He's just too old for this job.

How old is he?

He's older than Bill Clinton, and Bill Clinton ended his second term in office almost a quarter century ago.

He's older than Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to attend a white school

He's older than the first commercially available microwave oven.

He's even older than the transistor.

If Tim Walz served two terms as vice president, then was elected president and served two terms, at the end of his second term as president he still wouldn’t be as old as Donald Trump is today.

[-] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 77 points 3 weeks ago

He was born before black people could play in MLB.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago

The"again" in his slogan undoubtedly...

[-] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago

He's been alive longer than Hawaii and Alaska have been US states.

He predates lasers, commercial jet airliners, and the pocket calculator.

He is older than presidential term limits and the CIA.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

When he was born, the Philippines were still part of the United States.

He's two decades older than plate tectonics being even theorized.

[-] Letme@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago

He was ~30 years old when women were finally allowed to open their own bank accounts.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 24 points 3 weeks ago

He's older than CPR

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Be fair dude did work for thirty whole minutes at a McDonald's/s. Fact the place was closed had no baring on that. Trump is to old. Time to retire him to prison.

Doesn't he look tired?

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 60 points 3 weeks ago

He sure looks tired.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 53 points 3 weeks ago

Don't you think he looks tired.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 39 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, he must be close to running out his battery, I guess

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 35 points 3 weeks ago

I don't blame him - it's amazing how tiring a long shift at McDonald's can be!

He seems fragile, doesn't he?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

His batteries are nearly depleted.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

He's so pale the awful bronzer makes him look like a party clown.

[-] oyfrog@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Worst party ever.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I forgot he believes people have a lifetime charge that will be depleted by exercise.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was exhausted, this campaign is probably the most work he's done in his life. He's old, he's clearly in decline, and although he's fueled by greed and spite he may be becoming concerned that he's not winning as clearly as he'd like.

[-] rauls4@lemm.ee 27 points 3 weeks ago

I think he is driven by fear of imprisonment

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

He won't serve a day in prison. He's driven by fear of having to flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like Trump is lazy to me.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 28 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm sure he managed to find the energy for the Saudi interview though right?

He's always got energy for investors. I'm sure he just sees Tulsi and RFK as tools that he doesn't need anymore.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

sweepy twump, he needs a wittle nappy in between shouting that he wants to send the military after americans.

[-] MinusPi@pawb.social 25 points 3 weeks ago

10th Doctor: "Doesn't he look tired?"

[-] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

I just feel sorry for him at this point. Not as much as I feel sorry for America, but I do feel sorry for him. When he dies, he will die not having known the best things in life. No true love, no actual friends, no peace. Money has not bought him happiness. Maybe he was born into a prison of his family’s making, but all he’s done is build up the walls and seal the doors. He’s a tragic, pitiful character rather than a beacon of strength or success.

Erm, make sure you put him in an actual prison too, though. Good luck, Yanks, your tea-drinking cousins still want the best for you despite everything 🇬🇧

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

There's one wall he didn't build 👀

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

It's so great watching them try to roll him into the white house in a wheelchair, and he can't even sit upright in it anymore.

"Strongman" lol.

Vote.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

TRUMP
SENILE
KAMALA
LUCID

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

God damn I've been seeing the signs I think you are referencing here everywhere and have been meaning to get a picture to see if they feel as ickily Orwellian to everyone else as they do me.

Trump

Safety

...

Kamala

Crime

Trump

Low Taxes

...

Kamala

High Taxes

Those are the two I see the most. The first one especially feels like something out of a dystopian near-future scifi.

There's one more, when I remember it I'll update.

Edit - oh yeah:

Trump

Secure Border

...

Kamala

Open Border

How would he survive 4 more years when he's too tired to do a 60min interview?

[-] el_bhm@lemm.ee 20 points 3 weeks ago

He is not tired.

He has nothing to offer beyond entertainment and fascist slogans.

This is an act so he stays in the media.

Weekend at Donnie's

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Remember when dimbulb donnie's stupid qult was telling everyone Hillary was one step away from being dead....in 2015 and 2016?

Wonder where these people are now?

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

Why not, you know, have some rest in peace?

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

Way way to old and Orange for the job.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

tiredness is like the least of my concerns about this guy

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe he should quit his campaign

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly I'm surprised he can golf anymore as low energy and sleepy as he is. He's certainly not fit to be president as he has 34 felony convictions against him and more on the way.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

He's actually stopped golfing recently (for security reasons), so who's to say if he can still golf

I can understand it, though, I would find dealing with those two exhausting
