Trump is now older than Biden was when he took office. Partisan politics aside, have you noticed Trump appearing to decline mentally?
Do you find that the gets confused or loses his train of thought more often than he did when he was running in 2020 or 2016?
I stopped listening to Trump actually speaking when he lost the election in 2020 and i'm just now starting to listen to him again and....he seems to be getting confused and losing his train of thought a lot more. I know he's still got the same personality and rhetorical style but he seems to stumble a lot more.
Trump supporters, what do you think? Is 2024 Trump starting to lose his grip or do you think she's just as sharp as he was in 2016?

Honestly I think the world at large has a serious problem when most world leaders are closer to being 100 years old than they are to the age of some the largest demographics in the country they supposedly represent.
So there is the part about being further out of touch than just what is an issue from class alone.
Plus when your representative government can be mistaken for an old folks home that is also an issue for merely practical reasons.
Yet we are still told electing "elder statesmen" is the responsible thing to do.
I don't see how people don't see an issue with the government being on average older than the age of mandatory retirement for civil servants and in some cases by decades.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The country needs younger people to want to be politicians, but the deck is stacked against that. Who in either party would be a good candidate?
@samueltyler2 Part of it is some countries like the US have a minimum age requirement which is in many cases a decade or more over the requirement for any other position in government.
Stack on top of that the unofficial "paying your dues" within the party and you have a bunch of seniors.
@samueltyler2 My point is to be PM or President should be open to anyone of age to vote or serve as a minister. It is the only way I see that we won't end up with the world being run by people in their 80s.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So you favor waiving the current age requirements altogether? Should a 16 year old be allowed to run for congress, Seante, president?
