Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents.

With queries about Biden, Google doesn't offer an AI summary, just links. But if you go to AI mode, you will get an AI summary abour Biden with a preliminary paragraph saying its answer isn't definitive because it's based only on public information.

The Verge staff thinks Google is afraid of Trump.
