Is Trump Too Old To Be Running For The Presidency?
If he survived the entirety of his term in office he'd be well into his 80s.
He should be playing more golf under the Florida sun while he's still able.

Is that before his Trump National Doral Miami golf course gets repossessed by Deutsche Bank, with whom he's got a $125m mortgage? (It's finances appear to be in a very precarious state, as do the finances of just about all of DT's other golf courses).
Maybe he should keep playing golf. He says he's very good at it.

I would say so. But I'm not the one making the choice. What I would say is that in the first Republican presidential caucus, back in Iowa in January, Trump won by a landslide - scoring 51% of the votes, leaving the remaining 49% shared between 39 other contestants, with Ron DeSantis coming in second at 21.3%. Unlike Biden, Trump had to win against younger opponents; and he did win, with all the other candidates finally giving way, the last being Nikki Haley.
Age shouldn't matter. OH and I 'eloped' to UK when he was 75, married when he was 80, kept 2 houses and acres of land, 30Km apart, going for 5 years until mine sold; packed up houses, cleaned, cleared; dealt with all the legalities in French and English; bought a house in England from France and moved to UK when he was 82. It was a massive effort for both of us, but we managed it.
It is only in the last year (he's now 91) that he has visibly slowed and deteriorated in many ways - a great sadness to me - but mentally he is still very alert and perfectly capable.
I played the organ at a friend's funeral last Thursday (really very upset at her going) who was mentally fine until the very end - she was 95 yrs. 8 mths. old.
People must be judged on ability, not age. I'm not taking sides in the arguments for and against Trump/Biden; but it is very important, to my mind, that individuals are fairly assessed and not stereotyped.
i do appreciate that people can be very capable when they are old but i think age limits should be imposed to prevent the onset of gerontocracy. otherwise you get a situation where the entire political system spends years in the grip of people who are extremely old and in decline... nancy pelosi mitch mcconnel joe biden donald trump.
