Washington:
Donald Trump has said that “only a stupid person would put an old man” on the Supreme Court, but ironically, at 78 years old, he himself is running for the highest office in the U.S. government. I divulged something.
Joe Biden is not alone in facing age-related backlash, as is Trump, who will be 82 years old by the end of his term if elected.
He is also currently the oldest presidential candidate in U.S. history and has been a frequent target of Democrats who have questioned his ability to hold the office.
In an interview with Bloomberg, President Trump said of his nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court, “It’s amazing because I’ve won three in four years.” “Most people don’t get anything because you let them in because they’re young. You tend to let them in young.” It’s just people. You know, the reason we don’t include old age is because it’s two or three years, right?
President Trump’s nominees to the Supreme Court, including Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, skew relatively young, with an average age of 50 compared to the historical average of 60. Ta.
The three people President Trump appointed to the Supreme Court have significantly contributed to the court’s conservative majority and brought significant changes to federal precedent. One of the most important outcomes of this change was the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that previously protected the right to abortion care.
When the interviewer reminded him that he was 78 years old, President Trump ignored the question and continued talking about Supreme Court nominees, replying, “So I’m three.” . “A lot of presidents don’t get anything, but I got three. And, well, by the way, I think those three were great choices as well.”
President Trump’s mental fitness has been questioned, as he frequently rambles for long periods at rallies, ignores or misses questions, and recently spent time wandering around town hall instead of answering questions. There are doubts about this.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis told The Independent that President Trump is “actually not very cognitively capable.”
“When we talk about people with dementia, we have the word nightfall, and it becomes much more difficult for them as the day goes on. It’s very difficult to stay focused on a topic. Staying focused, late in the day…If it was your grandpa, you wouldn’t think twice, he just happens to be running for president.”
