Concha noted that while Trump, who will turn 80 in june next year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harvard-makes-additional-troubling-findings-as-it-digs-into-presidents-past-report\/\" title=\"Harvard uncovers more concerning details about ...&#039;s past: Report\">faces significant scrutiny<\/a> about his age and cognitive fitness during his first year back in office, Biden did not encounter similar national concern until late June 2024, despite showing some cognitive lapses earlier. The Biden management previously dismissed age-related concerns as &#8220;cheapfakes,&#8221; and some reports even praised Biden&#8217;s private meeting performance. Concha argued that Trump&#8217;s productivity and stamina during his first 10 months are impressive, countering claims about his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >age-related decline<\/a>. Trump criticized the New York Times for publishing what he called a &#8220;hit piece&#8221; on his age, affirming that he recently passed thorough physical and cognitive exams. Additionally, Trump promoted his record on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-faces-an-absolutely-brutal-september-filled-with-high-stakes-deadlines\/\" title=\"Congress Faces An Absolutely Brutal September Filled With High-Stakes Deadlines\">lowering drug prices<\/a> and expressed confidence in GOP success in upcoming midterm elections if their achievements are effectively communicated.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden&rsquo;s and Trump&rsquo;s age concerns &lsquo;night and day&rsquo;: Joe Concha<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2415494\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner&rsquo;s <\/em>Joe Concha said the media&rsquo;s coverage of President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s age differs drastically from the &ldquo;Biden era,&rdquo; saying the president&rsquo;s first 10 months back in office is contrary to the age concerns some have.<\/p>\n<p>Trump will be turning 80 on June 14 next year, the same age former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\">Joe Biden<\/a> turned in his second year in office.
