I don’t think we should rule out nearly 80yo automatically but why are all our candidates so long in the tooth? Why are there no 60-70yos? GenX will be shoved aside completely and we’ll have Millenials or Gen Z next. I wouldn’t be too shocked if Gen Z manages to wiggle in early somehow ahead of Millenials. |
I assume Boomers will hold on until they skip right over Gen X and Millennials. |
60-70 year olds are all Boomers--the very youngest of them. |
It's a cult. It doesn't matter he could be dead and they would still vote for him... Hope I didn't give them an idea |
That's not a recipe for healthy aging. My mom is a few years younger than that and my stepfather 8 years older than her. They are going strong. Gardening, driving meals on wheels, managing their business, taking care of their dogs, planning international travel and doing many many activities. My stepfather even does yoga every day. |
My parents are Trump's age, retired in 2012 and keep active both physically and mentally...but are still declining. My mom tells us the same story over and over. My dad will forget things he did mere minutes ago. It's inevitable. |
He has dementia, mid to late stage, so he's cold all of the time. I give him another 6 months to year, and he's going to be in much, much worse shape. But he will inflict mass chaos in the meantime. |
My dad is Trump's age (79). Here's his day in a nutshell:
1. wakes at 5 AM 2. takes his dog out on a walk around his backyard, feeds the dog, and makes breakfast for himself. 3. eats and watches the news. usually naps between 8-10 am. 4. eats lunch at 11:30, takes his dog on a long walk, and then naps until 1:30 5. heads to the local senior center for an activity of some sort from 2-3:30 pm 6. eats dinner somewhere between 4-4:30 pm. watches tv and dozes until his bedtime at 7 pm. 7. sleeps from 7-midnight/1 am. that's his core, deep sleep. he usually wakes at midnight/1 for a snack and then dozes in and out until he wakes for good at 5 am. Toss in a few days each month of golf with friends and doctor's appointments and that's his life. My dad was a big executive before retirement but there's no way in hell I'd vote for him to be President at his age. Not all old people are like your Dad. |
He has dementia for sure. But it’s not late stage yet. He’s definitely declined since the campaign though. |
But Bill Maher said Trump is nice! He cannot have declined since November. Can he? |
Sadly dementia is inexorable. It can be slowed but that’s about it. Trump’s dementia is pretty clear to anyone who has a family member who has suffered from it. Not sure what the reference to Bill Maher is though. |
They are "looking into" how a dead body can become president. It'll be beautiful. He'll be the most beautiful dead body. And the smartest. A genius. Nobody knows corpses better than I do. Let me tell you. I saw a shark the other day. It's name was Habbinal Lectoritis and it was a beautiful shark. A great shark. Anyway, woman, camera, TV!! They say President Ukelele is the best. He is like Putin. He rides the big white horses without a shirt. I love President Ukelele. He will take all our homegrowns if they are mean to me and put them in prisons. Big prisons. |
He also wandered off when he was supposed to sign a document to install one of the Putin Barbie Dolls in the cabinet. I've blocked her name from my mind. Or maybe I have dementia too. |
