Trump hits the Biden kid with a letter from his doctor

President Biden celebrated his 81st birthday on Monday looking worse for wear, and Donald Trump, three years his junior, took the opportunity to take a jab at the president: A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that the 67% of voters think Biden is too old. for work

The former president issued a statement from his personal physician. Dr. Bruce Aronwald, who said he has been Trump’s doctor since 2021, the doctor said he just did a “complete” exam on Sept. 13 and declared Trump to be in “excellent health.”

“I am pleased to report that President Trump’s general health is excellent. His physical examinations were within the normal range and his cognitive examinations were exceptional,” the letter said.

“Cardiovascular studies are all normal and cancer screening tests are negative. President Trump has kept his weight down through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity while maintaining a rigorous schedule,” Aronwald added. “It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health and, with his continued interest in monitoring and maintaining preventive health, will continue to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle for years to come.” years”.

Should Biden be re-elected, he would be 86 at the end of his term, assuming he serves a full term. Trump would be 83 at the end of a potential second term.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 45, commented on not only Biden’s age but also Trump’s during an appearance on CNN on Sunday. State of the Union.

“The presidency is not a job for someone who is pushing 80,” DeSantis said. “I just think that’s something that’s been proven with Joe Biden. Father Time is undefeated. Donald Trump is not exempt from any of that.

“I think that, with someone like me, you come in, I’m in the prime of my life, I’m going to the first day. I’ll do two terms, I’ll give great results and I’ll move the country again. That’s what Republican voters want to see” , he added.

On Monday, DeSantis called Biden “selfish” for running again during a Newsmax town hall, saying the president has “clearly missed a step” while noting that airline pilots must retire at 65 years.

Trump’s main rival said it would be an advantage for the GOP to field a younger candidate against Biden, just as it would be an advantage for Democrats if they eventually pair a younger choice against the 77-year-old former Republican president:

Clearly, Biden should not run again.

If you are an airline pilot, they make you retire at 65.

So if you somehow can’t fly a plane at 81, can you fly the United States of America? pic.twitter.com/yZzN1LMenv
