Ruth As an 90-year-old, I am not confident that people only somewhat younger than me should be running our government. The position of president of the United States is a stressful 24/7 responsibility.
I have considerable wisdom that comes from boots-on-the-ground experience. What I lack is the sustained energy to keep pace with what I could easily have handled a few decades earlier.
These ‘age factor’ comments certainly apply to Trump and could well apply to President Biden.
And should apply equally to both candidates. I was dismayed in 2020 that all we got were two old white guys. Biden did far, far more than I thought he could, and I came to believe that it was his age and experience that allowed him to make so much progress.

And Trump's team? Do they inspire confidence and admiration?
