As 2024 wraps up and we inch closer to another round of political theatrics, President-elect Donald Trump decided to serve up a viral holiday treat—a video compilation aimed squarely at Democrats. And what better way to set the mood than by pairing their over-the-top defenses of President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities with the cheery Wii theme music? Nothing says “serious political discourse” like nostalgic gaming vibes.
The nearly three-minute video starts with White House mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre looking gobsmacked at the mere suggestion that Biden’s mental sharpness is in question.

“Don, you’re asking me this question. Oh my gosh! He’s the president of the United States! I can’t even keep up with him,” Jean-Pierre exclaims in a clip, as reported by the New York Post. Aww, Karine, bless your heart.

The lineup of Democratic heavyweights doesn’t stop there. The video rolls on with glowing testimonials from the likes of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Senator Bernie Sanders (because of course), and the ever-persistent former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Each one is just brimming with confidence in Biden’s cognitive prowess. It’s almost like a sales pitch—but instead of selling a product, they’re selling the idea that Biden’s got this.
But wait—plot twist! As their reassurances play out, the video neatly contrasts them with some inconvenient data: a whopping 68% of Americans apparently think Biden is “too old” for another term. Yikes. Not a great Yelp review.
Even First Lady Jill Biden steps into the ring, showing up on The View to passionately defend her husband. “You’re gonna see how smart he is, and the experience he has,” she insists. She also doubles down with, “He’s wise, he has wisdom, he has experience.” Well, if wisdom comes with age, Biden’s practically a modern-day Yoda.
The cameo list doesn’t end there. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Reps. Jamie Raskin, and Jim Clyburn all make appearances, offering their two cents about Biden’s mental agility. The video’s ironic brilliance lies in how these clips collectively hammer home a single theme: public reassurances from Democrats versus the stark reality of public opinion.
And just when you think the video can’t get spicier, Trump rolls out the pièce de résistance—a fiery critique from CBS News veteran Jan Crawford. Crawford didn’t hold back, calling out the media for essentially running PR for Biden, despite what she describes as “clear signs” of his mental decline.
She points to a Wall Street Journal report that exposed a long-standing strategy by White House staff to manage Biden’s public image. According to the WSJ, staffers formed a “tight circle” around the 82-year-old president to, let’s say, carefully curate his moments. This approach involved limiting public interactions and ensuring Biden didn’t get too much… unfiltered airtime. Because nothing screams confidence like over-managing someone’s schedule.
Crawford argues that this kid-glove treatment has kept Americans in the dark about Biden’s ability to serve another term. She even suggests that, had the media been more critical, the Democrats might’ve gotten a primary challenger—and spared the country the idea of Kamala Harris as a backup plan.
Naturally, the internet wasted no time weighing in. Social media erupted with users calling the defense of Biden’s cognitive health “the biggest lie of the year.” Harsh. Critics also went after the Democrats featured in the video, accusing them of downplaying the situation and misleading millions of voters.
So, what do we take away from all this? Whether you love Trump, loathe him, or just enjoy political theater, one thing’s clear: 2024 is going to be a wild ride. And judging by this video, Trump’s already got his popcorn ready.
