Is it 45 now? It was back in March that the first lady herself, Jill Biden, asked how many 30-year-olds could keep up with her husband?
REPORTER: "What do you say to those people who say, 'maybe he's too old to be President?'"

The answer is, of course, all of them. A nine-hour nap on a train? Sounds doable.
I'm always amused at the people who argue that everyone is worried that Joe Biden is too old to run for president again but no one talks about Donald Trump's age. There's an obvious reason for that … Trump doesn't give us any reason to worry about his age. He's actively campaigning and holding rallies when he's not in a courtroom. Biden, on the other hand, gets confused a lot, mumbles during speeches, and has to be led around to know where he's supposed to be.
MSNBC's Mike Barnicle, though, says a 45-year-old couldn't do what Biden does every day.

45 years of age? I’m in my 70s , and I could easily do what Biden does every day: call a lid by 9:00 am, take every weekend off, go on vacation 45% of the time, and stumble through reading a teleprompter.

Easy peasy.
He’s right, though not in the way he thinks. A younger person would be able to speak coherently, walk without stumbling, or falling, and walk up the “big” stairs on Air Force One.

Fall asleep at meetings, slur my words, and wander around like an asylum patient? I could try.

That's right.

Someone 45 couldn't trip up the stairs, get lost, lose his words, have no idea what job he does and show signs of elderly-onset dementia like Biden does every single day.
What else is an 80 year old “journalist” supposed to say about an 80 year old president?

Hell, I could spend half my time on vacation at 45 and not break a sweat. And even climb stairs standing up. Might not even need to sleep through meetings. Cashing large Chinese checks wouldn't tire me at all.

Looks like the message went out and they’re all in on Biden. 😂

Yeah, they know Biden's age is a big concern among the electorate, and time is running out to swap in Gavin Newsom. I do hope they stick with Biden, who'd be 86 at the end of his second term.

I think it was The Daily Beast that ran a piece called, "Biden is old. Deal with it."
We are dealing with it, as are his handlers, who keep the press at bay and lead him around.
