Every time he says anything about Biden being really old it always makes me think of my grandmothers.

My grandmother on my mother's side died at 80 with dementia. Meanwhile my grandmother on my father's side died at 99 and was basically perfectly normal and aware until about 2 weeks before her death, so age clearly isn't everything.

Also Trump is clearly suffering from some kind of neurological degenerate disease and wasn't exactly an competing in intellectual decathlons to begin with.

In addition, donnie does not seem to be doing anything at all to age well. Netflix has a series about living to 100; donnie seems to violate every single suggestion.

Well, but didn't you know that the human body has a finite amount of energy like a battery and you use it up doing sports? Donald Trump does.

Well according to my grandmother the trick was to not die. Also she used to bleach her cookware, but I suspect she lived to 99 despite that, rather than because of it.
