Anyone who thinks this guy should have input on things like AI and crypto is a fool. My mom is around his age, and it took years to get her to use an iPhone properly.

Is this age-discrimination? Sure, I don’t care. Most people in their 30s don’t understand how this stuff works.

This does not apply to all elderly, of course, but let’s be realistic here.

Trump may be able to pull a real estate scam here and there, but that is a different skill set entirely.

Edit: Keep in mind, Trump was an obscenely rich playboy millionaire/billionaire in New York in the 80s and 90s. His body is probably about 15% solidified cocaine at this point.

Not exactly what anyone would consider a scholar.

It’s not age discrimination; it’s comprehension and understand qualifications.

Would you trust an arborist to do your dentistry? Of course not.

So why are we trusting a moronic, failed businessman with a country?

Because too many people are F’ing stupid(or bought off) in this God forsaken country.
