And at 77 in 2 days, I feel quite at home!
(Self bought birthday cake coming up, all are invited!)

Trump is the oldest serving POTUS in the history of the country.

The problem with old people is that ARMD (age related mental decay) in themselves is never recognised from within.

They haven't changed, so it must be other people, right? /sarcasm

Lower age limit for the POTUS job is 35, but why no upper age limit?
Time to adapt or change the rules!

Trump never had a working brain, and he is just getting worse.

Dangerously sad and upsetting times.
