He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 185 points 3 months ago

Don't you think he looks tired?

[-] TechAnon@lemm.ee 84 points 3 months ago

He's so old he requires a bandage the size of his ear for a 2 centimeter cut.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

How long is he going to wear that maxi pad anyway?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Until the election, obviously.

~~bandage~~ Maxi pad

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Ha, awesome doctor who reference

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Keeps repeating himself over and over, and going off on some sort of delusion that he's been the actual president for the last four years

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 61 points 3 months ago

I saw parts of his RNC “speech” and he could barely string a coherent sentence together. Really low energy and kept falling asleep. He needs to drop out.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 23 points 3 months ago

Well, in that case he’s as coherent as 10 years ago.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Even by donnie's standards, he's getting incoherent. And that's really saying something.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 11 points 3 months ago

I know, it was just a low hanging fruit.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

To be fair, you aren't wrong: his coherency had already substantially declined even back in 2016 (compared to e.g. interviews from the '80s and '90s).

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lol at that username

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 43 points 3 months ago

Everyone is saying it. Why, just the other day, a man ran up to me, tears in his eyes, and he said, "Sir! Sir! Why won't donnie drop out of the race? He's far too old and senile!"

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 35 points 3 months ago

It's true, more people are saying it every day. "Dozing Donald" they call him. So many people are calling him that, but he can't even hear them. It's sad.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

Didn't Trump fall asleep during his trial and the convention?

We want a president who can stay awake.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
