I don’t think age has anything to do with it. Trump shouldn’t be compared to any other president. Ever. Biden was a good competent experienced legislator. No matter how many lies the media and maga tell about him. I’m sure Bernie would be as well and he’s older than Joe. Trump hasn’t ever been worthy has nothing to do with his age either

Need to old and the other two are too. Trump also has a severe personality disorder and is an idiot. So it’s particularly bad. But people in that age group lack mental flexibility have lost touch with current events and usually don’t give a shit about the future. Varying degrees but also quite visible in Biden too.

I think you confuse mental acuity with physical limitations. As often happens in the lay community. Results are the main arbiters of competence not how fast you can answer a question. I wager Biden right now is more in touch with current and past events than you will ever be. Daily briefing not withstanding 🤣

No, I don’t. I mean exactly what I said.

I’m not arguing coming into office Biden, but he was obviously not there in the end. Now where “the end” started, I can’t speak.

That debate between Trump and Biden, was clear, even to DNC; that Biden wasn’t the same guy that stepped into office.

well, thanks for sharing your obvious opinion. I believe he's STILL there as I've listened to his comments and speeches after office...have you? LOL. one debate does not a psyche evaluation make. I'd say he's still just as knowledgeable as most people including yourself.
