• 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.

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

        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

        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.

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

        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.
