    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.

      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.

        I mean…so is my dad…and he’s not even to retirement yet.

        I wouldn’t have a problem with a (healthy, sane, responsible, democracy-minded) president in their 60s.

        Hell, given those conditions, while I wouldn’t love the idea, I’d be okay with a president in their 80s too.

        But my main problem is that Trump ticks exactly zero of those boxes.

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

      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.

      The transistor one really got me… The transistor made all computing possible. It’s the cornerstone to all modern electronics.

      Or, “the cyber”, as Trump calls it.

    Sure seems like he isn’t capable of a job that requires him to work a full day every day. You know, like being President.

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

      Maybe he shouldn’t have raged so much to wear them out faster. Being calm all the time (from his theory) could’ve easily extended his life a decade or two. Mean it’s probably not a lot of energy at a time but he’s always raging at something it must be draining.

    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.

    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.

      He will. And I suspect it will be shortly (within the first two years) after he takes office, putting J.D. Stalin in charge. I suspect he has a serious illness, of which both he and his close advisors are aware, and they are keeping silent about it. It would explain Vance’s presidential-nominee-style campaigning as well as a few other things about the planned transition…

      That should actually make people more scared. A narcissist cannot fully comprehend their own death. Instead, it will make him even more volatile, more violent, and more vicious. If a narcissist is going to die, they truly believe everyone and everything else should too. Ask anyone that has watched a narcissistic parent die.

      A narcissist faced with a terminal diagnosis is likely to respond with intense emotional volatility. The sudden loss of control and the threat to their inflated self-image can ignite unpredictable bouts of anger and even violence. Their sense of entitlement and the belief that they deserve special treatment will cause them to lash out anyone that does not meet their demands. This rage, driven by a deep fear of losing control, can manifest in dangerous, hostile outbursts as they struggle to maintain dominance in an increasingly powerless situation.

      Simultaneously, their manipulative tendencies may escalate. They weaponize everything. It they’re dying, everyone should be dying. The narcissist’s desperate need to protect their fragile sense of superiority leads to highly destructive behavior. So, if it’s the case that he has received a terminal diagnosis and he wins the presidency, which polls show is increasingly likely… Strap. The. Fuck. In.

        I refuse to believe that they could possibly win. And in such a case. I refuse to believe that normal, sane, non-piece-of shit Americans will fail determine the cause of their cheating and correct it.

        Short of this is anarchy as far as I’m concerned. There is no legitimate case in which tRump wins.

          OK. Well, Silver’s polling aggregator currently shows Trump with a 6.5% advantage to win the electoral college over Harris, so, you can deny the possibility all you want. That doesn’t make it a less real, and at this point even likely, possibility.

      I still need a Weinstein from Trump. Send Trump to jail for his crimes. No bronzer, no rallies, diaper full with no one to change him…whatever, as long as the humiliation is public. Then he can die if he wants.
