    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.

      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.
