It's always a laugh whenever this guy talks about the smart things he does or calls other people stupid or liars.  He is almost as bad as his eldest son. 

I know someone who is just about as stupid and dishonest and has the same oversized ego. it's like they are a species of their own.  They should all be exiled to an island with only their own kind.

This head line is out of context. Trump is specifically referencing the lifetime appointments of the right-wing political operatives he installed on the SCOTUS. And if he wins again Alito and Thomas will bow out earlier than if Harris wins  so the right-wing can select two more younger so-called Justices to serve for decades.

Wow really? I would bet money you voted for Biden last elections when he was 78 also. Typical attitude to the Dems. What is right for the Dems is wrong for the Republicans.

Yes, you're really happy with a man so old running for office.

He is very old and he is not revealing his medical. The country ought to be concern.

Back to reality, there should be age limits, at around 75 years old must resign / must be turfed out, plus limits on total years in the job, perhaps 15 years.

[ignore it]

So I guess your saying young people are stupid.

 

Always thought so.

[harryviking]

LOL! I once read that the population has at least 25 to 30 pct. "stupid" people, people with an IQ lower than 83! Trump also said he loves "low educated people"! LOL! He can say that because those dumb people are to dumb to understand they are DUMB!! 🤣🤣🤣

Surely what's important is the mental and physical state of health of the individual. I have one friend who is 93 who runs everyday and is mentally sharp, and another who is late 60s and pretty much clueless, sadly.

Amend the US Constitution. That should be easy these days.

You must be mentally disturbed to vote for him.

Biden would be that age, if elected, even before he started his term, and you were OK with that......... until the day Nancy decided he had to go

Are you sure it was nancy that decided that?   Some of the stuff I read on the internet claims it was barack is the head honcho making the decisions.   

 

And there is this:

 

"...  Obama then makes it straightforward to Biden that they need to follow orders and stop pretending."

 

 

"The awkward conversation ends with Obama saying, "I'm getting tired of it. It gonna be hectic next week and the week after that, I've only encountered that ..." Biden then agrees that "they can adapt." And just like that, the testy moment between the powerful presidents is over.

 

(but it appears that it isn't known what exactly the conversation was about)

And yes you were one of those that approved of his age, regardless his clear signs of dementia.

Right. The thread is about trump's age, you deflect about biden. And when called out about your deflection you complain about deflecting.
