How come they don't go after Trump's age?

Why don’t the GOBer candidates or right wing media bring this issue up? All they do it talk about Biden’s age!

I certainly would want a president whose age is better than a goofy deranged criminal mindless childish racist lying rapist idiot!

Biden is the president who is getting things done, treating others with compassion and respect!

He has no faults, including age. Anyone they oppose is subject to every insult they can imagine, some have tinge of truth so they land a little harder.

cart for exercise, has the mind of a child and with his diet he could have massive stroke or heart attack at any minute.
But the media seems to have to give Biden's age every time they mention his name. The Republicans only have two issues
to run on Biden's age and Hunter Biden.

Older, obese men don’t live as long.

Especially ones that continually eat fried chicken and greasy cheeseburgers.

Jon McNaughton and Ben Garrison both love to depict Trump in various idealized guises. Whether Trump appears as a Biblical or secular hero (e.g. David, George Washington) or in Garrison's infamous "Trump fantasy physique"--100 pounds lighter and 40 years younger--the effect is at once comical (for us) and delusional (on the part of Trump's followers).

10. Trump is 77

When he was arrested in New York he was weighed and measured at 6-1, 274 lbs. But that was almost certainly with shoes on, so he's really 5-11, 270 lbs with an unhealthy diet and no regular exercise routine.

Joe Biden is 80, he's 5-11, 180 lbs and wakes up early every morning to work out. He eats healty and keeps active. Biden is going to live much longer than Trump. And people mistake his battle with a speech impediment as age related difficulty pronouncing some words, but I admire Biden for how he doesn't let his speed impediment stop him.

years old, if not 1,000, or for all we lesser beings know he may be effectively immortal, so there's nothing to worry about now, when he's for all intents and purposes still in his youth.

Plus, he's invincible and immune from all diseases, and the wisest and most intelligent sentient being in the entire universe, so you see, it wouldn't matter even if he was already 200 years old.

Or at least that's the impression I get from his supporters.

If you watch both candidates move and speak, Trump does not show the same traits that Biden does. Trump just makes an ass of himself every time he opens his mouth. It has nothing to do with the clarity Bidens mind. All of the polls show that people are concerned about Biden's age.

It's a deflection strategy, just like the Hunter Biden story. There will be many others before this is over.
We need to be smarter about this, and we need to prepare a few strategies of our own.

I don’t recall them going after his age either. I do recall them going after Biden for his age. This seems to be universal among the media.

His hair is only 40 years old.

Maybe if Biden dyed his hair, put a dead animal on his head and spray tanned his face people would think he's young.

Trump without the fake hair and orange makeup might actually look like a normal guy in his late 70's
