"Biden old" put every Dem on the spot: Do you think he can seek another term, the way he's aging? It turned Democrats into liars.
"Trump old" doesn't do that.
Now, obviously, people will whatabout anything. Attack on corruption and you'll get some Hunter yadda yadda. But... (1/2)

"Trump Old" is true and obvious, and more people will see it, and I agree it won't register the same way "Biden Old" drumbeats did in 2024. That being said, nobody whose views+votes matter in 2028 will care about Biden by then.

Gonna piss people off with this take but: I don't see the strategy for Dems who bring this up. Trump is not (whatever he says) running for re-election. You are running against Vance or Rubio in 2028. Voters think "old president" and say "oh like the zombie you pretended could serve until age 87?"

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?
