President Trump’s son, backed by new polling and comments from former President Barack Obama’s White House doctor, is raising new concerns about Democrat Joe Biden’s mental capacity and health and suggesting that he will be controlled by liberal puppet masters if elected.
In an interview and in his new book, Liberal Privilege: Joe Biden and the Democrats’ Defense of the Indefensible, he charged that the media is in cahoots with the campaign, eager for a liberal to replace the president.

“The media loves Joe Biden because they know that Kamala Harris will be in charge and she is left of [Sen.] Bernie [Sanders],” said Trump Jr, whose self-published book is released Tuesday.
“The media loves him because they can sell him as a moderate,” he added.
Trump’s new book, selling on his website, DonJr.com, is a critical look at Biden’s political and legislative record and review of his life on the public stage.
It comes on the heels of Trump Jr.’s best seller, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.
In the new book, Trump Jr. quotes Obama’s White House doctor, retired Navy Rear Adm. Ronnie Jackson, questioning the mental capacity of Biden.
“The best way I can describe him every time I see him is that he’s just lost,” said Dr. Jackson in the book. “I won’t make any particular diagnosis about dementia. … But what I will say is that something is not right,” added Jackson, who recently won a House GOP primary in Texas.
A new poll provided to Secrets showed anew that many voters agree.
The survey for Heritage Action For America said that 47%, 41% “strongly,” agree that “Biden suffers from some level of diminished mental capacity and because of this they fear that if he is elected president his administration will be staffed with the very liberal socialists given to him by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Democratic National Committee.” Some 45% disagreed.
In the interview, Trump Jr. said that the media and public should not shrug off Biden’s verbal bumbles as something funny and unimportant.
“It’d be a joke if this was a grandfather, you’d say, ‘Fine, he’s forgetful.’ This is a guy that’s a contender to hold the nuclear football. That should scare us as Americans,” said Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. also poured over Trump’s legislative history and said Biden has no strong pattern. “He’s whatever he needs to be to get to that next thing so that his family can profit off his next taxpayer-funded office. No one has flip-flopped more in history. And no one talks about it,” he said.
Trump Jr. began working on the book during the early days of the coronavirus shutdown.
“I had no intention of even writing another book. But what happened was the lockdown. I couldn’t go to work, you couldn’t do anything, so I’m sitting at home, and I’m saying, ‘Man, it’s amazing. Joe Biden’s been sitting in Washington, D.C., for half a century as an elected official, and they are pretending like it’s some sort of blank slate. He’s never done anything. I’m saying, there has to be more, so I literally started looking, and I started seeing all of these things, I’m like, man, you know, I think the American people would like to see that,” he said.
“I realized very quickly that the media has literally just abdicated their responsibility to look into candidates on the Left,” he added.
“I saw so much, I got so fed up, I literally hired researchers. We have to do this. We have to do this perfectly,” he said.
