In a discussion about the post-pandemic performances between Trump and President Bien, Dr. Bart Rossi, PhD, says, “It’s all about the optics.” It’s about age, ability, cognitive decline, and what’s to come.“Trump is an old man of 75 who looked 65, and Biden is an old man of 81 who looked 91,” based on the optics of the presentation. This doesn’t speak to what they said but rather how they said it. Trump is loud and bold, which doesn’t undo the lies he tells but does present an in-charge persona.Host Frank Cipoll and Dr. Rossi, PhD delve into the above, the Republican National Convention, and a broad discussion of the pros and cons of immigrants. Another topic in this issue is climate change and Florida’s continued hand in the education system, ordering certain information about climate change to be removed from books before they can be used in public schools.And to end, there is a beautiful story of humanity.Let’s Be Frank: an opinion monologue about the Supreme Court ruling on Presidential immunity.
