Katy Tur, host of the MS NOW program, recently sparked a heated debate when she claimed that President Donald Trump is doing "much more" than former President Joe Biden did. The assertion comes amid reports from the New York Times that suggest Trump's increasing fatigue with age and reduced ability to handle long days in office.
Tur made this statement during an interview on "The Daily Beast Podcast," where she pointed out that Trump continues to make himself visible, attend press conferences, and engage with the public despite his declining energy levels. In contrast, Biden has largely stepped back from these activities.
Tur's comments were met with a strong response from Trump, who called the New York Times report a "hit piece" and claimed that it was unfair to compare him to Biden in terms of his stamina and work ethic.
However, Tur argues that the discussion should be relative to Trump himself, rather than comparing him directly to Biden. She pointed out that while Biden's mental and cognitive decline ultimately led to him leaving the White House race, Trump is still very much engaged with the public, even if he doesn't have the same level of energy.
One notable example of Trump's continued engagement was his recent appearance at a Christmas party for journalists, where he struggled to be understood by attendees. In contrast, Tur recalled attending a similar event during Biden's administration and finding it difficult to understand what the former president was saying.
The New York Times report analyzed Trump's schedule and found that he typically appears between noon and 5 p.m., suggesting that his reduced energy levels are affecting his availability for public appearances.
While some have questioned whether Trump is actually doing more than Biden, Tur argues that the key difference lies in their approach to work. Unlike Biden, who largely stepped back from public life after leaving office, Trump continues to engage with the public and make himself visible, even if it means sacrificing some of his energy.
Ultimately, Tur's comments highlight the contrast between Trump's high-energy approach to public service and Biden's more laid-back approach, which has raised questions about the impact on their mental and cognitive abilities.

#StayNeutral. So I'm reading this article about Katy Tur saying Trump is doin' more than Biden and I'm like, is she even tryna compare apples to oranges? 
#TrumpProbs. I mean, can we just talk about how much more exhausting it must be 4 him 2 keep up with all that? 
Katy Tur just stating facts, like trump still showing up for press conferences and events even tho he's getting older. i mean, joe biden stepped back from all that after leaving office, that's a difference in approach. it's not about who's doing more or less, it's about how they choose to work with the public. tur's just saying trump's still very much engaged, that's it. 
. And Tur makes some valid points about how Trump still finds ways to engage with the public despite his fatigue issues. But at the same time, its hard not to feel like hes trying way too hard to prove himself when it comes to stamina and work ethic. I mean, come on, he's not fooling anyone that he's still got the same level of energy as Biden 
. Its all about perspective, imo.
, but he still finds ways to keep himself in the spotlight 
. It's like he's trying to prove a point or something 
, but Tur's right that we should look at it from Trump's own perspective 
.
, but now it seems like he's just trying to cling to his 15 minutes of fame 
. I'm not saying Biden was perfect or anything 
.
, and I think it's worth having a conversation about it 
. Maybe we can learn something from both Trump and Biden's approaches to public service 
. It's like comparing apples and oranges, you can't say Biden's approach is the only way to do it. Trump's all about that public face thing, and that's what gets him re-elected I guess 
. But don't get me wrong, if I were in his shoes (and I'm not), I'd be feeling pretty exhausted too 
.
on the other hand, biden has basically checked out and let others handle the hard stuff. so, i guess it's all about how you approach work, huh? don't get me wrong, i think both guys should take care of themselves, but still, trumps willingness to keep going despite his energy levels is kinda admirable? 
. I mean, come on, we all know Trump's energy levels are shot by now 
. It's like she thinks he's still 25 and got the stamina of a middle-aged guy 
.
. And what's with the cherry-picked example of Trump struggling at a Christmas party? That's just one tiny anecdote and doesn't tell the whole story 
.
. Can we have a real discussion about Trump's performance without the bias and spin? I doubt it 
.
