MSNBC Floats Absurd Idea Donald Trump Isn’t in Charge, Pretends Biden Wasn’t a Trainwreck [WATCH]

MSNBC host Symone Sanders raised eyebrows this week after questioning who is actually “running the country” under President Donald Trump, despite having served in the administration of Joe Biden, whose cognitive fitness has been widely scrutinized, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

During a recent broadcast, Sanders suggested that the American public doesn’t know who is making decisions in the Trump White House.

“I have to ask: Who is actually making the decisions? Who is actually running the country?”

Sanders previously worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign and later served as a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris. She was also part of the Biden White House communications team.

“The bar is so low that we are just talking about the fact that—I just wonder: what if Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton were, like, ‘I need you to give me a TV show for my Presidential Daily Briefing’? I don’t know if it would be taken as callously as it’s being taken outside of this table.”

She continued, “The bar is so low. This man, the oldest man ever to—you want to talk about age, talk about Joe Biden? The oldest man ever to be president cannot bother himself with our nation’s secrets, with the intel.”

Critics pointed to Sanders’ own proximity to the Biden White House, where concerns about the president’s ability to manage day-to-day operations have persisted for years.

There is NO WAY she’s serious.

Biden, now out of office, faced repeated questions during his term about memory lapses, lack of press availability, and the growing role of unelected staff members in decision-making.

Sanders’ comments have sparked backlash online, with many accusing her of projecting criticism onto President Trump while ignoring the concerns that surrounded her former boss.
