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

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. ....
