I mean we've been saying they are both too old. That hasn't changed.

Unless the democrats fuck up and pick someone over 70, it's a good win for them on this point.
I think everyone who had their name pushed and could have a chance at the convention has already endorsed Kamala Harris. They're pretty obviously trying to avoid a contentious convention.

Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence is too old. He needs to drop out, it's just embarrassing at this point.
The Fanta Menace. I'm dying on this hill.
The Tangerine Palpatine is simply too old to lead the galactic senate and needs to step down to the nursing home.

He is too old, but like, if a 90 year old hitler were running for president i wouldnt be saying im not voting for him because of his age. Trump has been the worst parts of humanity for decades.
Exactly. "Too old" is a concern, but far less than "fascist wanna be dictator."

Wait wait, the Democrats, who said Biden was too old and stopped giving $ to Biden's campaign are being consistent in their message? Well I'll be damned.
How dare you hold republicans to even the most meager standards!

He confused Biden and Obama, Haley and Pelosi. Bizarre stuff spews from his mouth nearly every time he opens it. Where's the outrage?

This really demonstrates a difference between democrats and republicans.
Democrats cared about the hypocrisy of pointing out that the opponent candidate was too old, and only started saying this after this was no longer a problem.
Republicans didn’t care that their candidate was also too old.

Its not his age it's that his brain is broken.
His brain is even more broken than before. Watch the footage of MAGAts walking out of his rallies as he keeps repeating the same things and talking gibberish.

And not just normal age related broken. Though age hasn't really improved the situation.

I mean, he is too old. He's only 3 years younger than Biden. So if the narrative here is that Biden is too old, then so is Trump.
That three years makes a big difference to Trump voters, that is the difference between "Frowned Upon" and 18 years old.

Jesus Fred Christ what are the photo editors doing?
Every trump article has an ever-more-close-up even-greasier horror picture of his sociopathic rapist fraud face. Man, nobody wants to see that shit!
Exactly what they should be IMO. It's an article talking about how he is too old and that photo, even from the tiny thumbnail I see, is just perfect for demonstrating that fact.

It was all the media really cared about before. Should be their number 1 concern now. Right?
if you aint fit for working after 65+, you shouldnt be fit to be a fucking president
A single felony conviction prevents you from getting a TON of jobs...
... but apparently 34 doesn't prevent you from being president

Makes sense, If 81 is too old, 78 is probably too old too. After all, Trump would be 81 during his presidency if he wins.
Is it just me, or has Newsweek been putting out a lot of content about how Trump is losing and doing poorly, despite most polls saying otherwise?
Beware this source. It's one step away from a tabloid.
It provides a false sense of security for the left even though they should still definitely be worried. The past week is reminiscent of 2016 when everyone thought Trump was a joke candidate and Hillary was going to crush him.

Turnabout is fair play~
He's always been too old. Biden dropping out is just his core from dating it because they at least understand the concept of "don't throw stones in glass house." Meanwhile conservatives only speak two languages - hypocrisy and fanaticism.

This tactic implies that Trump voters ever gave half a shit about age in the first place. They attacked biden's age because it was low hanging fruit. No risk, high reward. Nice easy way to say they're "holding their noses and voting for Trump", even though that was the plan all along, because Biden's age gave them a convenient excuse to justify their choice without exposing themselves as bigots.

Democrats have begun to question former President Donald Trump's age hours after he was made the oldest presidential candidate in history yesterday. A Kamala Harris campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that "the American people are rightly concerned."
Lol! Nature is healing.
Yes, we're very concerned.

I mean, everyone is saying it. Everyone. Even some of the magaloons know it. Even if it's only a very tiny voice they hear only after they turn off the Faux "News", turn off the hate radio and shut off 4chan or whatever and go to tuck themselves in...they know it.
He could always drop out if this is hurting his feelings.
