People consider both candidates old but when they see Biden standing next to Trump, they will see just how much older looking Biden is vs Trump. This will reinforce people’s image of Biden as being not up for the job and declining.

BTW, Trump is the 1st President I can remember who didn’t appear to age dramatically over their 1st 4 years in office.



*Update after debate*

quote:

Trump looked more telegenic and projected strength and confidence. Biden looked old, weak, and was searching for words as he babbled

People can see who is up for the job vs someone who calls it a day after 9:00am

Biden looks like he's the one that aged. 30+ years.
That's some MAGA voodoo!

Trump is the only president I've ever seen that was not massively aged by the job. It's crazy considering what he's had to deal with

He thrives on it. Loves the rallies and crowds. Loves improving our nation and the world. He is a great man.

I had not considered this angle, but we saw the articles several weeks back explaining how the Biden campaign had engaged Hollywood special effects teams to "de-age" Biden in his campaign ads.

It'll be interesting to see how bad the comparison comes off.

Because most of our fraud Presidents never had a real job before being placed into office. Trump has been busting his arse all of his life. Nothing new.

Trump need to bring the high energy and just slam Biden over and over again. Anytime Biden looks tired Trump should offer to call it a night so Biden can turn in.

$70,000 in hair styling and spray tan helps with that

it is patently ridiculous though that we are choosing between two men who should be long retired from public office. whatever you think of trump or biden, they are both too old
