*UPDATE* TAPPER-zoidian, re: "Tapper Rejects ... White House Reason for (Dear Leader's) Bruises" - finally?

Last edited Mon Dec 15, 2025, 10:14 PM - Edit history (1)

In his defense against my attack, I have zero idea whether the topic of Dear Leader's health has had any kind of interest, one way or the other, for TAPPER since the only glimpses I have ever bestowed on him have been in years past when he was chummying up to COLBERT. In those late night appearances he was playing it both ways, respected/objective journalist while clearly wanting acceptance from Liberal audiences.

So, since he found book-length interest and whatever cash return out of President BIDEN's supposed health status, is he hot on the trail of Volume 2 regarding Presidential health? After all, he surely knows that Dear Leader's health will be a bigger cash cow. There's more where this comes from, such as President WILSON's wife's power after his stroke for Volume 3 - the way Bill O'LOOFAH has reaped millions from a franchise of somebody-or-other historical personage being *killed*.

Jake Tapper Rejects White House Reason For Trump's Bruises: 'There Is Something Going On'

.... Tapper discussed the matter with CNN chief political analyst David Axelrod and ex-Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that Trump wears the bandages as a result of “constantly shaking hands.” ....

Tapper reminded his guests that Trump is an open germaphobe who has publicly admitted that he doesn’t like shaking hands and asked them how much confidence they have in the official hand-shaking explanation about his bandages. ....

Tapper and Axelrod both mentioned that the American people have never seen “bruising like this” on the hands of any other U.S. president, so there’s a warranted reason to pursue a convincing answer. ....

Oh, ("We" ) /he "Didn't Ask ... About Biden" - so he took it out (later) in a cash-cow book ... later. Hmmm, couldn't be "now" because the Dear Leader's condition and coverup are a much bigger deal and and the prospective Volume 2 to come will be *way* bigger cash-ola-wise? So...contract hasn't been closed yet... Disclaimer: all speculation! here!1 - oh, and he's covering Dear Leader's condition now because, as the refrain goes, it's all BIDEN's fault!

Jake Tapper Says He’s Covering Trump’s Health ‘All the Time’ Now Because He ‘Didn’t Ask as Many Questions as We Should Have’ About Biden

.... I mean, we cover it all the time on my show, all the time, and I think that is to a large degree because we saw what happened with Biden, and while we covered it, we didn’t cover it maybe– we didn’t ask as many questions as we should have at the time, and I think it is a legitimate question for any president of any age, but particularly anybody who is like in range of being an octogenarian, right? We cover it all the time.

Now, I didn’t write a book about Joe Biden’s missteps. Alex and I wrote a book about an unprecedented event happening, which was Joe Biden having such a horrible performance at a presidential debate where his only job was to convince people he was up to the task of being president for another four years. His performance being so bad that people thought, “Oh my God, should he drop out of the race.'”
....

He concluded, “In terms of what we cover about Trump, I mean, I literally cover it all the time. Like literally yesterday, I covered that crazy Truth Social rant, when he was mad at the New York Times for covering his agin,g and he called it sedition or treasonous.”
