Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I'm sorry to be pedantic, but wasn't he always older than her father? Like, that's how age works.
You should absolutely be pedantic about a paid, published article having writing like that. It’s not some random internet comment from someone who may or may not have graduated high school, this was approved by multiple people who allegedly went to college for the writing related jobs they have. It should at least pass the “does this make sense if you think about it at all for more than 5 seconds” test.
And yeah I know reporters and writers facing the same overwork/underpay squeeze as everyone else. This is more about the corporations that run these papers and magazines being responsible for things deteriorating to this point.
I think you could also read it as "was already [so old he was] older than her father."
That's the same reading. That doesn't change the meaning at all. Am I taking crazy pills?
It highlights the age gap between her and Trump by using her father's age as a reference point. People are joking about how it sounds like they're saying the age gap between her father and Trump has changed over time as if they age at different rates.
Folks know that the author was trying to point out the age gap. But it was really poorly written, and they're criticizing that writing.
I dunno, the person I replied to originally seems to be losing their mind over this even though it makes sense even if a bit clunky and if everyone knows what they're trying to say then is it really that bad? Conveying meaning is the entire point of language and it seems to have done the job.
I used to be older than my little brother.
I still am, but I used to, too.
I’m a simple man, I see Mitch Hedberg, I upvote Mitch Hedberg.
Well done. 👏🏻
No, he paid for age reduction surgery in 2017.
I'd say they should give him his money back, but we all know he never paid the bill in the first place.
Odds are that someone did at som point, and it technically constituted a felony
That's the thing where you bleed yourself down and transfuse the blood of a young person, right?
My dad stopped aging in 2015
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you, that's very sweet of you. While my statement was a bit tongue-in-cheek, if I live to see my 60th birthday, I'll officially be older than my father ever was.
Maybe it's one of those "at the time, Trump was older than my father ever was" kind of statements
Way too young. RIP, wishing you health.
Could be older then...Than her father is now... But who knows.
That's how i interpreted it too. Still odd
Maybe they meant "already older then than her father's current age?" They probably didn't, and I'm too lazy to fact check that, but agreed, what a weird comment to add to the article
