    Leave it to Trump to try and suggest that 79 is “young”, rather than play up the wisdom and experience angle. I’m not sure how anyone can support a leader who consistantly denies objective reality in the name of fluffing his ego. But there are a lot of reasons to deny Trump the presidency long before something as relatively small as his hubris. Well, small relative to being a known rapist and convicted felon, anyway.

      Let me guess, they plan to push retirement age to 90 or later? Full retirement age for Social Security starts at 67 (since 1960).

      Trump playing ‘the wisdom and experience angle’ seems like a great strategy. I wish he goes for it!
