When asked how old was too old to be president, US president DonaldTrump said the other candidates makes him look like 'very young'.
Washington - President Donald Trump was asked by reporters outside the White House on Friday how old was too old to be president.
Trump was half-joking when he declared that he felt like a young man. At 72, he isn't, though he is slightly younger than Biden, 76. Corny machismo is a feature of the pair's relationship, with each at various points suggesting that they could beat the other in a fistfight. It goes broader than that for Trump, though, who regularly insists on his own stamina and resilience.
Former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke, 46, is known for jumping up on tables to give speeches at campaign events. It's hard to imagine Trump doing something similar. We can illustrate that problem simply. The General Social Survey that's now conducted every two years has been asking Americans since 1973 if men are better suited to politics than women. In 1973 - the year that Biden was first sworn in as a senator - 44 percent of Americans felt that they were, including 40 percent of Democrats.
