DAILY MAIL NEWS
— Trump’s Age Newsworthy Today (COMMENT: How old are you? I am 75. How much has your health declined? As I get older, I ever-increasingly fight age discrimination. When I turned 40 in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with age discrimination. Even before that, I complained about their up-or-out policies. They wrote me off as being too old because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $118,439/year) before I was 25, to GS-14 (currently $136,414/year) before I was 30, to GS-15 (currently 160,458/year) before I was 35, and to Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) before I was 40. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer from IRS. They did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986. In defense of my age, I stress the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I continue to put together and send out each and every morning.)
https://dailyemailnews.com/trumps-age-newsworthy-today/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The former president’s age is currently front-and-center in the national landscape, as Donald Trump turns 78 today. Both he and 81-year-old Joe Biden are setting records as the oldest major-party candidates ever to run for U.S. president. The age and cognitive sharpness of both candidates have dominated the discourse this election cycle, overshadowing policy discussions as the November 5 election approaches. . .A February Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 78% of Americans, including 71% of Democrats, believe Biden is too old for government service. About 53% felt the same about Trump, who served as president from 2017 to 2021. “It’s not about age, it’s about mental competence,” commented Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, who stated Trump remains “sharp as a tack with elite stamina.” Presidential historian Timothy Naftali claimed that while Trump exudes energy in public, it does not necessarily correlate with mental acuity. “It’s not clear listening to the two men who’s in better command of his faculties,” he said. History professor Allan Lichtman noted that Trump’s own gaffes could raise concerns about his cognitive health.)
