I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    One must be at least 35 years old to qualify for the office of president. Trump meets that qualification. There are others, most notably the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment, which, in a sane world, would disqualify him.

    But I suspect that you’re using the word “qualifies” in a colloquial sense, and not a legal one. Donald Trump is a fascist, and since fascism is in direct contradiction to democracy, no, I do not believe that Donald Trump is colloquially qualified to be president.

      But at least he’s not some wet behind the ears 34 year old. That would be the real nightmare scenario.

          Well, it’s not like the ageist policy that perpetuates the existing gerontocracy is going away without a constitutional amendment anyway.
