Trump, 78, says ‘only stupid people put old’ people in top federal roles
Trump, 78, says ‘only stupid people put old’ people in top federal roles
Trump is currently the oldest nominee for president in US history and, if elected in November, will be 82 years old when he completes his term
The guy is so fucking delusional it isn't funny. He was always a dumbass even back in the 80s.
every accusation is a confession
Every accusation is a 40-minute impromptu concert to cover a dementia-addled man's sudden confusion by what all these people are doing in his house
Lol .... at this point they should just put him in a room full of about a hundred of his supporters and tell their leader that he is emperor of the United States. Then just feed them all AI generated CNN news broadcasts of his nation doing everything he wants. Let them all live like this until they die ..... none of them would probably notice the difference.
In the meantime, the rest of could go about our lives trying to save humanity on this planet.
Well shit, we knew that
He's talking about how long young people will last on the supreme court. Still gross, but this article is click-baity and dumb with its premise.
The title is basically a blatant lie, easily shown to be deceptive simply by reading the article.
Yet look at this comments section and how many people have bought the deception hook, line, and sinker.
We shit on Republuicans for being idiots who support Trump, which is true, but it's almost like we are trying to out-stupid them.
it's almost like we are trying to out-stupid them.
Well I wouldn't go that far lol
Ok, imagine Joe Biden said it.
Imagine the histrionics.
Yeah, it's a bad look essentially saying you should only put young justices on the SCOTUS in order to control it for longer. However, that is not a dumb thing to say. It's logical if your goal is control, which his obviously is. It's why the lifetime appointments are so bad. It encourages putting young, less qualified justices on the court instead of older, potentially more qualified ones.
It would still be a dumb article.
It applies and should apply no less to the most powerful office and single person in the world
No, it doesn't apply, at least not for the same logic. He didn't say that because the older people are less capable. He said it because a younger person will give you control for longer most likely. They're lifetime appointments, so the logical choice for maintaining control is to appoint healthy young people, not the most qualified people.
Especially since that person would probably love to remove the term limit so he can stay in power
Yeah I'm not arguing that. But the point is different... He's talking about longevity, not acumen.
That was a loaded headline, since he was referring only to Supreme Court judges who get to stay in for as many decades as they'd like.
"loaded"? Lol. It's a blatant lie.
What an absolutely fucking ridiculous comparison...
I hate defending Trump, but this is the difference between LIFETIME appointments vs maybe 4 years, 8 tops for president... He's absolutely correct, you're an idiot if you choose an old person to be a judge for SCOTUS since you open up the possibility of them being replaced sooner...
In a world that isn't completely corrupted by partisan hacks we shouldn't care who ends up on the court, but because of billionaires we don't get to have that world...
BE BETTER MEDIA ASSHATS.
:/
I hate defending Trump, but
Then don't. You aren't obligated to defend him.
I disagree with his sentiment. Higher turn over on the Supreme Court is part of the proposed Supreme Court reform.
Defending him because "nuance" is stupid, he doesn't have any, why project it on him? What has he done to earn it? This is how narcissists maneuver -- people's eagerness to see their good side; it doesn't exist for the narcissists.
Then don’t. You aren’t obligated to defend him.
Really they are just defending honest assessments of facts. Unfortunately, because the title of the article is so disgustingly disingenuous and blatantly misleading, it led a lot of people to believe his statement is blatantly hypocritical. . .so by pointing out reality you are actually "defending Trump."
You are all but admitting that reality doesn't matter. Sounds exactly like Trump supporters. Please don't be like them.
Just because he's an asshole doesn't make what he said wrong. I'm more angry at "the media" for trying to make something out of nothing for clicks. Their comparison is stupid.
Nothing ever good starts with
I hate defending trump
self-own!
