DeSantis: Presidency ‘not a job for someone that’s 80 years old’
The Hill ^ | 9.12.2023 | Bret Samuels

Posted on 09/12/2023 3:38:07 PM PDT by libh8er

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday suggested President Biden and former President Donald Trump may be too old to serve in the White House, saying in a new interview the presidency is “not a job for someone that’s 80 years old.”

DeSantis, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, told CBS News it’s justified for voters to have concerns about the age of presidential nominees.

“ I think that’s absolutely a legitimate concern. The presidency’s not a job for someone that’s 80 years old, and there’s nothing wrong with being 80,” DeSantis said. “Obviously, I’m the governor of Florida. I know a lot of people who are elderly. They’re great people.” “But you’re talking about a job where you need to give it 100 percent. We need an energetic president,” he continued. “And I think that if the founders could kind of look at this again, I do think they probably would have put an age limit on some of these offices.”

“We need an energetic president,” he continued”

No retard, we do not. We do not need someone senile, but we actually need a President not to be in our face 24/7 coming at us with one bad idea after another.

DeSantis showed himself to be a backstabbing opportunist, way to closely tied in to the GOPe. I haven’t seen any deficiency in Trump.

Somebody tell DeJeb that stolen elections have consequences.

Trump would be just about done with his 8 years without having to run against, and outpoll, a young and up and coming meatball like DeJab..

Ron is sounding more and more desperate, and it’s still only 2023.

I will never vote for Ron-duh-santis, ever. he is not a good leader, he is a follower, signs what he is told to, says what he is told to, likely has to find out from his wife what clothes to wear for the day.

whoever had him run really is trying to take out 2 at a time (Ron-duh and Trump)

Gon DeSantis...

He just doesn’t get it.

He is not the man we need right now. The more he ignores
that fact, the less he means to me in the future. I’m
almost to the point of saying I’ll never support him in
the future.

Can’t he grasp that his numbers are pathetic compared to
Trump’s?

It’s like these folks who want to launch a 14th Amendment
opposition to deny Trump on the ballots.

Since when should half a dozen men in each state be able
to deny 75 million people their first choice?

Why should Gon’s team be able to nullify Trump’s chances
based on his biased opinion?

Sit down. Shut the _ up Gon.

Bad judgment on DeSantis’ part. It looks like ageism and a lot of voters are sensitive to this issue (for example, many employees over 45).

It’s not age; it’s the number of synapses still operating in a person’s head.

In Traitorjoe’s head the number of flickering synapses are down to a single digit (in the binary system).

Trump isn’t 80 jackarse. What a desperate loser this guy is. Opens his mouth and each time he polls lower.

Not a job for a corrupt, senile man. There are many 80 year olds who can do much better jobs than Kinzinger, swallwell, AOC, Fetterman. If there is stamina, and wisdom, age has very little to do with it.
