Robert Reich enumerates the many reasons the media should be paying attention to Trump's health, notably his mental health, and wonders why the media are refusing to focus on that significant topic — when they were obsessed with it in Biden's case.

"Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it."

Bump is pointing to a 487-word post by Trump that you'll see when you click the link to Bump's post.

Evan Hurst parses Trump's bonkers post about his mental health with satirical line-by-line rejoinders.
"Trump is clearly unwell - Not only was Trump’s performance in Pennsylvania last night unhinged and wild, the madman in chief posted this last night." And then Simon Rosenberg points to Trump's post discussed by Philip Bump and Evan Hurst in /2 and /3 above.

“President Bonkers” Hmmm. I like that. If I’m ever driven to refer to President Bonkers in a post, “President Bonkers” it is.
The Founding Fathers had it easy. King Bonkers was an ocean away…<sigh>
