In the closing months of the 2020 presidential campaign, Donald Trump leveled an unsubstantiated accusation against Joe Biden, suggesting his opponent used performance-enhancing drugs before debates. His niece, clinical psychologist Mary Trump, offered not a rebuttal but a diagnosis — framing the claim as projection, a mirror held up to her uncle's own desperation rather than a window into Biden's conduct. It was a moment that said less about what either candidate had done and more about what the campaign had become: a contest where allegation had begun to substitute for argument.
