  • Donald Trump and his MAGA backers relished deriding Joe Biden for his age, mocking his mistakes and questioning his mental acuity, but was it a case of pot, kettle, black?

The article from The Nightly discusses concerns about Donald Trump's health as he potentially faces another term as the oldest president ever sworn in, should he win the 2025 election. At 78 years old, Trump's age raises questions about his physical and mental fitness for office, especially given the demanding nature of the presidency. The piece highlights Trump's past health issues, including his hospitalization for COVID-19, his diet, and lack of regular exercise, juxtaposed against his claims of being in excellent health. It also touches on the broader implications of an aging leader, referencing historical precedents and the current political climate where age and health are increasingly scrutinized. The article notes that while Trump's campaign dismisses these concerns, experts and voters alike are contemplating the risks associated with electing someone of his age, particularly in light of the rigorous demands of the presidency and the potential for health-related incapacitation.
