    Especially articles like this. Like yes, he’s old. Congrats. He’s been old for at least a decade. Do we… do we need this article?

      I think this article was written because republicans always say Biden is too old. He is, but so is Trump

        In every respect except for actual years, Trump is “older”. He’s not as mentally agile as Biden. He’s not as physically healthy as Biden. He very likely has fewer years left than Biden. When people talk about age, it’s these things that they are concerned about, but in this case, you can just look at these factors directly.

        I remember when Jack LaLanne started promoting juicers, and he was on TV in his 80s. If you looked at him, you just knew he had a long time left. And he lived to be 96. Physical age is a very useful statistic, but it’s not the only statistic.

      Headlines with layers of qualifiers to say the same thing with more emphasis, seems like a lot of Trump articles do this now.

      It’s Definitely Really Official Now, Trump is Actually Officially Old
