He'd be older than Biden if he decided to run again.

By about 6 months.

Ageism isn’t really a factor like it is in Australian politics.

Certainly not the “no chance” like you stated, considering Biden is proof it can be done.

Biden is only 3 years younger than John Howard and most of the Australian public thought JH over the hill in 2007. Keating was elected 29 years ago as PM and he’s a year younger than Biden.

You can’t rule anything out with Trump and his ego.

His age is irrelevant, it’s more relevant whether he could bounce back and win after losing an election. The only one to do it in modern US politics is Nixon.

Has there been many petitions yet for calling this election null & void due covid19 pandemic?

Ok. Biden is such a vision of health and vitality.

Ok?

He’s winning though isn’t he? As a 77 year old that will serve until he’s 81 years old. With rumors of the early onset of dementia to boot.

If anything you are proving my point.

Georgia is tightening like the noose around Trumps neck.

Part of me wants Trump to take all of Georgia, Pennsylvania and NC (Alaska is a given) to take him to 268 with Biden taking Nevada and Arizona to get him to 270. Trump shooting himself in the foot with his McCain comments being the decisive factor would be the ultimate poetic justice.

to be fair, AZ has turned Blue because the Sun belt has changed it's economy and drawing more younger and liberal people out there. Similar to silicon valley.

Plus a rapid growth of Hispanics in the state too who tend to lean Democratic (as opposed to Cuban Hispanics in Florida). Also why I think Texas will turn blue eventually.

Weird response, it's a very fair point being made. Crazy that his votes increased from 2016.

It's like the UK election being a second referendum on Brexit and the people resoundingly voting yes.

His votes in increased but not a whole % wise. Turn out increased.

Of course.. The number of people voting for Trump increased though.

That's like saying more people voted for him than Thomas Jefferson.

No, it's like saying the number of people who voted for him in 2016 increased despite four years of knowing exactly the sort of President he is. Which is the point of that tweet.

More than likely had those people been registered then they would have voted for him. The vote has remained relatively stable, just a decrease in votes for "others"

Stable is just as bad and is just as much a point of that tweet.

 

[99 Problems]

I think the most terrifying thing is how easily and quickly his supporters have bought in to the election being ‘stolen’ and what happens from here assuming Biden wins.

No one said it was a historical accident in the first place that he was voted in. So the tweet dies there.

That's what happens when you neglect the education system for faith based learning. I mean... there are people in Arizona saying stop the count despite him being behind. Morons.

Right..

Plenty have said that Trump represented a protest from people who felt oppressed under the political system and unheard. Plenty have said that people were deceived into voting for Trump thinking he would drain the swamp when he didn't.

Just as plenty said people voted for Brexit based on misinformation and lies.

Those people then voted for the same parties/outcomes the second time around.

Not sure why the tweet was so contentious. He got more votes than he did the first time around, that is an appalling indictment on an America happy to elect a racist.
