I’m not ashamed to say that this story is just a quick way for me to gloat and say: “Ha ha ha” to Donald Trump, and all those people around him, who tried to use Joe Biden’s age against him.

Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican cohorts, did all that taunting and teasing about “Ole sleepy Joe Biden” and the fact that he’s up in age.

All that, in spite of the fact that Trump is only 2 years older than President Biden.

The fact of the matter is, Trump is 78 and Biden is 81 and both of them could stand to step aside and make room for some fresher and younger minds to take over.

So now that Joe Biden has left the race, thus doing the right thing for the nation, even some of those old farts who are still sitting on the fence about the election, can appreciate his patriotic gesture.

But whether they do or not doesn’t really matter, because now, the Democratic Party has been infused with a great big shot of adrenaline.

Their presidential candidate is now Kamala Harris, a mature, but much younger 59 year-old minority woman who is about to run circles around Trump’s chunky butt.

He did all that negative talk to the world, about Biden being old, now he’s the oldest thing in the race — if not in the entire room.

Now what Trump?

  • Do all the ugly and vile things you said, with respect to age and Biden being older, now apply to you?
  • Should voters on both sides, be looking at you now, and giving you the stink eye because you’re old as dirt?

For the record, I’m 66-years-old, so I clearly have no issue with old people. Some of my best friends are old 😄.

The point is, if ageism was made to be a negative focal point while Biden was still in the race, how can voters — even Republicans — suddenly dismiss the issue entirely?
