Long-in-the-tooth President

Arguably, Trump's only great achievement as a president has been to make Americans accept that an old man leading a country isn't a problem.

That could have been until he began to contradict basic common sense when he recently made a bunch of demented suggestions like closing the border, bringing the asylum-seekers to San Francisco and New York or “re-branding” the Boeing 737 Max.

 I am 71, very active, thin, still pretty sharp and quite healthy, but I realize that I'd be far too old for holding such a big job and could only be of use in some kind of advisory role.

The same holds true, of course, for both Democrat Party candidates, Biden (76) and Sanders (77), that ought to take care of their grand-kids and pass the torch to young, energetic, middle-age men and women.

This is symptomatic of too many baby-boomers that won't quit at any cost, and are blocking younger generations for accessing jobs for which they'd be much more qualified, simply because they feel entitled to their post, want to amass even more wealth and are so selfish that it blinds them to nature's reality that there's a time for everything.

Let's quit voting for Trump-old candidates and choose young blood instead!
