No video cameras allowed
During the Presidents latest appearance, only still cameras. Why do you think that is and how do they enforce it?

They would enforce it after publication I would guess. And if someone did air a video they would lose their press pass to presidential conferences. It's not suppressing the press but controlling it a bit there's not enough room to just let everyone in to every conference,
As far as just using still shots, that may be a way of keeping the gaffs minimal. They don't need video of him tripping up the stairs or on the White House lawn.

My understanding is that kimmel’s show records for broadcast just ahead of air time. If you are feeding into the idea that Joe is pre dementia…you will have to do better than that.
Trump didn’t look any better. The nation needs to forget anyone over 60 for the office..

@SW-User I don't know if he has dementia or not but I do know his staff tries to protect him from unscripted interviews and live events, the President has even said, " I can only take a few question or I'm going to get in trouble" That's not normal.

@FreeSpirit1 he has always gone off script and wandered into a blunder.

@IM5688 can you tell me a model number and brand?

@SW-User They are rarely used these days, but any 35mm film camera is a still camera. They were made by Nikkon, Ricoh, Cannon, etc.

It's actually a pretty regular occurrence at political events. The media department of any White House picks and chooses most of how a president appears on television. It's enforced largely though the cooperation. Access to a president since the assassination of President Kennedy has become far more controlled and most of the modern presidents hate that. The vast majority of politicians prefer to be with "the people." Their social skills are frequently their greatest asset. The idea of older people like Trump or Biden being diminished is just a fact, it comes from age, by neither man has dementia as Biden still has a firm grasp of both domestic and foreign policies and is an effective negotiator and Trump expresses his cognitive skills for entertainment value and is still a remarkably talented grifter, perhaps the most successful in American history.
Where did you get that information?
