    Mentally speaking few 30 year olds could keep up with Trump. Physically speaking, different story.

      Let's look at what he goes through.
      The stress
      The media
      The travel
      The getting chit done even with all this.
      Ever fly to the east coast to the west? How do you feel after? You ready to go party after the trip? He did three rally's yesterday and two today. All in different states.
      Sleeps 4 hrs. All the 30 year olds I know have to have their sleep. Ever call your buddy at 8am? Lol.
      Seriously, with all the stress alone a lot of people would be spun out. Just my opinion.

        Fresh blood might make for a bit of a shake up - maybe even cause a bit of chaos - but y'know I ain't sure that'd be such a bad thing.

        I reckon 40, max, maybe even 35.

        I want this chick to be my PM.

        In the USA a Presidential candidate must be a MINIMUM of 35 years of age. Wisdom is an attribute acquired over time by observing and experiencing life. This is one reason people tend to become more settled and conservative the older they become.

          Especially when you consider the life expectancy when the minimum of 35 was set. "Adjusted for inflation" that's probably closer to 50 or so in today's terms

            Ha ha I know, man, I was kinda joking, but there's also a point in there. There's a balance to be struck and youthful idealism and passion can be a powerful force for good that's sometimes overlooked or dismissed as we get older and more comfortable.

            Change - occasionally radical change - is needed in the world sometimes, man, and you might argue that the time ain't now and the place ain't here, but if not then when and where?

            Too much change can lead to chaos and disorder, man, but too much conservatism can lead to stagnation and entropy.

              Nothing wrong with youthful enthusiasm or change that improves things. I suppose what I was getting at is that older people are more likely to think things through than say a younger person. What I'm saying is of course a generalization as I've know some wise younger people in my life and some old fools as well.

                I wonder very seriously if Pelosi isn’t proposing the 25th amendment not so much to antagonize Trump but for a real need of it if Biden gets elected.

                  Idk, I feel like it's our fault for voting for them. Not their fault for being old. We should be deciding who is too old by voting rather than by regulating imo

                    So you don't think there should be a minimum age either?

                      Most people also don’t have a team catering to them 24-7 and doing all the leg work behind the scenes. I get it, it’s a busy job, but he’s still an old man.
