    President Ford was well-known for being clumsy, but was he? That's just what you saw on TV, repeated over and over.

    President Clinton wasn't thought to be clumsy, but how would you know? The media liked him.

    It's the same with Trump and Biden. You only see what they want you to see. You probably didn't see Trump walking off-road to reach an event, jumping over obstacles at the side of a highway. He did that, with no assistance from the Secret Service. You probably didn't see Hillary Clinton shoved into a van like a side of beef, her body stiff and unresponsive due to some sort of neurological issue. You probably didn't see her spasming out, with weirdly flopping head and gaping mouth. That happened too.

    If the media followed you around all day, what story could they tell? With the right editing: drunk, or athletic, or clumsy, or incoherent, or presidential, or sleazy, or foolish... or whatever.
