Just a thought

Sam Smith - Joe Biden has gotten most of the media coverage of his age and questions about it. In fact, he is only three years older than Donald Trump and there is no evidence of anything horrific happening during those 36 months. In fact, there are far more examples of strange behavior and talk by Trump in recent time than there is of Biden. Why does the media not suggest Trump drop out of the race?
