Regardless of the election of US President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the United States will write a new history.
The oldest president of the United States is the title.
Former Vice President Biden was born on November 20, 1942 and turned 78 the following month, and President Trump was born on June 14, 1946 and is 74 years old.
The record was held by former President Ronald Reagan, who became the owner of the White House at age 69, before Trump took office in 2017 when he was 70 years old.
Former Vice President Biden and President Trump faced a lot of controversy over their age before nearing completion in this year’s presidential election.
My favorite topic was that he was suspicious of my health.
President Trump and the Republican Party even publicly mentioned dementia, saying former Vice President Biden’s cognitive function had deteriorated.
As evidence, there are frequent errors in speech due to stuttering or making mistakes.
President Trump insisted in an interview with Fox News that “Biden has finished mentally,” even ridiculed him for going to a nursing home on Twitter.
But former Vice President Biden has rejected President Trump’s argument.
Former Vice President Biden recently appeared on the CBS current affairs show ’60 Minutes’ and said, “It’s not what I would say to anyone calling 9/11 terrorism a 7-Eleven (7/11) terrorist.”
However, it is true that, when looking at the former presidents produced by the Democratic Party, former Vice President Biden is noticeably older.
At the time of the inauguration, John F. Kennedy was 43 years old, Lyndon Johnson 55, Jimmy Carter 52, Bill Clinton 46 and Barack Obama 47.
Compared to former Republican presidents and presidential candidates, Trump is relatively younger.
However, President Trump also faced a demand for verification, as did former Vice President Biden during the campaign.
Words are like rapid fire in the first place, but the frequency of making mistakes or saying wrong deeds was higher than that of former Vice President Biden.
Also, at the Military Academy graduation ceremony in June this year, he was concerned about exposing the appearance of being sloppy on the ramp and the appearance of not holding a cup of water with one hand and holding it with the other.
President Trump and former Vice President Biden attempted to address the concerns by announcing the results of the health test.
Former Vice President Biden issued a statement last December titled “A healthy and enthusiastic 77-year-old man capable of successfully fulfilling the president’s duties.”
President Trump distributed the results of a physical fitness test in June of this year, which contained the result of “ staying healthy. ”
In particular, President Trump recently suffered from a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but recovered quickly and resumed the campaign in 10 days.
He had both elderly and obese who could be vulnerable to Corona 19, but after getting out of bed, he praised himself as ‘superman’.
Opinions differ on the age of the president.
One side emphasizes that cognitive abilities cannot be the same as those of a young president.
According to the Associated Press, former US President Jimmy Carter, 96, insisted on a presidential age limit at an event in Atlanta.
“If I’m 80, I’m 15 years younger than me,” Carter said.
He was only 56 when he handed over the White House to former President Reagan.
On the other hand, opinions are raised that the old 70s are significantly different from the current ones due to the advancement of medical technology and public health.
“Americans are living longer and healthier than ever,” said Wendy Schiller, a professor of political science at Brown University, in an interview with the British Guardian. “Biden is 77, but he may be in better health than when Reagan was 69.” said.
Senator Bernie Sanders (79), two years older than former Vice President Biden, also showed his no-Ikjang in the Democratic presidential election.
President Trump and former Vice President Biden are flaunting their success, but are noted to be concerned about the emergency.
Former Vice President Biden does not hide such risks. When nominating Senator Kamala Harris (56) for vice president, he took age into account.
Vice President Mike Pence, 61, is also 13 years younger than President Trump, and it is a common observation that the meaning of the security device to reduce the age of the vice president is also reflected here.
