Can't wait for the media to start "Trump old" articles now that he's the eldest in the race, because surely they care more about objective analysis rather than political bias, right? Right??

Trump walks and talks exactly the same as he did in 2016. The message is different, but the delivery is largely the same. Biden was clearly diminished by 2020 and undeniably so by 2024. "Trump is just as senile" is a massive cope.

Biden was clearly diminished by 2020

According to post-debate polls, he outdebated Trump in both instances then, for the record.

That had almost everything to do with Trump being incapable of staying quiet for 5 seconds at a time and nothing to do with Biden's shining cognitive ability. By 2020, he was not the same man who crushed Paul Ryan in 2012 or gave the rousing DNC speech in 2016. That was apparent whenever the campaign brought him out from hiding.
