As President Trump appears to be the embodiment of MAGA and the Republicans in general, the blue force constantly attempts to soil him on both foreign and domestic fronts. Leveraging European media to push baseless attacks on his age and mental health, hoping to erode his influence and boost their own campaigns. This time, the assault comes from Politico, a European outlet that is labelled leftist—even by insiders who have bailed on it over bias concerns. Fico himself swiftly debunked it on X, blasting Politico for “spreading lies” and inventing details about a meeting assessment he never made. This anger masquerades as journalism, aiming to depict Trump as a befuddled old man clueless about his role.
