          Also those words would never be used for a memory evaluation, they are too closely related, I believe he was just naming what he could see.

            Within the context of where he was when he stated that list, 100% it was just what he saw in the moment when looking for inspiration for 5 words. If you sat a child down in a room full of toys and asked them to name 5 things, they would probably name their 5 favorite, or most obvious toys in front of them.

            Someone who was more with it would be able to put in the effort to pick random, less related words.

    I knew Trump was old, but this really puts it in perspective. I mean, he’s only a month older than W, but W was also “only” 55 when he was inaugurated, not nearing 80. Fuck.

    They don’t care. They don’t want a competent leader. They just want to win. They want a bit of dopamine.

    Biden was a candidate up till a few days ago. So Biden is still the oldest candidate ever.

    trump might grab the “oldest nominee ever” because he’s born a couple months later than Biden.

    Similarly, trump took office at 70 years and 220 days in 2016, so he could also grab “oldest to enter office”, that record is held by 2020 Biden at 78 years, 61 days in the unfortunate case he wins.

    I know it’s just a meme. But it’s worth the accuracy of being pedantic.

    Edit:

    Nope, not even the oldest nominee:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cooper

    Dude was 84, which means neither Biden or trump have been the oldest nominee/candidate.

    But Biden still has record for oldest president

        Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest nominee ever, and Kamala Harris.

        You keep saying “ever” and I do not think that word means what you think it means…

        Biden was a candidate up until a week ago, and he’s 3.5 years older than trump. The only way trump beats it is if he runs in 2028, which he prob will.

        But until then, Biden is the oldest presidential candidate ever.

        Edit:

        Now that you changed it to nominee…

        Are you sure there hasn’t been someone older that lost?

        You switched gears pretty quickly, so I don’t think you out in the legwork or check this either…

        It’s candidate (multiple for each party) then after the convention, they become the “nominee” (one per party).

        It’s confusing because the party keeps trying to act like primaries are over after the first handful of states vote.

        So for months they’re talking about a candidate like it’s the only option, but they’re still not the nominee.

      It’s clarifying that trump isn’t just older than their age when they took office, he’s older than their current age.

      alive people don’t pass each other in age

      Numerically, yes. But some people age considerably fast in other regards. Prince William and Nicki Minaj are the same age. Beyonce and Elijah Wood? Same age. John Cena and John Oliver. Same.

        Surelly the additional gravitational force felt by Trump due to his outsided ego has accelerated his aging?!

      It’s all just a play to be able to say when Biden took office, when they don’t on the others. The wording makes it seem like they say the same for all.

      Tries to hide the fact that Biden is still older than Trump (which should come as no surprise to anyone)
