the videotaped spectacle of an enfeebled Konstantin Chernenko "voting" in a hospital room shoddily refashioned as a polling place. In one of the more disturbing revelations from Original Sin, White House residence aides were told that they no longer needed to staff the elevator and could leave work early because the proletarian Bidens didn't like being waited on. The real motive, the authors suggest, was to expand a privacy buffer around the president and limit his exposure to household staff -- the kind of move one can imagine in the palace of an aging dictator.

He names names in the article. Read it for the details. I'm not super-interested in that because I doubt those people have much of a future in politics. (Well, except for Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer and Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders...)

What I am interested in is the unindicted co-conspirators in the media:

Revealingly, none of these books are interested in the essential role that the media played in the cover-up. Given how much the press valorizes itself for defending democracy, its dereliction of duty regarding Biden's infirmities is a massive failure. To be sure, the Biden White House didn't make things easy for reporters; it's no coincidence that the two journalists granted the most access to Biden -- Evan Osnos of the New Yorker and Franklin Foer of the Atlantic -- overlooked the biggest story of his presidency. But lack of access is no excuse. When POLITICO's Ben Schreckinger produced a deeply reported, unvarnished book about the Biden family's half-century rise to power in 2021, the mainstream media ignored it. With the exception of Thompson, one of the handful of journalists who consistently reported on Biden's fitness and who bears the scars of vicious White House attacks on his character to prove it, most of the media declined to investigate Biden's disposition because it interfered with a higher priority: saving the country from Donald Trump.

I saw someone write that Schreckinger's book was almost entirely embargoed by Politico, the very "news" outlet he worked for.

Some crimes are too great for the Democracy Dies in Darkness media to cover.

Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) makes this exact argument for going after Nixon after treating JFK so well in The Post.

The left sees this argument, and has for a while, as journalistic ideal. It's actually just justification for rank partisanship.

Also...have CNN's ratings improved recently, or are they still about 50% lower than they were pre-election?

This is reshuffling deck chairs on the Titanic after the tail end has broken off.

Wasn't it always gonna go this way? They already tried the prototype version when Biden dropped out and literally within 24 hours the NPC meme was "Trump is too old for another term, vote Kamala instead!"

They spend 4+ years defending Biden against criticisms of his age and obvious decline. He's a Super-Ager! He's in better shape than RBG in her prime! Then, literally immediately after get got rid of Biden, all of a sudden age was an important factor.

I watched the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix the other day, after seeing her on Rogan.

They have a "journalist" named Nick Pisa, who did a lot of the reporting at the time of the murder/trial. He's very slick looking, wears a slick suit... he got a LOT of the scoops, because he had an inside man in the prosecution.

In a way, he was as responsible for her being wrongly convicted as the Italian James Comey guy. And here he is, being interviewed for the documentary, talking about journalistic standards. Not revealing sources and all that.

Has no idea what a piece of shit he looks like... because of course, he is.

Imagine an FNM that is just slightly left of center but still establishment like FOXN. The Democrats would be a regional party.

Now imagine the media is full of truly independent journalists like O'Keefe? Hell, Trump would be running as the candidate for the leftwing party (after the Dems and Reps disappear) for the presidency and he's lose to the candidate of the party to the right of Attila the Hun (or whatever metaphor you want to use)

Now I see why Alex Thompson was signed onto this project. He's basically Jake Tapper's reporter-beard. Jake does all the talking on these duo interviews, with Alex largely silently sitting on the sidelines. The Tapper-Thompson package deal looks better than Tapper all by his lonesome.

107 "The morbid observation by some Biden aides that the pandemic, while terrible for the world, was an enormous boon for their campaign, was entirely accurate. With Biden granted a plausible excuse to avoid active campaigning, the American people were shielded from the physical and mental regression that would become increasingly apparent as the country opened up. And once he entered the White House, it was visible to anyone who saw him up close."

Ummm. That was the plan all along. Brix and Fauci put it into action by lying to Trump about everything. Remember they created the virus that they attacked the world with to get Trump out of office. It was all a deep state op. Masks to normalize the antifa types disguise to protect their identity. It was painfully obvious what was going on to those of us prone to look at things from several angles and not just buy the bullshit spewed on CNN or the view.

No journalist can ever hope to get there. There are way less demeaning ways to make a few million dollars. Or you could just accept a life with less money and retain your dignity, instead of being a rent boy for the Beltway maniacs.

Nobody expected a complete meltdown. And the people who were pushing him were going to lose their jobs anyway so YOLO.

229 Yea. I think the Biden gaggle's plan was to demand the debate, but set terms they didn't think Trump would agree to. Then when Trump balked, they would claim he was afraid to debate, etc etc etc. They didn't think the debate would happen.

They might have pulled it off. There were plenty of people on this site that said the terms were bullshit and Trump would say no. Remember that?

He takes a long time to get to a point and sometimes doesn’t get there, or we covered 12346 things between there and here. BUT, out of nowhere, he has zingers that are so great you wonder what just happened. Trump reminds me of a lot of CEOs, they don't understand why you aren’t just doing something because he said it and stared at you. He is a lot better about this now than he was before, but he really isn’t what you would consider a spectacular orator. This doesn’t mean he isn’t effective, the two things can be true.

And I think he knew she wouldn't which is why it's practically the only time he asked her a direct question. Made her look like the monster she really is.

291 They forgot to factor in that Kamala is an unloveable scrunt just like Hillary or Indian Princess Lez Warren. No amount of debate performance can offset "I hate this bitch."

293 Jake has no original thought. reddit trolls have beat him to the punch of now judging President Trump for his age.

Apples/Oranges or Dogs/Cats

Not the same, Jake. Compare and witness President Trump talking freely to the press, without set questions and giant cheat cards. Compare President Trump rattling off statistics and numbers of whatever the questions are and Stuttering Joe rambling about his imaginary legacy as an answer...which is, I suppose, better than his golden leg hairs and a rusty razor by Corn Pop.

Is this all the Dims have? Pit-E-Ful! LOL

294 The only two things I remember from the Kameltoe debate was eating the pets (with the photo of a Haitian carrying a couple of canadian geese ) and the question of whether Kameltoe's earrings were an ear piece

I personally was on the fence about whether those were ear pieces. I thought maybe 50/50 they were. But then within hours all the usual leftwing media hacks started screeching -- in unison using the same language -- that it was completely unpossible and insane to think that they were ear pieces.

I went to 80/20 that they were ear pieces.

Not just that Biden was superior in every way, a master in command of facts and logic, who would humiliate Trump as he deftly deflected his childish tantrums with parental-like wisdom, wit and humility, and--most of all--would completely destroy Trump by finally (someone finally!) calling him a rapist, liar, felon, cheat, etc. to his face.

But we KNEW Biden's condition and so did Trump. To me it was an obvious and easy win, even in advance. They had been hiding Biden and this forced him onto live TV. What's more theyhas been lying and saying Trump had dementia and Trump knew he could show their respective conditions against each other without a filter.

To me it was an obvious choice not an obvious loss like so many were crying and kvetching about.

But they juiced Biden up in speeches enough he sounded sort of normal, for Biden. I don’t think any of us expected the magnitude of train wreck that happened. We also were reeling from 2020 and knew Trump had to win or we were toast, it makes you a little worried about things.

I diagnose chronic constipation with the deep furrow. He spends a lot of time on the toilet. A whole lot, based on the deep wrinkles. Either power exploding in a rage fit or systems blocked with concrete. There is fury and farting and fuming...which requires spraying and more fuming stress due to the ozone thinning.

His long suffering wife just packs up and goes to their vacation home during these stinky times, which are all but ten days of the entire year.

Wait until his book does not sell, and all bets are off on his poor bathroom area and his stock in Charmin. At that point he should purchase one of those self-cleaning toilets from Paris, and hope he makes it out the door in time after the flush.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at May 23, 2025 01:45 PM (6PCLE)

328 I think:

Tapper's the middle man, the loyal Philly guy, warning the Bidens to keep their mouths shut because there's no protection once that crazy old man is dearly departed. He's also warning off others - keeping them at bay with their stories of different "perspectives" - to tamp down additional investigations into the former puppet government.

The Godfather:
"My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator."
"Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed."
"Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?"

And so, as always, Tapper turns against the PDT administration.

In a week or two, it's not a story. It never happened, but for your mind. Move on!
