"You don’t have to wish me a happy birthday, because I’m not happy about that birthday. It’s a number that I never thought really too much about. It’s not a number I like, but I’m here nonetheless.” - a giant orange human-shaped piece of feces
he clearly didnt expect to live this long, which explains his complete lack of planning in anything whatsoever
being fair, nobody who's paying attention would've expected him to live this long either. You seen the way he eats? I've been expecting him to drop dead of a massive infarction every day for the past ten years and it still has not come to pass.
He's never planned anything ever. He's a malignant narcissist... he thinks everything will just work because of the force of his awesomeness, and when it doesn't it's because of evil sabotage.
So, now that he is turning 80, we will stop seeing references to his age in headlines and stories. The media kept emphasizing he was 79, not yet 80. Now, we'll never see mention of it again.
My grandfather at 80 was still driving to the nursing home to visit my grandma and to the local grocery store. He certainly was not capable at that age of doing anything more complicated than that.
my wife's grandfather drove until he was 93, had a cute little minivan he would drive 2 miles to the church, so he could pick up meals-on-wheels to deliver to the neighbors who weren't able to get out. Watched a 90+ year old deliver lunches to a bunch of 70-80 year olds lol, and he knew when it was time to hang it up and stop driving. Guy was a fantastic example of goodness.
It varies a lot at that age. My grandfather could still murder me at chess when he was well into his 90s, and I was a strong player back then. He also walked 5 miles a day, fast.
But my other grandfather was crippled by rheumatoid artritis and barely mobile in his 80s.

It’s perfectly normal for an 80 year old to have health issues
It isn’t to pretend he’s a god and lie about those issues. It isn’t normal to pretend this doesn’t affect their ability to do an important job too.

Trump does the least amount of work of any president in history and yet has done the greatest amount of damage

DonOLD and his mob of conservatives are very much like the kids that kick over sandcastles that other kids have constructed.

Yep, that's past when generally anybody honest with themselves retire.

It's not uncommon to have health issues at that age, but it's more common for 80-year-olds to not have obesity, dementia and incontinence.

They've never really had trouble lying before, now will be no different.

Dude does have 22 docs for his routine checkups. Being president has its perks.

Or he just never plans because he's a moron.

I mean if he wants to stop the shit show there's a simple solution.

glitches is not the word most of us would use here.

Malfunction is the only way he's ever functioned.

Maybe they should try turning him off, then on again.
Or even better, skipping the latter.

Boo boos, perhaps. Oopsie-poopsies, maybe. But yeah, not glitches. Those are what Glitch McConnel does.

Today I learned we could've saved my grandma from Alzheimer's if we had just factory reset her software. Good to know.

Let's test this theory and ask him for a 200 word summary of the meeting afterwards.
