Donald Trump is now the oldest party nominee for president in US history

  • At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
  • Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
  • If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris’ age could be an advantage against Trump.

I think Kamala should take Trump up on that cognitive test offer he wanted to take with Biden.

And it’s hosted in Alabama.

And not the Gulf Shores. Central Alabama. Home of 183% humidity.

BetaBlake ,

Hey I’m there and I agree, right here right now would be a hilarious time to see him try to play golf

kboy101222 ,

As your neighbor slightly to the north, you have my deepest sympathies. My aunt had to find temp housing up in Michigan cause it’s too hot, even with the AC on blast.

Funnily enough she’s staying with this gay couple that rented out their basement to her.

Her KKK husband must be running in his grave, cause they seem to be getting along great!

Donald does. And he would not take losing well.

That’s why he will never do it.

@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

If he’s not willing to do what it takes to be elected, he should just quit now.

Careful there. Next thing you know all his cult followers will be running around in straitjackets as a show of support.

cheese_greater ,

Everybody’s talking about how they can’t even see the tears in his eyes cuz it looks like his eyelids are practically sewn shut

Zipitydew ,

Dementia Don is my vote.

Mouselemming ,

As a nickname, yes. For POTUS, hell no.

Zipitydew ,

Oh of course. I just know he does the alliteration thing for insulting others because he’s dumb and his base is too. Which unfortunately makes it effective.

So giving ole Diaper Don some alliterative handles is both too easy and fun. There are tons of options and I’m sure Dumbass Don would love to hear them all.

drcobaltjedi ,

Don poorleone apparently really irks him.

Zipitydew ,

Fantastic choice. I keep forgetting that one.

tdawg ,

Loaded phrase

TexasDrunk ,

I prefer Drowsy Don but I’m all in on whatever all y’all decide as long as it has alliteration.

Mouselemming ,

Hell, he probably said it himself during that interminable incoherent ramble he called an acceptance speech. Nobody noticed because everyone’s ears had gone numb by then.

Kalkaline ,
@Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

He’s already having issues with his speech and he keeps doing these weird tangential rants that don’t make any sense.

snooggums ,

He has been doing this aince 2016 and it has only gotten worse!

eran_morad ,

He should drop dead.

dditty ,

Beat me to it. Yup - he should drop dead and then rest in piss.

At least his sentences are coherent /s

It’s fucking wild that conservatives listen to Trump and hear an intelligent and coherent person.

@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

I expect that they are hearing but not listening

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He said this in 2016:

Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

He was still elected.

I love these transcripts, they always sound like a conversation some rambling old man is having with his hospice nurse.

Ok Mr. Trump, very good. Now take your medications.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I wish to point out that he was in his early 70s at the time, generally a bit early for that level of impairment.

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

generally a bit early for that level of impairment.

Well, assuming the impairment is age-related and not just, you know, built in

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

True, although if you watch him over the years, especially between 2016 and now, there’s been a huge amount of noticeable cognitive decline.

He forgot his own wife’s name. He called her Mercedes.

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Yeah it’s true that while he was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, he does seem to have gotten a lot worse fairly quickly. Might be COVID, it’s been linked to cognitive decline and I’ve definitely seen that in my own parents who are no spring chicken

This article is seven years old now, but it sticks in my memory all the same: French translator Bérengère Viennot on the difficulties of trying to represent Trump's manner of speech in another language

It’s like an LLM is responding to a Markov chain with an LLM-generated Markov chain.

BlemboTheThird ,

I doubt most of them listen to him at all. They listen to Fox or Newsmax or whatever social media, who only cherrypick the fragments that sound vaguely coherent, and conversely only played the pieces of Biden’s speeches that were incoherent. They either don’t realize or don’t care that they’re not looking at the whole picture.

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Honestly I think it’s just that they don’t care: Trump is the Führer and everything he does is perfect

tdawg ,

No, it’s that they hear someone they understand. “He says it like it is,” is white people speak for “his words aren’t confusing me.” Bc really all Don ever does is tell a story like a trailer park kid. It speaks to their biases and emotions and that’s all they care about

limelight79 ,

I actually laughed the first time I heard a Trump fan claim Biden was incoherent. I honestly thought they were kidding.

Nope, dead serious. “Have you ever heard Trump talk?” Silence.

    ImpressiveEssay ,

    And that’s before all the laws he broke… And trying to undermine the American constitution… And the changing the system so he could be immune.

    Let’s not forget those things too.

    On TOP! Of him being far too old.

    OldWoodFrame ,

    I just walked my dog past a big red pickup truck with stickers that had a picture of Biden with “I just shit my pants” and “BLM: Biden Loves Minors” (so classy) and it really struck me how extremely Biden focused the Republican memes have been.

    Like we used to have “Pelosi is secretly running things” or like even Mitt Romney was running against Obama but his attacks were about Democrats as a whole, they were tax and spend liberals building the nanny state.

    The flip side to Trump’s immature style is that it IS extremely specific, and like you can’t just go “actually it’s Meatball Nikki Haley.” Obviously you can invent different immature nicknames and memes but it is hard to telegraph them with the convention out of the way.

    limelight79 ,

    I just saw a headline that Trump appears to be upset because he’s spent so much time and money fighting Biden, and none fighting Harris or other potential candidates.

    I laughed.

    Nastybutler ,

    Yeah he actually “Truthed” (lol) that he thinks the Dems owe him compensation for Joe dropping out due to all the money his campaign has spent attacking Joe. What a cunt

    limelight79 ,

    HAHAHAHAHA. That is hilarious.

    kibiz0r ,

    It boggles my mind. If you tallied up all the cars that have Biden’s name or picture on them, I bet they’d be overwhelmingly owned by MAGA folks. Why???

    Ew he should resign

    Oh no, it seems you didn’t get the memo! Commenting on a candidates physical year count and mental decrepitude is now ageist and forbidden. Please be better in the future. - CNN

    John_McMurray ,

    No, Biden was the nominee, just because he resigned doesn’t mean he never was
