I think anyone over 45 should be ineligible for president. Older people don't have enough skin in the game to care about the long term future.
I think all politicians should retire at retirement age and can't raise the retirement age without a referendum. 45 is pretty fucking young. Like that's right around the peak of life experience X mental acuity. You still have 20 years of productive capability.
I'm over a decade younger than that and I feel that's too young
Wait till you’re 60. You’ll think 45 is still pretty young. And I hate to tell you, no politician is thinking much past the next election.
Donald Trump, 79
Don't get my hopes up like that.
Nothing he's done is official because he's violated his oath of office. He's not even the fucking president
Try telling that to the Americans and they'll just shrug and go "what are ya gonna do?"
I bet he thinks once he utters a "decree" it becomes law in his dementia addled brain
