NYT: This article is too late. By focusing on Biden and only Biden, the NYT has given Trump a pass for WAY too long.

[disgruntledpelican]

Our media is disgraceful. Trump has gotten a free pass on the elderly age question UNTIL NOW.

[Thugsy]

For me it has nothing to do with his age. Its his horrible behaviors and the fact that he LIES regularly and is unfit to be in charge

[mcgoo]

This should have been a headline two years ago. Where TF have you been?

[ziziroberts]

Age? He's been a conniving crook his entire adult life.

[ronkirk]

I'm 74, but IMO a 78 year old candidate is too OLD to be running our country especially when he is in such poor mental and physical condition AND the VP candidate, with only 2 years experience in the senate, is so unqualified to assume the presidency if necessary.

[katem.]

Finally the NYT sees the wild rants and garbled facts emitted by Trump. Biden still has a coherent thought process and cares for our nation- but the NYTimes blasted Biden over and over. It’s about time.

[Cathie]

People need to start getting it into their heads that JD Vance could be president. That Fred Waterford/ Gilead person should be nowhere near the White House.

[BMinus]

Biden is old and made an occasional “old guy” mistake, but in any case he was smart enough to know when to step aside. In contrast, Trump really seems to have “something wrong” upstairs. Huge difference

[jaytm]

And he made fun of Joe Biden. Joe's more coherent now than Trump ever was.

[Yann-wufk]

Trump isn't just old. He has dementia and other serious mental health issues. Please give the psychiatrists a platform to speak out about the facts of Donald Trump's mental health.

[WilliamVega-ctqw]

And yet we have idiots in our country that think this nut can be our president. Scary!!!

Harris Walz 2024! Its a no brainer!💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊

[PatyRamírez-zz]

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

[TheTruthHz]

Finally. It's taken long enough for the MSM to start talking about this. DonOLD is TOO old.

[paulford]

Veterans for Harris-Walz!
Trump's Project 2025 plan would massively cut veterans health care benefits.
We need Harris and Walz to save veterans lives!💙

[malonesinclaire]

It’s about bloody time this was brought forward. What a failure American media is.

[Columbiastargazer]

trump is more insecure, tiresome and small by the day

[williamsacks]

Objectively speaking, it would be a real catastrophe for the US or the world if DT is re-elected. For one, even his backup is no more trustworthy. it's a dire situation.

[hgfku-tnhb]

It's indeed laughable when some are still preferring him as a leader
