What’s going on? The same thing that happened with Biden:
The guy is 79 and working one of the toughest jobs in the world and also chooses to stay up late at night ranting like a lunatic. The job ages everyone who takes it. Doing the job at 79 is very different than doing it at 50 or 60.
The hamberders probably don't help either.
Doing a lot of anything for most at that age is taxing, but he's not doing the job other modern Presidents have done, by far. Any worry or anxiety he has is all about helping himself out, nothing to do with the country. I hope it's not a very long time, but I do hope it's a slow, painful burn on the way down. We need a bit of karma right now.
Not disagreeing, but it seems like he’s in some way indebted or beholden to Putin, and I’ll grant that that’s got to be terrifying. Especially given that he’s becoming less and less helpful a person to keep around as his popularity sinks and his influence shrinks.
The job does age people, but it ages people that do it. I wouldn't equate Trump's "doing the job" with any of his predecessors "doing the job". Then again, there is something to be said for how much work goes into constantly being negative, it's a 24/7 mental and emotional battle to fight everyone and everything. That takes a toll.
