This is a big reason why you saw more coverage of Biden's decline. It felt hidden. He didn't give interviews.
Trump is "accessible" so it feels like less of a story.

"He remains, by far and a way the most accessible president we've had...you call him and he's much more likely than any president to pick up the phone, to engage with you. Yes, we can make fun of him for falling asleep in a meeting but...he is letting reporters see him in action."

This bears repeating daily: We have been indoctrinated into believing that capitalism is inherently rational, when it is not. Homo economicus never existed.
There are a lot of reasons for the failure of this narrative when it runs up against reality, but I think a lot of it is that we’ve been indoctrinated into this notion that capitalism is somehow inherently rational, which it is not
