This should come as no shock. Age has been a concern since 2016.

Being old is nowhere near the worst problem with Trump.

Bush Jr, Trump, and Slick Willy Clinton were all born in 1946. In 1946, Tupperware and Bikinis were invented. Also, the year HG Wells died. He was born in 1866.

In fact, both Clinton and Dubya are younger than Trump. Only by months, but still. Clinton's been out of office for 24 years and Dubya for 16.

Yeah, but he's also too old.

Well I was calling Trump too old and Biden too old to be running for eight years now but that's not the point is it?

Doesn't matter if he's too damn old when economic anxiety runs rampant in the American voting public.

I definitely think there is a case of Goose/Gander here. If Biden was too old, and got run out of office by opportunistic media jerks happy to harp on his age day after day, attacking things he's done his entire adult life as if it shows he's one foot in the grave, then by god, the Media should jump all over Trump for the same problems. This is our way of saying "Hey, if Biden was too old at 81, then so is Trump at 78, especially with 59 year old Harris in the mix. Where are you, Media?"
