B-b-but he took a test that said he’s a stable genius! He had to identify cartoon animals and everything!!!
He said he aced the dementia test, he boasted to anyone that would listen. He said he has no issues spotting a cartoon giraffe or even remembering 5 words in a row.
“The cow says ‘Moo’”
“Great job Mr. Trump!”
<Surreptitiously hides spinning farm animal child’s toy>
You said boasted past tense, but it’s happened so recently I doubt he will ever stop boasting about it.
I would love it if that were an accurate description of a 5 year olds i.q. test
Edit* Wait, is it?
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
WTF. Are you rainman? You still remember today! You must be the smartest person on the planet!
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.
Dude, Clinton today is still younger than Trump and he was president 25 years ago.
Yes, that is what the graphic is pointing out. Trump is currently older than all of them except Biden.
Clinton was inaugurated in 1993. That’s 31 years ago. Taylor Swift was 3 years old when Bill Clinton became president.
That’s a 10:1 Taylor ratio.
It’s ok, its not metric
“How many taylor swifts old are our candidates? And more after the break”
Yeah, Metric didn’t start until 1998.
Yeah, well… I remember when you were gambling to win, everybody else said, “Better luck next time!”
When did Swift become a reference point for old? Now my back hurts.
Just for perspective in this case, I think
Mom, look, that’s the Matemagician they’ve been talking about!
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.
Everyone knows by now that Trump is the GOP. Grand Ole Papy.
Alternately …Pervert …Paedophile …Pendejo …Pumpkin
At this point I want Obama back
They don’t care. They don’t want a competent leader. They just want to win. They want a bit of dopamine.
He’s also the 3rd and 4th oldest candidate ever iirc.
all those “today” are unnecessary and confusing, alive people don’t pass each other in age
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.
Depends on the gravity and/or acceleration that they experience in their frame of reference.
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)
Why would they hide it? Biden’s not up for re-election.
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
Did the Democratic party announce his candidacy!?
I ain’t American but i thought they hadn’t announced on yet… Source that they did? Just so I can catch up. Thanks!
That’s their distinction between candidate and nominee. Biden was a candidate for 2024 presidential race but had not yet become the DNC nominee.
Oh sick. So he wasn’t a nominee yet.
Is trump the oldest nominee?!!
I think he is.
But I don’t know the ages of every failed campaign. It’s easy to check the winners, but there might have been someone even older that lost.
But I doubt it.
LOL!
You have made a big impact correcting this image. Although it would have been less partisan if you just said ‘nomineee… Not candidate.’
Lol… but you didn’t cos… Well I wonder why. Why didnt you?
I legitimately don’t even know what you’re asking…
I’m not sure they do, either.
Trump was nominated by his party at the RNC in July. The Democrats will nominate their candidate next month at the DNC, and that will be Harris. Biden is no longer running for president. Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest nominee ever, and Kamala Harris.
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…
I didn’t change anything, my post hasn’t been edited, unlike yours. I said nominee, and I specifically explained where Trump, Biden and Harris stand in the nomination process.
You even quoted me correctly: Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest **nominee ** ever, and Kamala Harris.
If you need time to make sense of it, take your time.
Are you sure there hasn’t been someone older that lost?
Not for the major parties: Reps and Dems. If there has been a candidate for some BS tiny party, I can’t say because I don’t have full history on the fools and nonsense that usually adorn all political cycles. I’m only speaking for the main parties for which we have info.
The original meme does say “candidate”.
I said nominee
Look at your post…
And btw, neither are the oldest candidate or nominee, there was an 84 year old back in the day.
Whatever you’re trying to say. You’re wrong
Dude, it even says nominee in your quote of his, he didn’t change it.
I thought the DNC didn’t name their candidate until after the convention. He was the presumptive candidate as the incumbent, but I didn’t think he had official candidacy yet.
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.
Ah, gotcha. I confused candidate and nominee since they’re often used interchangeably in the way you mentioned.
