Yeah, the Democrats did make it a big deal when he held a water bottle with both hands.
The US President claims he ran down a staircase with 'momentum' after he was criticised for a shuffling walk, and using two hands to drink water at a West Point graduation address in New York

Today at West Point: I don’t want to make fun of people with serious medical issues, but Republicans opened up this can of worms four years ago when they pretended Hillary Clinton was on her deathbed with everything from Parkinson’s to multiple...

Mainstream "journalists" very much focused on his "ability to drink a glass of water with one hand."

Remember when Trump walking down a ramp carefully "raised significant health concerns" according to the NY Times?
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/us/politics/trump-ramp-water-glass-health.html
Remember when Trump's walk down the ramp - not falling -- raised health concerns to CNN?
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/donald-trump-health-ramp-water/index.html - the media turned it into a near scandal.

So, yeah - ****ing hell yeah - if Biden can't keep himself from falling on a nearly stationary bicycle, then yeah - it raises at least as many "health concerns" as were raised about Trump and his water drinking and ramp walking.
Please, let's not pretend that focus on little things like this is just starting now. The Democrats were masters at taking anything - literally anything - and turning into a media scandal. They focused on everything from Trump putting ketchup on a steak, to Trump drinking too much diet coke, to Trump being a racist because he liked the Taco Bowls served at one of his hotel restaurants.
Remember when the media wrote articles about how Trump was at greater risk from serious Covid illness due to age, overweight, cholesterol and being male, but no such articles are published about Biden, who is older than Trump, also male (well, he's never specified, so we can only assume neutrality - he may well be female - we don't know - we can't know - right Progressives?), Biden takes pills to reduce his cholesterol too, Biden is on blood thinners, and takes medication for acid reflux and seasonal allergies - all of which puts him at heightened risk for serious Covid illness - you know this would be a feature of a Trump presidency, because it was when Trump was President. But, we don't see that at all. Why? Because the media covers for Biden.
Remember when how the President ate his steak mattered?
https://www.eater.com/2017/2/28/14753248/trump-steak-well-done-ketchup-personality The Washingoton ****ing Post even did a piece on how Trump ate his steak, which they said was "overcooked" -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...8895b4-fd19-11e6-8f41-ea6ed597e4ca_story.html and it was echoed around the media - tut tut - the media said -- what rube -- what maroon - what provincial peasant was Trump, since he did not order his steak rare or medium rare! And, for shame, he put ketchup on it! har har harrrrr dee har har.....

When Bill Clinton would eat massive amounts of burgers and french fries, and when Barack Obama would smoke, the media reported it as interesting peccadillos, to be admired in a great man, who has the proclivities. They were not failings to be criticized. But, Trump eats a hamburger, and it's a grave concern. Trump doesn't eat his steak right, and it is a grave concern. Trump picks up a glass with two hands or holds a railing on a ramp and it's borderline 25th amendment territory.
That's the bed the media has laid, so what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
