Other than having positions that I agree with, the most important thing that I want in a commander in chief is someone who has mental acuity and stamina and they are not the same thing. Obviously I don’t want a brain dead chief executive like Magoo but I also want one that is mentally alert for at least 12 hours a day. Magoo is apparently only seemingly awake from 10 to 4. For anything other then that he needs to sleep all day and then get shot up with speed to get through a night time appearance.
And when I talk about stamina, I’m not talking about running a marathon or even a 10K, I’m talking about being at full mental competence, I’m talking about being awake and cogent to perform the functions of the office. I don’t care if the president is in a wheelchair or riding a scooter. I just want him or her to be cogent every day all day.
Age isn’t the issue. There are many people older than Magoo that are still incredibly cogent. Magoo isn’t and his mobile skills aren’t the issue.
So let’s stop talking about age and pretending that Magoo should be given a pass because he and Trump are old. I’m almost as old as they are and am still mentally acute all day everyday. Trump is active and cogent all day everyday. Magoo is not mentally acute any day. Listen he was stupid for all his life and he hasn’t gotten better with dementia.
