He said he aced the dementia test, he boasted to anyone that would listen. He said he has no issues spotting a cartoon giraffe or even remembering 5 words in a row.

You said boasted past tense, but it’s happened so recently I doubt he will ever stop boasting about it.

Also those words would never be used for a memory evaluation, they are too closely related, I believe he was just naming what he could see.

Numerically, yes. But some people age considerably fast in other regards. Prince William and Nicki Minaj are the same age. Beyonce and Elijah Wood? Same age. John Cena and John Oliver. Same.

It’s all just a play to be able to say when Biden took office, when they don’t on the others. The wording makes it seem like they say the same for all.

Tries to hide the fact that Biden is still older than Trump (which should come as no surprise to anyone)

It’s clarifying that trump isn’t just older than their age when they took office, he’s older than their current age.

Surelly the additional gravitational force felt by Trump due to his outsided ego has accelerated his aging?!

Biden was a candidate up till a few days ago. So Biden is still the oldest candidate ever.

trump might grab the “oldest nominee ever” because he’s born a couple months later than Biden.

Similarly, trump took office at 70 years and 220 days in 2016, so he could also grab “oldest to enter office”, that record is held by 2020 Biden at 78 years, 61 days in the unfortunate case he wins.

I know it’s just a meme. But it’s worth the accuracy of being pedantic.

Edit:

Nope, not even the oldest nominee:

Dude was 84, which means neither Biden or trump have been the oldest nominee/candidate.

But Biden still has record for oldest president

That’s their distinction between candidate and nominee. Biden was a candidate for 2024 presidential race but had not yet become the DNC nominee.

I thought the DNC didn’t name their candidate until after the convention. He was the presumptive candidate as the incumbent, but I didn’t think he had official candidacy yet.

It’s candidate (multiple for each party) then after the convention, they become the “nominee” (one per party).

It’s confusing because the party keeps trying to act like primaries are over after the first handful of states vote.

So for months they’re talking about a candidate like it’s the only option, but they’re still not the nominee.

Ah, gotcha. I confused candidate and nominee since they’re often used interchangeably in the way you mentioned.

Trump was nominated by his party at the RNC in July. The Democrats will nominate their candidate next month at the DNC, and that will be Harris. Biden is no longer running for president. Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest nominee ever, and Kamala Harris.

You keep saying “ever” and I do not think that word means what you think it means…

Biden was a candidate up until a week ago, and he’s 3.5 years older than trump. The only way trump beats it is if he runs in 2028, which he prob will.

But until then, Biden is the oldest presidential candidate ever.

Edit:

Now that you changed it to nominee…

Are you sure there hasn’t been someone older that lost?

You switched gears pretty quickly, so I don’t think you out in the legwork or check this either…

I didn’t change anything, my post hasn’t been edited, unlike yours. I said nominee, and I specifically explained where Trump, Biden and Harris stand in the nomination process.

You even quoted me correctly: Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest **nominee ** ever, and Kamala Harris.

If you need time to make sense of it, take your time.

Are you sure there hasn’t been someone older that lost?

Not for the major parties: Reps and Dems. If there has been a candidate for some BS tiny party, I can’t say because I don’t have full history on the fools and nonsense that usually adorn all political cycles. I’m only speaking for the main parties for which we have info.
