You are not allow to drive a car at 80 but you are allow to steer a country at 80. The most powerful truck is being driving by a 80 year old. Pray for the pedestrians.

Both Biden and Trump are too old and it’s shameful these two are the best American can offer.

As of 2021, only 17% of the U.S. population is above 65 years old. This man belongs to that less than 20%, how’s he supposed to represent and advocate for the U.S. when he doesn’t even belong to the age group of 80% of the population?!
