If we thought attacking Biden for his age was bad/ageism, then the same should apply to Trump.

Using the GOP's behavior as the basis for our own is misguided.

Besides, Trump has a million other things to attack him on, most of them much worse than his age.

Whether people tie it to his age is their business, but anyone who thinks his ramblings about sharks and electric boats is coherent is living in a fantasy world.

He should drop out so the country can fix the division he has done so much to create. He should drop out for the benefit of the country.

Since they never failed to mention any of Biden’s gaffes.

I resent the media most in all of this. They don’t treat Trump as unfairly as they treated Biden.

And he was an ancient 73 in 1984. There is nothing ageist about pointing out that some people are too old for certain jobs. Presidents really should not start their terms over the age of seventy.
