so updating from “could shoot someone on fifth avenue and not lose any voters” it’s now: “be multiply indicted, found guilty of rape, spread classified documents all over the place, obvious tax cheat, promote fascism and the overthrow of democracy and suffer senile dementia… and not lose any voters”
Maybe that applies specifically when Trump is 77 years old, but it’s not a given for everyone reaching that point. My dad is still quite sharp at 87 and shows every indication of remaining that way.
He has literally always been a repulsive clown.
The only thing vibrant about him is his ugly bronzer.
My mom is 82 and just beginning to show some mental decline, but it’s barely noticeable. I have also known people in their early 60s who have had significant cognitive decline. Age certainly makes these things more likely, but it’s not a 1:1 correlation.
Will the MAGAts vote for a corpse?
… AIUI the Obamas still live in DC
Very impressive if he can pull that off. Most people can only remain 87 for a year at most.
My father isn’t so lucky, but yeah, this is a common misconception that it’s good to refute. Dementia is not the inevitable result of old age, but almost everyone (including myself until recently) seems to assume so. Elderly people with dementia are actually a minority. Not just a few remarkable individuals but most elders stay sharp their whole lives (though Trump is definitely not one of them).
Based on what I’ve seen so far: yes.
He’d likely do better in the role. Certainly spend less on golf travel.
Oh, this is so coming back to bite her in 24 years…
Takes one to know one?
Okay, maybe Trump’s case is actually worse than the Fox reality distortion field. She’s still terrible even after she left though.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And they spoke English!
Those (Megyn Kelly) in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Kelly’s odious, and wrong about this just being part of aging, but she’s not wrong about Trump’s decline.
… which dialect though
Teh FREEDOM dialect !!!1!!11!!
'Murican, of course!
