In the middle of Trump’s statement, the interviewer (John Micklethwait) pointed out Trump’s own advanced age by saying “You’re a 78-year old man running for president.” But, Trump just ignored the comment.
Quote him correctly, he said, “Only stupid people put old.” That was it, the entire sentence.

It’s pretty ironic for him to say that when he’s the oldest one running. Makes you wonder if he really thinks about what he’s saying sometimes

He’s so out of touch with reality it’s like something is really wrong with him. I hope he gets the help he needs.

This was recognized early with Biden at least and dems pivoted quickly and successfully to the next best candidate. The republicans are going to have to learn the hard way

true! thats one reason why i voted for kamala. ty for this advice

Most of his voters don’t even listen anymore. When they are seen leaving his Rallies early it’s because they’ve posted all the photos on Facebook and tweeted out all the pics. It’s more important to just be seen there. None of them are listening

Well, how soon until this is clipped and put into an ad?

Well, the moron *does* seem self aware enough to know that people who vote for him have to be stupid to do so.

We have all just witnessed the one and only moment when Trump spoke a truth.

He really hates his own base.

Just when you think he’s wrong and lies about everything, he hits you with a truth bomb!

Moment of clarity.

He’s right

Goes well with
“The biggest threat to our democracy is stupid people.”
Still my fav Trump quote from the last couple of weeks.

Look, I don’t like the guy but don’t misquote. He said it’s a bad idea to appoint supreme court justices who are older. Because they’re a lifetime appointment… unlike the president which is a 4 year term… There are many things, many many things I disagree with him on, but in this case he actually makes sense. You want stability in the SC and an older appointee is obviously less likely to be there long term.

One thing that has been really frustrating to me is that he keeps getting away with saying that all of his election cases were thrown out because he didn’t have standing. This isn’t true. Many of his cases were heard on merits and I need a reporter to push him on this. Vote against the old liar

Old guy says he’s too old to be president. Use his own words against him.

To be fair, he doesn’t actually want to win this time, either.
He just needs to.

First thing he’s said that I agree with .

Need a clip of this, followed by “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message” 😉

I think it is safe to assume that very few deplorables watch Bloomberg TV.

At least he knows his base

I think he’s so narcissistic, he truly doesn’t accept that he is old

Say it again, Don maybe a little louder… Or maybe with better words?
GarbageCleric on
The headline to this post is misleading. Trump was specifically talking about Supreme Court Justices, and the reason to choose young Supreme Court Justices is because it’s a lifetime appointment, and younger people will therefore stay in the position longer. It’s not about their mental acuity. So, the logic doesn’t really apply to presidents who at most serve two four-year terms.
I mean it was a dumb thing for Trump to say because of the sound bite potential, but he’s not wrong. Of the stupid and horrific stuff Trump has said, this doesn’t really rank.

Trump is old and stupid, so his people have things in common.

when he’s right, he’s right.
Probably the 1st time he has told the truth
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
