Jake Tapper Says He’s Now Closely Covering Trump’s Health After Not Pressing Biden Enough

Jake Tapper increased scrutiny of Trump’s health citing lessons from past limited coverage of Biden’s cognitive decline, highlighting visible bruises, MRI scans, and public lapses.

  • On Thursday, December 11, CNN anchor Jake Tapper said he now covers President Donald Trump's health all the time on The Lead with Jake Tapper.
  • Because he co-wrote a book about former President Joe Biden's debate collapse, Tapper says media missed asking enough questions about Biden's decline, prompting closer scrutiny now.
  • Visible signs include a Dec. 9 appearance with a band-aid and makeup covering bruises, plus an October MRI at Walter Reed Medical Center and two physicals in six months.
  • Reporters pressed White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on bruising and bandages, while Alyssa Farah Griffin said these questions are 'going to continue to dog' Trump as the public needs more clarity.
  • With Trump nearing 80 next June, observers say months of public cognitive lapses keep scrutiny of President Donald Trump's health alive.
