Donald Trump, a 78-year-old former US President, declared his plans to run for President in 2024, becoming the oldest candidate in the country's history. The Hill highlights these events by focusing on Trump's health.
The Democratic Party veteran Max Burns draws attention to the fact that Trump is no longer the person he had been before. The former president often confuses names, ends the sentence and has problems with memory. According to Burns, these problems were well documented, in particular, during the investigation of events on January 6, 2021, when Trump seems to be unable to remember what he had been doing or with whom they talked for most of the day.
Trump has repeatedly stated that all presidential candidates should take a cognitive test, regardless of age. However, now that he has become a candidate, these words are of particular importance. The former President often confuses the incumbent President Joe Biden with Barack Obama, which is concerned about voters.
Kamala Harris, a US Vice President, who is almost 20 years younger than Trump, is actively leading a pre-election campaign. Her energy and activity on the background of Trump look contrasting, emphasizing the age -old differences between candidates.
According to a survey published in The Hill, 60% of Americans believe that Trump is too old to take a presidential position. More than half of the voters who monitored the debate between Trump and Biden believe that the former president should concentrate on their mental health and refuse to participate in the election campaign.
