Fun fact: Donald Trump, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton all were born in the first year of the Baby Boom (1946-1964), all three within a ten-week period during June-August 1946.

The U.S. will have a stretch of at least 28 years, 1993-2021, in which the President will be a baby boomer (Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump), all born within a 16-year period (1946-1961).

The longest stretch of presidents all born in such a short time period was 32 years, 1961-1993, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, all born within a 17-year period (1908-1924).

Oddly, the birth years in between those two runs, the 21 years of 1925-1945, have produced no presidents, the longest such drought in U.S. history.

I’m talking about the demographic shift in the population - not the folks running for office.

You’re seeing my comment from the viewpoint of the elite powerful... that’s not where I’m coming from.
