    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.

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

        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.

    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 🇬🇧

    He is not tired.

    He has nothing to offer beyond entertainment and fascist slogans.

    This is an act so he stays in the media.

      There’s exactly zero chance he’s passing up the chance to talk in front of a bunch of people because HE doesn’t think he has anything worth saying. That shitbird LOVES to talk, not having anything worth saying has never stopped him before.

      He possibly is. I’d be unable to sleep too if I had a few criminal cases lined up. With Walz/Harris, there is a very real chance his life will slip away and he now has criminal court cases where he has no control.

      Whilst judge Cannon won’t send him to jail, there are lots of judges that will including the tax fraud case

      Don’t forget that many of his attacks are Hypocrisy… He even fell asleep during his criminal court hearings. Sleepy Don…

      He does that because then his followers think when people point out the hypocrisy they’re just being unoriginal (whereas, it’s actually the truth).

      Don’t be surprised if the guy has eaten cat or dog too honestly

    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.

    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.

        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

          Yeah, those are the signs I’m talking about, basically

          TRUMP
          GOOD
          KAMALA
          BAD

          They’re just so fucking stupid, I can’t believe Trump supporters aren’t embarrassed by them.

    Remember soon after taking the presidency, he was bitching that the job was much tougher than he expected, now he’s 4 years older
