    Yeah, why post this old article?

    Is it because the political discourse in this nation has become so overwrought with hyperbole that historically common words and phrases are now so far divorced from their original meanings that election campaign rhetoric has developed its own patois not relevant to any other domain of normal life?

    Or maybe it’s to point out that old men often say random shit that shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

    These are the only two possible reasons I can think of.

        They’re not pretending. They saw the headline, didn’t read the article and someone on YouTube told them what to think. It’s not pretending.

    They both said the same word once. Context is irrelevant. Good catch. Keep digging. Maybe Biden also said some other words that Trump said in another context. You’re doing God’s work.
