Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.
Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.
Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?
Don't you think he looks tired?
He's so old he requires a bandage the size of his ear for a 2 centimeter cut.
How long is he going to wear that maxi pad anyway?
Until the election, obviously.
~~bandage~~ Maxi pad
Ha, awesome doctor who reference
Keeps repeating himself over and over, and going off on some sort of delusion that he's been the actual president for the last four years
I saw parts of his RNC “speech” and he could barely string a coherent sentence together. Really low energy and kept falling asleep. He needs to drop out.
Well, in that case he’s as coherent as 10 years ago.
Even by donnie's standards, he's getting incoherent. And that's really saying something.
I know, it was just a low hanging fruit.
To be fair, you aren't wrong: his coherency had already substantially declined even back in 2016 (compared to e.g. interviews from the '80s and '90s).
Lol at that username
Everyone is saying it. Why, just the other day, a man ran up to me, tears in his eyes, and he said, "Sir! Sir! Why won't donnie drop out of the race? He's far too old and senile!"
It's true, more people are saying it every day. "Dozing Donald" they call him. So many people are calling him that, but he can't even hear them. It's sad.
Didn't Trump fall asleep during his trial and the convention?
We want a president who can stay awake.
I'm just asking questions. I think it's time that we had a president where you don't have to wonder about their health. A younger, vibrant person not old and decaying.
I heard Kamala Harris is so comfortable putting felons behind bars that she routinely works out in prison yards, lifting the heaviest weights they have. Huge men run up to her, with tears in their eyes, saying "Ma'am, your gainz are so huge."
