    I mean, he is too old. He’s only 3 years younger than Biden. So if the narrative here is that Biden is too old, then so is Trump.

      That three years makes a big difference to Trump voters, that is the difference between “Frowned Upon” and 18 years old.

      He is only the candidate because of DEI. It would be discrimination to disqualify him based on his advanced age. Damn DEI.

      We already TRIED electing a president who was a year younger than Trump is right now and even then, it SUCKED! Thank goodness there’s no reason we ever have to make that stupid, bone headed, silly mistake ever again…

      The objection to Biden was his infirmity and obvious mental degradation. People were saying he had early onset dementia in 2019. Trump has neither of these issues. He can stand and talk for hours. He was shot and got back up. He’s healthy.

        So you’ve never actually listened to one of his speeches then have you? He can’t maintain a train of thought and usually doesn’t finish a sentence before going off track and never finishing. He fell asleep at his own trial. He is absolutely too old and does all the things they accused Biden of. Biden was too old, so is Trump.

          Trump is old but he’s got all his marbles. Sorry. You just don’t like him and want him to lose which is fine.

              Underestimating your political opponent

              Clearly a student of Sun Tzu

                I think considering Donald Trump to have any significant degree of intelligence or political acumen is an overestimation. The Cult of the GOP is a concern and I am worried about how many people have cast aside all sense of empathy and humanity in favor of supporting Trump, but the man himself is little more than a demagogue with a recognizable name.

                  You’re right he’s super dumb and not a threat at all. It’s only his handlers.

                    A person doesn’t have to be smart to be a threat. Trump in particular is as dumb as a bag of rocks but he’s super dangerous because of his cult.

        my grandad can stand and talk for hours, that doesn’t mean his ramblings would make any sense, or that he could run our country

          Actually you’re right. Don’t worry about Trump. He’s senile and doesn’t stand a chance. Kamala totally has it in the bag.
