President-elect Donald Trump has shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, releasing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.”
Trump shared the brutal supercut Monday, hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the oldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate.
The nearly three-minute video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity.
“Oh my gosh! He’s the president of the United States! I can’t even keep up with him,” exclaimed Jean-Pierre, one of many times she insisted the president was sharper than ever.

Everyone from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can be seen defending Biden’s mental abilities in the collection.
Several clips feature Democrats insisting Biden is “sharp” and “capable” while showing clips of data that revealed 68% of Americans felt he was “too old” to serve another term as president.
First lady Jill Biden also jumps to her husband’s defense in the compilation, telling the hosts of “The View,” “You’re gonna see how smart he is, and the experience he has.”
“I think his age is an asset,” the first lady says in a second clip. “He’s wise, he has wisdom, he has experience.”
A wide array of Democratic leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Jim Clyburn (D-SC), are also featured giving Biden praise.
Trump shared the video without comment.
However, the post came soon after Crawford’s scathing criticisms of Biden, which included mention of recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up the president’s mental decline over the past four years.
The explosive report says staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat to limit his in-person interactions.
“And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” Crawford said.
